> Every now and then they'd have one at Barnes and Noble or something, and it'd be some poor local author sitting out in the middle of traffic, and everyone walking by and trying not to make eye contact.

I just don't those event are advertized very well so the people who might go to them just don't since they don't know they are happening.

> I think you covered that very well!

Thanks. I haven't been to a lot of those but I've seen a couple (and they mostly turn out like the story). I've also seen some ad's for a few & the first thought that came to mind was "Who?"

> I enjoyed the look at the day through April's eyes, and seeing a bit of her comic career.

Thanks. I wanted to use April's comic career as a way to connect the 2 women: they are both into comic books so the connect would work because unless it seems forced. I could have done it from Catherine's perspective but April sitting in the store being ignore just brought up to many ideas to turn down.

> Really, Kirk should do more with her.

I'd be up for that but it's really Kirk's choice.

> In any event, good stuff with J.J., and Catherine was surprisingly shy.

Why wouldn't see be? She meet someone famous! Catherine being shy was reflective of a few time meeting someone in the comic book industry (I've meet Alex Ross twice & Jeff Parker twice). I hardly said 2 words to AR when I first met him, the second time years later I managed a few short sentences. I rambled a bit with Jeff Parker the time I met him, not sure he knew what I was saying (it made more sense in my head). The 2nd time was more relaxed, I got some answers to a few questions & he did a cool sketch for me for free!

> A fun chapter all around!

Thanks.

I have thoughts for another April/Catherine story but my ideas require the Legion being around so it will have to wait. \:\)
