I've added it now.  I was going to do so this weekend anyway.  I
generally only list events other than important conventions two months
out, to keep from cluttering up the page.  I doubt anyone plans more
than two months away to attend a book signing.  (Unless they're the
author.)  If I listed everything as soon as I knew about it, major
cons might get lost in the clutter.

Also, the bookstore doesn't yet mention it.  I like to add a link from
our page to where the event is mentioned on the bookstore's website.
If I add the item to our page before they mention it, I have to
remember to periodically check to see if the bookstore mentions it
yet, so that I can edit our page to add the link.  I'd rather only
have to worry about each event twice.  (Once to add it to our upcoming
events page, and once more, after it's over, to move it to our
downgoing events page.)

Similarly, I haven't yet added the China Mieville signing in August
that you mentioned last month.  I plan to add it in June.  Rest
assured I haven't forgotten it.

Everyone please tell me if they disagree with this policy.  Thanks.
