Envious, Shadoth? Come to Paris in Easter, and I am sure you will get a gift too.

Well, now I hope for second place, if Tiger68 wins as expected.

January 23, 2005. Because blogging is a winter sport - and I think he'll have to wait until after Christmas.

Three days after he does a guest-voice for the Simpsons (but he doesn't need a paper bag on his head like some authors...).

you know, i see so much pynchon these days. on the board, on the simpsons. i was strolling around my local used book store and saw a copy of "the crying of lot 49" for $5. so i fell to my knees, screamed "it's a sign! or a series of them!" and bought it. so uh, let you know how it goes.

i am maybe being too enthusiastic here but, maybe right after his tour for the paperback of PR??
That is going to be, lets see...
February 21st 2004 is his last event in NY and i am giving another week for him to recover from that, that makes february 28th but this year , February actually has a 29th which is actually a Sunday...
My guess is February 29th, early early morning...like 3:00 am...
hehe, i am having fun, sorry for the blabbering guys...

Well, not really. Or at least not yet.

Despite Tiger68's most noble attempt at a guess with an advertising campaign to support his hunch, still no blog.

L_han has the next entry on the list. Will she win?

Stay tuned and remember to click here to see if he's back.

I feel like making a prediction myself. I'm guessing WG will be in London on June 24, 2004 for the UK Paperback Release which also will correspond with Neuromancer's 20th anniversary. Will someone please offer me a prize?

Funny coincidence. While looking for clues on Penguin UK's site, I discovered a little link to "Author of the Day". Congratulations WG! Penguin.co.uk's Author of the Day, February 25, 2004!

I wonder if he will get a commemorative plaque.

Fashionpolice, I will offer you a price, specially indicated for the 20th anniversary of Neuromancer. And I have it right here, so you probably will get it even if Bill let's you down. Just remind me in June...

I'm going on vacation.
See you later.

Perhaps I can use post 1000 to announce the winner of this competition. Otherwise Doggo will just have to get his hands on a real gun and post a new Still Life with Books and Gun photo to get me to post.

Looking forward to reading about the WGB Party in Vancouver on March 20 while I'm on my posting vacation.
