Signing in Boston (Cambridge), MA on 8/3
Fyrchick:
I think I'm in info overload!
I wish I had more time to poke around town before the big event.
I also just saw that William Gibson will be there Thursday night. ARGH!! I wish I had known before I got train tickets! He is also a fav author. The gods are just playing with me now...
Still wondering about meeting before the event... I think we'll probably end up finding somewhere once we get there and post it here. If anyone is interested in a pre-signing beverage and food of some sort then that would be very cool! PM me if you have ideas or just want a heads up when we figure it out!
Looking forward to meeting other forum peeps....

I'll be driving down from Nashua, NH (about an hour's drive) with my son, Gary, and his wife and 5-year-old son. Gary is the one who got me to read the books and now I'm a bigger fan than him! Maybe I'll even pick up some Burger King crowns! My son is about 6'5", so if you see a really tall, kinda husky guy with longish brown hair and glasses, that is probably him ... and I'll probably be close by.
So, what is this "pre-signing tea" someone mentioned in an earlier post? I won't be able to get there until 6:30 if I'm lucky, since we can't leave Nashua until 5:15 then need to find a parking spot. I hope I'll get to meet all of you who are attending!

Tommy Doyles, good food too

I think this is the 'tea' since timing puts us at either late afternoon or AFTER the signing. Both of which are agreeable options!!

The signing starts at 7p. I have NO IDEA how crowded it will be so we (myself and 2 other Mainers) will probably try to be at the bookstore around 5-5:30ish. We will most likely be honoring our Celtic heritage by hitting the Tommy Doyles by 4 or so.
Hopefully we will see other forum-ites there! If not look for the people with crowns. ;) (Crowns made of what I can't say, but there will be crowns. Oh yes, there will be crowns.... )
Also, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize in advance. (Blanket apology, just in case.)

Hi,
Pardon the N00b. :o Does anyone know if Mr. Buther will only sign one book or if he will sign 2?
If it helps, there is a long sobbing backstory involving a sister-in-law who died before Ghost Story came out, and her 16 year old son who is just now reading books his momma loved.

I think it depends on the crowd. The contact person at the store said there wasn't a purchase requirement, but all of the other B&N stores have one. I'm pretty sure that given the situation the books will be signed. Considering Jim dedicated 2 books to the forum and then one of the forum members who died I think you shouldn't worry.
Don't worry... we'll get them signed. :D
