A word to the wise -- weather for D.C. tomorrow looks pretty grim, so protect your little pretties in plastic against the anticipated rain.

Bev, Are you taking anything to get signed?

I'm not sure. I was trying to find my One Story chapbook with Owen King's story, but I haven't been able to lay my hands on it. Maybe my copy of Dark Dreamers that I always take to NECON and other conventions, sort of like my autograph book. I have signatures from at least half of the people in the book and I never think to take it with me when I see him. I'm trying to travel light.
karen,could you make that 2? id really appreciate it if youre not going to be overloaded with offers.lmk,thx a milionl,barry.
May I just wish all of you going tomorrow best wishes and I hope you all have a wonderful time. Whichever books you all finally decide on to bring, I hope you manage to get them all signed. And don't forget to bring back some photos for the rest of us to feel jealous over.
I'd also like to wish everyone who is going a safe and happy trip. I would love to see photos of the event too.Originally Posted by Clacke

Quite envious of all going.....
I can't believe I am missing this one....
When going to signings out of town, i usually carry something smaller lighter.
I always think 1st edition Carrie is great to have signed....
I also like rare little items like "Contraband" are great for signings or if think might have opportunity to meet or bump into.
For signings locally, I would consider bringing the S/L 999 since just his and Joyce Carol Oates is missing from it.
I also would like to get a Blaze signed....... That is the one of his recents books I do not own signed.
Barry, I shall have to let you know. I will get back to you! tay?
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Thanks Wiz! Ah yes the remarque, I do miss it but am glad to know it's in good hands. Yes I will look for you and your son tomorrow. It will be a cold and possibly rainy night so dress accordingly...
Have a wonderful time at the Three Kings event, friends, as I'm sure you will. I hope you all get a chance to meet each other before or after. Wish I could join you.

Hell yeah I am going! LOL
You got it dude! First one to ask...guess I can do that for you!

youre #1 girl!!!
Finally decided on bringing my Gunslinger and Carrie 1st editions, bringing along a coupe extras, just in case. Not going to try and force anything but just want to be prepared if the opportunity arises.
Managed to get an ARC of Caretakers, also ordered a 1st edition caretakers off of ABE almost 2 weeks ago, and got no response at all from the seller and never got the book, so i canceled it. Picked up a copy of Candles Burning todat though at the local Barnes and Noble, in the bargain bin for $7, its 4th printing but better than nothing.
As for Owen i have nothing to get signed, only thing i can think of is getting him to sign one his Dads books. The one that is deidcated to him by his dad.
I know i have seen this dedication but can't remember which book it is.
So 2 questions, which book is it that is dedicated to Owen ? and is this is a good or bad idea? I don't want to insult him or have bad book reading event etiquette. I have never attended such an event. I just couldn't get a hold of a copy of his book, no one had any and it would take tolong to order one in.
thanks
The Dead Zone is dedicated to Owen.
The Shining to Joe Hill
Salem's Lot to Naomi Racheal
Do you think it is wrong to have him sign that? insulting? bad etiquette?The Dead Zone is dedicated to Owen.

Anybody whos going tonight have an extra Owen book (2 preferrably) they would want to sell me when they get there?
Its probably bad etiquette. But everyone knows that the children of famous people mainly ride on their parents coat-tails.
If you cannot get one of Owen's books, get him to sign the poem, "For Owen" in "Skeleton Crew". At least his name is there and there is lots of space for him to write something.
Good Idea ! hadn't thought about that, hadn't actually remembered that poem ! thanks !Its probably bad etiquette. But everyone knows that the children of famous people mainly ride on their parents coat-tails.

Maybe the best way around that issue would be if you ask both father and son sign the book together at the same event - then I'd think the son would be more likely to go along. Thing is, you'd have to want a signed Dead Zone more than one of the other two books.FYI: I DO NOT KNOW OF PROPER ETIQUETTE HOWEVER I SAW JOE HILL REFUSE TO SIGN A BOOK DAD DEICATED TO HIM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AT Fort Myers Reading FestivalDo you think it is wrong to have him sign that? insulting? bad etiquette?The Dead Zone is dedicated to Owen.

Well....I believe the event is in progress right now.
Lucky bastards!
I want reports!
I want pictures!
Go on....it is ok to gloat!
It's just after 2am on the east coast and there's been no report. King must have invited them all back to his hotel suite and they're still partying.
