Jason Williams called up tonight, from the front gate, and like a drunken teenager announced that it was time to drink. His exact words were something like "Bring out your Doug. It's time to drink." When I arrived at the bar I discovered that there were three boxes of Last Week's Apocalypse waiting for me. Having read the collection already I was not exactly sure what to do with the copy I was handed. I thought about rubbing it on my various body parts, but was subdued by the realization that this act would have been percieved as impolite.
Instead of stimulating my nipples I spoke to Colleen Lindsay and Mahesh Maj Rohan. Mahesh accepted a copy of the book, after all he'd paid for one in advance, and seemed pleased to have me sign it. Nice of him. Colleen turned out to be Night Shade Books' new publicity chief, although I'm sure her exact title is something else entirely.
Then it was back home again, within the half hour, with three large boxes of books in tow.
