Darn! I'll be in Philly at the ALA Mid-Winter Conference. Uh, if there's not a big crowd, and you have any left over, could you save me a metallic blue one?

In all seriousness, Westfield's not far from me, and if I weren't going to Philly, I'd come by!

[Jack Getze]

Us Jersey guys should stick together. I'll be in Philly for ALA Conference Sunday afternoon, but you'll probably be back in NJ. You must have been in this store...I heard it was nice.

And sorry, no can do on the saving you a Beamer. Only those in attendance get one. Maybe next time.

Great come-on, Jack. I knew it wasn't true, but it put me in a good mood. :)

[Jack Getze]

Not true? Egads, woman, I gave away four BMWs that weekend. Cost me over $150,000. But I figure it was worth it, right? Finding new readers is not easy.

Karyn, how did you download my voicemail? My accountant is indeed very upset. He says if I just spent this much cash buying my own books, I'd hit the bestseller lists.
