Signing in Washington D.C. (McLean, VA) on 8/1
comprex:
I feel there should be a LoC tour mixed in there somewhere.
ToddM326:
I'm just thinking through logistics and timing for this event so that I can prepare my wife.
If I need to be there at 5:00 pm to buy my book and get a signing ticket, and the event itself starts at 7:00 pm. I assume that the signing line will start at 7:30 pm or 8:00 pm, and that I'll realistically end up spending 1-2 hours in line to get my book signed. So with the drive each way (I live 1 hour from Tysons), and the event itself, I'm looking at probably 6-7 hours.
Sound right?

Sounds reasonable. Fortunately, as D.C. is toward the end of the tour, you'll have data from earlier signings to better estimate how long your signing will go.

Thank you. I'll be sure to bring comfortable shoes, and somehting to do while standing in line. :-)

Edit: I do not condone this type of action which when I worked in retail we called "renting" I was just gathering information.
