Again, never been to one. :P
So, presumably, the 7pm time is the start of the Q&A, then?
Soulless Mystic5523:
Correct, although a bunch of us will prolly be there early to cause trouble, er help set up and get a nice comfy spot. ;D

To general area of hotel? The airport is way up here in the northland, you're looking at just around 15 miles from airport to downtown.

Yep, last time I was there I rented a car, but I wanted to have one handy for driving around town. Now if I wanna get around town, I can probably just bug Themo or Mystic to drive me. ;D
I talked to the folks at the LaQuinta, and they said their shuttle driver can do airport runs, but I have to call and talk to someone specific to try to set it up. So, we'll see.

I've been to 2 different kinds. In one kind, they handed out wristbands or tickets based on your arrival time, and that's how you lined up. In the other, there wasn't any kind of Q&A - you just meandered in and formed a line.
I recommend calling the store and asking them what their process will be. For example, for one of the signings I went to last year, we went to the store at 10 am and picked up our wristbands, to make sure we'd be in the first group.
Either way, though, I recommend getting there around an hour early. First, you will get a better seat for the Q&A. Second, as Mystic pointed out, you will get to meet and mingle with folks... assuming you don't mind hanging out with some happily geekily obnoxious people. ;)
For the record, we have been huffed at by store personnel, but we have never been thrown out of a signing.

All the ones I've been to here in KC have been the Q&A kind, so I just assumed it would be this time as well.

The one last year in Independence turned into a Q&A at the end, but only because some rabble-rousers hung around and kept pestering him.
