Where was everyone?

Last night I went to Forbidden Planet for the launch of Cory Doctorow's latest novel: Makers.

I was intending to buy the book and leave it pristine. Only rereading it once the serialisation on tor.com had finished. That plan lasted all of about 5 minutes. There's some good bits come up, some lovely character development, and at least one WTF? moment.

Speaking of WTF, that has to be the quietest book launch I've ever been to. I was shocked. I got there about 15 minutes into the hour, and there was only one person there. I spent a good few minutes fanboying (Cory recognised me from a previous signing! Eeh!) and SMOFing (Looks like he probably can't make it to Eastercon). And it was only as I was leaving that another person arrived.

Ah Sorry. I must have missed when you posted about this last week or whenever.
And ansible didn't have it listed either.

Must check the fp website more often. J

Did Cory not tell the internet?

You mean Cory failed on the self publicity front? Tell me it isn't so! I don't believe it!

He'll be here in Toronto next week, let's see what kind of a turnout we get.
