May I just say so that it can be passed along to the powers that be how thrilled I am that the KC signing is with Rainy Day Books again?!  Not only does it support a local bookstore, they run the smoothest signings I have ever seen.  The venue is comfortable, they have a great sound system so it doesn't matter where you end up you can hear everything, and their method of numbers for the line makes the wait be something pleasant.  They call you up in groups!  No waiting in line for hours, even if you have a really late number you can just sit and talk or read until it's your group and then you stand around for 15-20 minutes.

I will have to drive in from Omaha, NE to get to this signing so I have to plan when I'm going to leave for this.  How early do people start to arrive for a book signing like this?  How long do you think it will run before its done?

Heck, I might be driving in from San Antonio, TX for this. Can't wait!

I really don't remember if your number is based on the order of pre-order or when you get to the venue for pick-up.   I'd say call the store, they are very nice and very helpful about these events.  Where you fall in the order really affects the time you need, and might change your mind about how early you want to be.  Maybe an hour to an hour and a half for the Q&A, depends on how much he riffs on the questions, then a short break while he girds his loins (well his wrist anyway).  Figure on at least 500 at the signing if last year holds steady.  They call up groups of about 50, and each group is maybe 20-30 minutes before the next group gets called.  I rolled out around 9:30 last time I think.

At least it's an easy drive, many a time I've driven up to Omaha for a show at the Sokol Underground. ;)

You'll want to look for the free parking that's about a half block before the Unity Temple, it's almost across the street from Barnes and Noble.
