The book signing is at the end of the event, so there is no point in getting there early.

So Hamburg is now in Canada?
We are flying out tomorrow morning, and I'll have minimal internet access up there. But we will see you all at the Lounge on Thursday!
Bundle up my american friends eh, there be a right fierce gale comin' in from da north. It'll be colder than a witch's beavertail out dare eh.
I have been debating and debating what books to get signed (for those who do not know, I am a HUGE Dark Tower fan and there is not much left for me to get signed).
At the current moment (subject to change...likely...LOL), as I have 2 tickets, here are the 2 books I am getting signed (and rationale) along with top contenders/runner-ups:
Getting signed:
1) Viking Gunslinger Proof....rare to begin with and as far as I know, none out there are signed....fits with my Dark Tower love and fact that I have Orange Gunslinger Plume Proof signed as well as DT V, VI, VII UK Proofs signed as well.
2) UK 1st Dead Zone.....this choice came to me today as I was going through my collection as I have UK 1sts of Carrie, Salem's Lot, Shining, Night Shift and Stand all signed...Dead Zone next in line and my copy is almost perfect (book + DJ).
Runners-up:
3) Startling Mysteries - The Glass Floor
4) Startling Mysteries - Reaper's Image
5) Gunslinger Plume - Variant Cover (some call it a proof)
6) Wizard & Glass Grant Proof WITH Dave McKean Remarque
7) Waste Lands 1st trade WITH Ned Dameron Remarque.
We arrive at airport around noon tomorrow... Likely will be available to meet someplace tomorrow eve if not stalking the nightmare.
Should be able to get online where we are staying (condo on Spadina & Front) email or pm for phone # if want to try to connect.
Being from Florida where it is so often too darn hot, we are ready for some chillin.
FYI, I would be very surprised if King shows up Wednesday. He's probably a bit disappointed the event is scheduled Thursday. Had he only known in advance, he would have chosen Friday.
I understand what you are going through. Also two tickets (so far) and two items can be difficult to isolate.
I tend to pick smaller items when traveling a ways for signings.
My #1 item is an unique item perhaps 1 of a kind in a collectors hand from 50 years ago (Sept . 6th 1963)
Choosing #2 is more challenging and has me trying to figure out where I stored some things.
I know I have them, I just can't find them...... Almost called David to see if could make a last minute purchase.
However... There are numerous items on the table at the moment.
Proofs of TWTTK or 11/22/63 (already have a number of signed proofs.),
Startling Mysteries - Reaper's Image
Roadwork
Rage (might be bad timing?)
The Monkey or The Raft.
Blaze
and maybe moving toward top 1st edition Gunslinger.
This reminds me once again - you really need to start a collection thread!!
I"m packed and getting ready to head to the airport right now, flying all night, getting into Toronto Wed morn at 10:30am. PM me if anyone is in town early enough and wants to have lunch or drinks on Wed night, otherwise I'll see everyone Thurs night.
I wouldn't bring Rage three days after a school shooting.
Does an extra ticket guarantee an extra signature or do you need to bring someone?
It's a risky move. I'm paying for a friend already. He'll get to see King for free, and all he has to do is get my book signed. Not a bad deal for him.
You're all screwed.
SK is going to be in such a rush to leave (Red Sox World Series),,,Sox suck Go Yankees...
I left my yankees hat and jacket at home. Didn't want to give him any reasons not to sign!!!!
For once, I could not agree with "Merlin1958" more!!! He is a wise and devilishly handsome man!!! The ladies just love him!!
