Actually, I'm not doing Pub Quiz tonight, I'm going to The Double Down Saloon for the release party/book signing for Blue Vegas: Stories which was written by the saloon's owner. I don't know how I am going to get my copy signed though, since I bought the Kindle version. The Double Down Saloon is over in "that" area of town nestled between leather fetish shops and tattoo parlors and none of my so-called friends are brave enough to go with me. If you don't hear from me in a week either send help or forward my mail.
Anyway, the real reason I was making a post was to say that HBO gave the Game of Thrones TV series a greenlight and we can expect to see it next year! Woot!Lots more fun and reading over at the "Winter is Coming" fan page which recently moved to a new location at http://winter-is-coming.net/
I've been pretty much avoiding George R. R. Martin's blog, because I get frustrated reading about all the convention hoping he is doing instead of writing the next book in the series. I wonder, if the TV series is popular, will that inspire him to finish writing the series knowing that if he doesn't, some HBO script writers will do it for him?

I didn't realize game of thrones wasn't finished when I started reading it last year. Now I'm just pissed that I got suckered. I avoided Robert Jordan for this same crap.
I didn't know there was going to be TV series, even though I had thought myself it would make a damn good one. I would start it with a 2 hour episode of the first short story about Dunk and Egg. Unfortunately I just know that hollywood is going to screw it up.
I already said too much about Jordan and Martin a few years ago when Jordan passed away.
