81/365:Queue to get Neil Gaiman autographs

81/365:Queue to get Neil Gaiman autographs
March 22nd

Poor Neil. He was signing for three hours non-stop. But that line...let me tell you about lines in Poland. They're like mosh pits in garbage compressors. If there's an inch of space, someone will fill it, so if you want to get the goodies, you have to hug the person in front of you. At one point I started pushing backwards just to protect the girl in front of me, she was small and I was afraid she'd get hurt. I was also trying to make the man behind me understand that it was not okay to prop his elbow on my shoulder while he took a phone call.

I wonder what Neil thought of such behaviour. He was a gentleman, and handed out cookies and smiles along with the signatures, though he was obviously exhausted. But my friend owes me, I spent two and a half hours being squashed like a sardine just to get an autograph for her. :P I wouldn't have bothered for myself!

Satisfaction after signing another book

And just before the signing, Amanda Palmer gave a ninja mini-concert on the ukulele. I taped it on my iPod, check it out here:

  2. Ona powiedziała że tłumacz musi koniecznie tłumaczyć na żywo to co ona śpiewa. Taki był warunek koncertu. :P
