Three New Minis
Dark Sword Miniatures has just rolled out three new miniatures in their Ice & Fire line.
There's a couple of hedge knights, one young and one old -- no, not Dunk, he's "the" hedge knight in my Dunk & Egg series, and we'll get to him sooner or later, but these are just a pair of random hedge knights, the vagabonds of the Seven Kingdoms.
Here's a look at the greens:
The third new figure is a named chareacter: everyone's favorite turncloak, Theon of House Greyjoy, seen with his bow in happier days

Boys Says Goodbye to TO
So the Dallas Cowboys have released Terrell Owens.
Smartest thing that Jerry Jones has done in years. Addition by subtraction.
I certainly hope that the Giants and the Jets both have the good sense to stay away from this guy. He's a talented receiver, sure -- although age has started to catch up to him -- but he's also a locker room cancer.
Most of ESPN's talking heads seem to feel that the only team that might take a chance on TO now is the Oakland Raiders. Is even Al Davis that crazy? Maybe

March Madness
My new Library Tower, under construction since last June, is nearing completion. A few more weeks, and I will finally be able to get my books out of boxes and back onto shelves, where they belong. This process has made me acutely aware of just how many books I have (a lot), and especially how many copies of my OWN books I have (more than I need).
We got a nice response to the TUF VOYAGING sale in January and the WINDHAVEN sale in February, so I figured I'd follow up with another sale for Marc

Once More, the Calendars
It's now March, and I think... hope... that we are almost done with the calendar business.
Les Dabel has assured me that everyone who bought and paid for a calendar has now been sent one (some have been sent two, or even three, he says, in cases where the first one never arrived). The international shipments may not yet have been delivered in all cases, overseas airmail being what it is, but all of them are on the way.
This leaves only the signed calendars. And no, those have not yet arrived her

I Know Just How You Feel, Pat
Hey, looks like I'm not the only one...
http://www.patrickrothfuss.com/blog/2009/02/concerning-release-of-book-two.html
I have received every one of those emails as seen in Pat's cartoons. Many times over.
(I wasn't going to comment anymore about DANCE, deadlines, and lateness, but a friend sent me this link, and I couldn't resist. Somehow it is actually weirdly comforting to know that it's not just me and my stuff).

RRetrospective
A friend of mine has a copy of the lettered edition of GRRM: A RRetospective that he's looking to sell. It's letter "B". For information about price and condition, write
lperson1@austin.rr.com
The RRetrospective was the original Subterranean Press edition of the collection later reissued as DREAMSONGS. Same contents, but the Subpress edition was autographed and copiously illustrated by a whole bunch of terrific artists.
