The Gathering in Singapore and the J.K.Rowling meet up / Aztonishing in color

Neil Gaiman in Singapore (Jul4-6,2005)
a fellow Gaiman fan talked to me online and told me that her nephew was in Singapore for the Neil Gaiman book signing event, She called him on the phone and then her nephew shared his experience on the Singapore tour of Neil Gaiman. And then later shared on to me..and now shared it to you. So we can see here and expect on what will happen on July 9.

There are lots of people who came in that event, and some of the people, most majority are females, cried when they found out that they didnt reached on time for the last number book pass. It was a very sad moment for them for waiting the whole long line, and the last number pass can no longer accomodate them all.

Also some of the lucky people have asked Neil Gaiman to draw, well lucky ones are mostly girls, who got DREAM sketches from Neil. and If you asked nicely and show up those cute little eyes, he might give you a sketch and then autograph. Too bad that some of the male visitors didnt got the luck to get the sketch. So my friend's advice was - hey Az! Tranform into a Girl now! you might get a Neil Gaiman sketch.-

Also after the booksigning, Neil conducted a lecture and later on entertained some questions from the fans. One shared short info was "Good Omen" was supposed to be made into a film on year 2001. but the project didnt pushed through. //*oh! its okay.Mirror Mask is here*//

In Singapore, Neil Gaiman signed lots of Mirror Mask books, and they said that even if you put a bulk of Mirror Mask, Neil will signed them all even if it is owned by one person.. wow!!! //*Neil is so excited (I think) to share the Mirror Mask story to all fans, hoping that the movie will be shown here in Manila. *//

and the number of crowds in Singapore is humongous, so I think the 500 lucky stub holder will be trooping now the Rockwell tent on Friday.
and maybe, I think some of them might camp out outside the venue, just to make sure that they get the book pass and number early on Saturday.

Right now I'm still thinking what will be the outcome of the saturday event.Im just wishing that it will be a good sunny day and no problems will encounter.
