Bill Clinton brings his book tour today and tomorrow to the Bay area. I had half a mind of going to his San Jose signing, which is quite close to where I stay, but the long lines that are promised quickly served to dissuade me. For all his faults, I do admire the guy and would love to get a book signed by him, but I just don't relish the task of standing in line for hours for the opportunity.
Update 6/30:
Turns out that the event was badly mismanaged by B&N staff. People started gathering at 4 a.m. on Monday morning. Quite a few people are quoted in the Merc saying that B&N gave them bad information and led them into believing that if they showed up on Tuesday morning, they would still get in.
A friend of mine checked EBay and we found that a signed copy had sold for 3500. That is ridiculous. There were many others that were selling for anywhere between 200-500.
