Huzzah!  I'll be there!  Probably with daughter in tow!  Nothing else on the agenda that day, so I plan to be early!

I intend to be there as well. I'm going to try giving them a call, see if there are any rules we need to be aware of and such.

Knight Disciple - If you bring a book to be signed, they will want to give you a marker so they can tell you aren't buying it from them.  If you buy the book there, keep your receipt handy. 

Even though this is very short notice, don't be surprised if there's a big crowd. 

I may wear my glittery shamrock antennae so recent fans from the forum can recognize me.

The subject says 9/14, but then the first post says 8/14. I am assuming it is August 14th?

I would love to stop in and say hello.  :)

Cool. So, probably shoot to get there about noonish, I suppose. If I can bring any book, I might just bring in my copy of Small Favor...

Tamerlane -  Are you close enough to Independence to be there?  If so, watch for me & my shamrock antennae.

I would really love to be there....but when I looked up the directions it is an almost 9 hour drive. :'(

Even then I contemplated it but on such short notice it is a bit much. One of these days...I will get to say hello.

*stage whisper* Come visit Nashville Mr. Butcher. >_>

Making a weekend road trip out of it, and coming back thru KS to pick up Runzas from the Runza Hut... Yummy!

Yay Piotr!  Will you be staying overnight in the KC area? 

There's a band playing at an Irish pub called Waxy O'Shea's Saturday night. (It's west of I-35 on Shawnee Mission Parkway at the intersection of Quivera.) Daughter and I and my best friend are going there for dinner about 8 pm. No cover charge before 8 pm.  $2/adult after that time.  Food is good and prices reasonable.  You're welcome to join us, if you'd like to.  Band starts at 9 pm, stops at 1 am.

A number of our SCA friends will be there.  One of them is in the band.  Not sure what kind of music it will be. 

To other JB fans who go to the mid-day signing:  The above is really an open invitation; the more the merrier!

Just wanted to let everyone who's going to the signing in Independence Saturday to know about the evening entertainment that's available on the other side of the KC metro area. 

Musical Blades, a pirate, sea shanty, comedy and Irish music band is playing from (9 pm to 1 am at Waxy O'Shea's  Irish Pub in Shawnee, KS.  Exit I-35 to go west on Shawnee Mission Parkway.  Pub is on the NW corner of the SMP with Quivera.  Come early for dinner,  Families welcome. ( Adult cover charge of $2 beginning at 8 pm. )  The food is good, prices reasonable.  Hope some of you can make it!

To hear what the band sound like visit this website:  http://www.musicalblades.com/
 They perform at many RenFairs around the country.  Some of you may have already heard them.
