Couple of announcements:
- I’m stunned, but thrilled that my autographed 1st edition of Dancing Barefoot went for over 400 bucks on eBay. Even better was how excited the buyer was to have the book!
- I saw that another guy has put up a signed first edition auction, of his own. So if you want one that’s signed, and you don’t need it personalized, it’s a good opportunity for ya. It’s authentic. He was one of the first buyers to order a bulk order from me a few months ago.
- I’m equally stunned and thrilled that my Borg9 shirt did so well, too. I have a few more of those, and that auction got quite a few bids, so I’ll probably put up another one.
- My friend and former roommate, Chris Hardwick, is performing a 12 minute Rock Opera based on Tron tonight. I saw it on Sunday night, and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life.
- My schedule for LosCon this Friday and Saturday has been finalized, and I added all the details on the Conventions page. I am particularly excited about my reading on Friday afternoon.
- I found some copies of my book this morning. I’ll bring them to LosCon to sign and sell. Lots of people have e-mailed asking if there is any chance they can get one, so if there are any left after the con, I’ll put up a dutch auction.
- My favorite hockey team, the Los Angeles Kings, are currently sitting atop the Pacific (Smythe) Division!!
- On
MondayTuesday, I will have an epic announcement.
I don’t know how much rewrite I’m going to get done today . . . we have a lot of preparation to do for Thursday, and I feel guilty writing while Anne does stuff around the house. I’ll post whatever I get done.

i dunno, 400 bucks for a book is a lot of dough. i think i’d be worried about the amount of influence i had if a book of mine reached that sort of sum at e-bay. maybe i just see a terrorist hiding behind every lamp-post…
Congrats, Wil! I have yet to read the book but judging by everyones comments and this lame website, it sounds like a winner. This is only the tip of the iceberg,right Wil? You are a very good writer judging from your rewrites and observances chronicled in what has become to me the best blog of anyone. Congratulations on what is certainly a high achievement.
Please Please Please tell me someone taped the Tron Rock Opera show and your gonna give us information where to pick it up. Please Please Please heheehhehehe.
Is the epic announcemant winning a Kia hatchback…?
Well, probably not. But I’ve always wondered about the “Wil Wheaton Car of Whimsy Drive” and it’s results, as that was how I found this site (ha, does that count as a negative hit?).
Whatever the EPIC announcement, it *sounds* good, and I’m happy for you.
