Banzai Cat called up to tell me that there are tickets to Neil Gaiman's appearance at El Centro, Subic on November 24, 2007 for P1,500 (the ad is in the November 3, 2007 issue of the Philippine Star). It'll be from 9 am onwards. That had me thinking and checking on my sources.
Anyway, apparently I missed out on Neil Gaiman's other appearances in the Ad Congress. Here's his schedule:
November 22, 2007:
9:10 am - 11:10 am - Speaker for "Imagination and Creativity in the Contemporary World"
11:10 am - 11:30 am - Q&A
November 24, 2007:
9:00 am - 11:00 am - Neil Gaiman Book Signing
Anyway, as for the Fully Booked Expeditions, as far as In-Print is concerned, it's on November 24, 2007. Whether it pushes through on that date, since there's no formal announcement yet, remains to be seen. It's also possible that they'll have him presenting the awards by proxy/live telecast or something.
Edit: Pinoy Gaimania and New Worlds has more updates regarding the November 24, 2007 signing.
Any concrete place yet for where Neil will sign books? I'm thinking of having a signed one for a christmas present; for whom I don't know quite yet.
ReplyDeleteWell apparently the Ad Congress has a slot for Neil signing books so as of now, I'd go with that since the Ad Congress has an announcement on their site and Fully Booked doesn't. While Fully Booked's magazine In-Print does mention Nov. 24, 2007, that was printed ahead of times and their plans might have changed. I guess we'll only truly know as the date approaches (or from Neil himself).
ReplyDeleteHehe ironically, even Gaiman doesn't seem to know what his schedule is...
