    Interesting article. I could have been a pig farmer!

    I see like me, he is a native of Illinois.

    My mother told me that I got the audition because my Grandmother sent in a picture of me in response to a newspaper ad looking for a boy around my age for a movie roll. I also recall something about them wanting a mid-western accent.

    I am waiting for your release of information about other parts you played.... Was that you in Hooterville on Green Acres? Did you sing with Britney & Justin on Mickey Mouse Club?

    Your hotel is right around the block. But I think a 4pm meet might be better. We may want to be first in line...

    I "reserved" the Watermark Lounge for 4pm for 15-20 people. Its not really a reservation per se Just made sure they knew a larger group would be there and that they were prepared to handle the drink orders lol.

    I decided 4pm would be better than 5. In fact I thought an after event meeting would be better but the lounge and restaurant close at 10pm. The event is at 8pm so no way did that work. The lounge has a short menu but does include steak, pizza, burgers and chicken as well as a few appetizers.

    So official Meet Drink Eat and Be Merry:

    4pm Watermark Lounge Oct 24
    Radisson Hotel Admiral Toronto-Harbourfront
    249 Queens Quay West
    (416) 203-3333


    Looking forward to hanging out with you all.

    Anyone have an insight on how the book signing is supposed to work? I wonder if there is any advantage to getting there early. Supposedly King will sign for an hour, but I find it hard to believe he walks away if there is still a line. He signs fairly quickly and could likely knock off a couple hundred in an hour, but there could be 400 people in line.

    I am also interested in this answer.
    With some people we were discussing what time we should go to the Paris signing. Some people said midnight, some said the earliest metro possible (~6am)... for an event in november, starting at 1pm.
    I dont know what to think : there will be foreign people, and I am sure that they would like to get a book signed after spending some bucks, so i would tend to say that they' ll go early... but i have no idea of what that means.

    If it's strictly 2 hours = 120 people i guess, with an average of 1 person per minute.

    With the book opened and no talking, i timed him at 4 per minute 240 in the hour. NO TALKING or distractions!

    In Savannah Georgia, everyone that wanted a book signed got one signed. In fact, less than 300 people wanted a book signed, and we were able to get multiple signatures, because there was still time left. We started lining up at 10 am and the people that arrived at the event at 3 pm still got their books signed.

    The weather is going to be cold.....that may scare some folks off.

    I think he could easily sign 400 books in 1.5 to 2.0 hours.

    Hopefully his handlers will move the line along. No posing for pictures. Having the books ready (DJ folded to the page to be signed), handing him books from one side, talking them from the other, etc..
