Please note: all authors must leave at 5pm. To ensure the authors

can leave on time, the TBF (committee) volunteers will make a

determination at 4:30 regarding the length of the line. At that

time, the TBF volunteers may need to stop newcomers from

joining an autographing line if there are already too many people

in the queue, and possibly limit the number of items being

autographed to ensure that all fans get their items signed.
