Terry Brooks fans score!
Well, I guess we have to give them SOMETHING. After all, it's the only way that Terry Brooks can score points on S R D.
And then the ravens pecked out his eyes.

Sigh.
Where do I begin. They have this security team that everybody calls the gestapo. They're a bunch of goosestepping, red shirt wearing, gimpy-leg dragging, basement dwelling, mall cop wannabe, losers who are very, very, very rude. They have these black headsets and utility belts with flashlights, beepers, mace and the works. I'm not kidding. They have this military-government flavored attitude. It's not very condusive to a laid back convention, and did I mention that they're rude. Last year, they were making fun of people's costumes out loud while those people were in ear shot.
Furthermore, the convention is being overrun by card games and the gaming rooms are pcked with three games to a standard hotel sized room. That's about thirty smelly gamers in one room.
Did I mention that the security is rude? Terry Brroks came to do a book signing last year. I was the last person in line to get my book signed. The last person. When I got up to the table, the security pulled me aside and told me there would be no more signings. I was the last person in line... Bastards.
Conduit has great guests. If you can get anywhere near them.
Don't get me wrong. If it's freak shows that get you going, then by all means, go to Conduit. Some of the scariest species to be found anywhere.
Did I mention the rude security team drowning in there own lust for power? I mentioned some of the complaints to the person in charge of security. She told me to mind my own business. Nice attitude...

Apparently Brooks is stil writing light-weight derivative cheese that fails to keep his readers occupied, let alone prevent such insecure feelings about their reading preferences.
April Fool's day has always ben for amateurs who still find the lampshade on the head funny anyway. If they really wanted to "get us" they would force Brooks to write a decent readable book. Now that would something to be surprised over.

the ego trap of believing his own publicity,
ramble on, accentuating the autobiographical elements,
Find a lounge chair and lie down and close your eyes. Let your mind drift.
the sorry tale of a book he had to abandon, due to it being rubbish.
must learn to live with crushed dreams, as well
obviously limited in its scope
- from one his official sites.

Damn...I feel for you, and a bit for Terry, too. I mean, who'd have thought his RSD would flare up after signing only 2 books?sgtnull wrote:Did I mention that the security is rude?

When the man with a 45 meets the man with a rifle, you said the man with a pistol is a dead man. Let's see if it's true.
