Alex Theatre marquee.

Neil Gaiman appeared at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA on Thursday evening. People began lining up for good seats six hours before showtime.

The photo below was taken over twelve hours later, at 1:54 a.m., while Gaiman was busy graciously signing everything put in front of him. Whether it’s blurry because a fan took it with his cell phone, or just reflects how everyone felt after a marathon day, is for a poet to decide.
