Signing in Uniondale, NY, tomorrow. Here’s my schedule for the #stokers :

New Yorkers, come to the big book signing on Thursday Night in Uniondale, at the Marriot across from Nassau Colliseum.  This story from Newsday gives you plenty of reasons! Here's my schedule for the 2011 Stoker Weekend.  And here's the program plan for the whole shebang. I'll probably be posting things here throughout the event. There will be a live videostream of the banquet and award ceremony on Saturday night, circa 9pm on ustream.  With Jeff Strand as emcee, you know it's going to be fun.
