I am pleased to announce that Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, will be returning as a guest booksigner @ TRF this season. November 5 & 6 @ the bookstore.
Wow I wish I could make it there.
Oh outstanding. I know just the person I can get that for
That is really cool.
Peter had so much fun last year that he couldn't wait to come back.
Funniest thing I saw all last season was the entire Barbarian Court lined up at Peter's table like a bunch of school kids.
Why is it always on a weekend that i won't be there?
We'll be sure to have some libations for him again this year.
Do you know if Collin is coming with him again?
In all seriousness tho, if you get the chance to just talk to him for a while, it is amazing the circles he's run in, and the conversations he's had. He is a wellspring of information, as well as a great resource for baudy limericks. Getting to hang out with him for a bit last year was one of the best times I've ever had at faire.
the PP and I got to meet him when he made his first appearance at Scarby a couple years ago. The look of wonderment on his face in all of the faire stuff was amazing. The people were odd, but loveing and appreciative. When he wasn't busy he seemed to wander around and talk to people. It really was nice. Several people, including ourselves, said if you like scarby try TRF. What you find here, you will find there 4 fold, and seems like he did.
I told the rest of my clan that he will be there the weekend we are there. I think I made one girl's day. She is a big fan and so is her granddaughter. She plans on buying several copies of his book to have him sign for not just herself, but her grand kiddos.
Setting up in front of the POW was a source of great joy for him. Yes, Conner will be with him. They both said that as fun as Cons usually are, they don't hold a candle to our wonderful wenches at faire. ;)
He has an amazing wealth of stories from his long career. If you can catch him at a free moment, he'll talk your ear off. Couldn't get a lick of work out of my minions last year.
Bleh... Conner not Collin... I gotta get the name straight...
He is a stand up guy, and pretty cool to talk to as well.
I have some peeps here that will definitely be interested :)
I am so excited!!! I missed him at Scarby and at TRF last year (though Ravic was awesome and had a book signed for me). I should be able to actually make it this time! Huzzah!!!
Huzzah! I'll be there!
::Bumping this up::
Just a reminder........
Nov 5&6? Dangit...
Just bought (another) copy of the movie for the wife the other week. Would have loved to have gotten it signed.
Are these guest appearances something that happen regularly?
I remember seeing Jeff Easley out there one year, and I'm SO glad i bought one of his prints, because I haven't seen his booth since.
The faire sponsors artists from time to time.
My booth sponsors 2 or 3 booksigners a year. Had one last weekend for Pirate Days.
Would he sign a copy of the movie? Or only his book bought at the shop?
What other authors will/ have been out this season?
Last time he brought mass quantities of about 15 titles. I believe he did sign some that people brought in. Doesn't hurt to ask.
Last weekend we had R/F's own Blackbead the Pirate signing his books of poetry.
FYI, I just read that Peter Beagle was given a Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Fantasy Awards over the weekend.
That is awesome, and he totally deserves it.
This calls for more mead :)
Huzzah!!!
Will he be there all day? I have to get away from the booth to see him this year!
Both days
Thank you so much for the info. I'll send the kids over to buy books.
