Nicky has a new Tumblr entry. In it, we learn:
- he managed to get a Chicago library card (using the hostel’s or a friend’s address?)
- he sold one copy of “The Fandom Writer II” in the D.C. train station
- he sold two books to the curator of the Poe Museum
- he had the curator videotape him because he didn’t bring his own videocam
- he’s having the curator upload stuff to Tinypic for him, to get back at @nickypacione
- he returned to Chicago with enough money to spend on hostel lodging for this evening
- the curator gave him a personal tour of Richmond
Aww, Nicky has a new boyfriend.
There was no mention of any other sales at his book signing at the museum, nor was there any mention of the signing itself. That’s a pretty good sign that it didn’t go swimmingly.
Wow such a successful writer! We should all bow down to him! 3 whole sales!
I have to wonder, though, if “took him on a tour of Richmond” = “took him to a local diner and bought two books to keep him from bothering the museum patrons”.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Nikita tried to cadge a meal off the guy. I’ll bet Nicky never made it out to any of the James River plantations. That sort of thing is almost a day trip, assuming they’re even open this time of year.
I’ll bet the “tour of Richmond” was the guy driving him back to his motel after Nicky loitered around the museum, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
I think a “tour of Richmond” is just code, if you ask me. *wink wink nudge nudge*
LOL!
All of your comments guessing at what actually happened, are correct, as someone who visited the Museum that day it was pretty obvious they were just trying to humor him/keep him away from the public while he was there.
It was pretty funny to watch. There was no book signing and the Museum never had one advertised or planed for him to have one. The shop manager said there were no plans to stock any of his books…
Thanks for the info, and confirming our suspicions. There was the following announcement in Style Weekly, but I question how many people would have seen it, much less paid any attention.
Does anyone have the stomach to cast a vote?

My eyes! Where’s my brain bleach? Thankfully, I haven’t had lunch yet.
