Signing in Seattle, WA on 11/27/12

[Kagehiru]

*Thread bump* Anyone bought their tickets yet?

Yup, ordered them Monday.

[Spot]

I just bought mine today. I can't wait!

Mine arrived today! I keep looking at the envelope while I'm sitting here and getting more and more excited.

I've never been to something like this before, and I have a question. I know it begins at seven, but will people be lining up or anything prior to that? If so, how much earlier might that be starting? I'm trying to plan things out time-wise as much as possible since it'll take me a while to get up there, heh.

I'm going to buy mine as soon as I'm away from sketchy public wifi  .

Yay for tickets! To answer your question, it's a good idea to line up a while before the actual event. I've only been to two other signings (not for Jim though), and there was a full house about half an hour before the event. I showed up about an hour before, so I did get decent seats. With Jim, I expect it to be nuts, so I'd show up at least an hour before. Where are you coming from? I'm driving up from Vancouver, BC, so I'll probably get there well in advance.

Oh, haha, that's a good idea.

Thanks, I figured it might be something like that. c: I'm coming from the Olympia area.

[Spot]

Wow, you are driving much farther than I am!


Also, how does everyone feel about wearing nametags with our forum names on them? That way we know who's who.

[firelight]

When I clicked on the green tickets button, it took me to the bookstore page, not a place to buy tickets. Did anyone else have this problem?

I won't know if I can go until about 5 days before, but I would like to know how to buy tickets in case I need to.

[Kagehiru]

Spot - I'm willing to do that

Firelight - Same problem here.  I ended up just going to www.brownpapertickets.com and looking up the event.  Worked like a charm, then.

[Priscellie]

Good idea, Kagehiru!  Here's that link: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/292757

[Spot]

I see Priscellie and Kagehiru got to it before I could! But yes, Brownpapertickets is the way to go. I emailed them to ask a question about the event and they responded immediately. Great service.

It should take about an hour and a half, depending on traffic. A bit inconvenient, but doable. Fortunately, I don't have to do the driving; I've been introducing my mother to the Dresden Files, so I'm bringing her along and she's driving while I read to her on the way up. XD

Nice idea with the nametags, I'll see if I can remember to do that (though you're probably the only one who'd recognize my name, since I haven't posted anywhere but this topic yet, heh).

Lucky you. I get to drive myself and the husband (assuming he wants to come with me). As far as the nametag goes, I'll wear one with my forum name.


And you need to fix the "I haven't posted anywhere but this topic yet" problem...go stop by one of the threads in the Bar or in any of the other parts of the forum. I promise you that none of the other forumites bite.

Just got my tickets for the event.  This will be my first book signing, so I am pretty stoked.  Will any of you Betas be there?  I would love to meet some of you even though I don't spend as much time here in the forums as I would like.  Balancing a day job with taking college classes is really messing with my goof off time.   

[Spot]

Good for you, restless.spirit!

I don't think any betas are coming, but Jim is definitely coming Sorry couldn't resist!

Will be great to meet you guys.
