Game of Thrones

I hate it when people, whom I admire creatively, say stupid/ingnorant things. I'll still read you books and whatch your show, but FUCKYOU, George!

Well, I'd say I'm done with him but he already got me for a Blur-Ray and 1-4 book compilation.  Definitely won't be getting HBO next season.

I know you realise that about 85% of the people who entertain us think exactly like that .

I kinda don't care .

Just keep writing/acting/dancing ... whatever .

As far as this stuff goes - I love Peter Gabriel , Boomtown Rats , Pink Floyd , Neil Young , Bob Dylan , Joe Sweden , RR Martin .....

And I can assure you that I do not ever want to be involved in anything resembling a political discussion with any of them .

It's just entertainment, man; I can take or leave any of it.
If he would have left out the Nazi and "teabagger" references, I'd be more forgiving.
I was pretty disappointed with the book series and HBO's season two so it's not like it's some huge fete for me to step away from Martin's works.

Totally cool - I just think that in this day and age where we know almost everything about any person of note ( Obama notwithstanding ) we're going to hear some pretty retarded things about the people who bring us our pop culture .

And since I love the guts out of GoT I'll always make allowances in Martin's favour .
As I said about Peter Gabriel - I love his stuff , he's my #1 .
There is no way I'd be able to stomach him in person for more than two minutes though ....
( and "Nazi" is now shorthand for anything more authoritarian than the lunch-lady , the word has lost it's meaning . I do wish the second anyone utters it , the audience would immediately call the speaker on it . I know I try to )

And as you said "Just entertainment"

My youngest brother just emailed me after finishing the last Jon chapter in book five.

Sending things to our office

Nov. 19th, 2012 at 11:33 AM

George has, in the past, been happy to sign books or memorabilia for fans who were willing to ship them to him. Unfortunately, in recent months, primarily due to the success of the HBO show, the volume of incoming items has gotten too high. This is primarily due to resellers who want to get George's signature on things they then sell on eBay or through other channels.

To put a stop to this so that it doesn't take up so much time, I'm implementing the following policy for signatures:

* Any package sent to this office that has not been pre-arranged with our office administrator at grrmbooks@gmail.com will be refused and returned unopened.

* Items unrelated to George's work will not be signed (yes, I'm talking to you guy who sent us a giant box of baseballs to be signed)

* All signature requests must include the name of the person for whom the item is being signed, and will be personalized at George's discretion. No sending us 20 books "just signatures please"

* If you are a book dealer looking for signatures for your store, contact the office administrator at the above email address and we'll see if we can help you.

If you're a legitimate fan that wants a book signed, please contact us and we'll help you arrange that. If you want George to sign a hundred book plates so you can sell them on eBay for grossly inflated prices, sorry, you're out of luck.
