At the Portland venue Stephen & Owen were allowed to choose the questions from the pile of cards that they wanted ti answer.
Pics will have to wait until tomorrow, but it was an enjoyable day, night.
Don Maitz sat in the seat in front of me and drew, painted the most incredible image of King.
I'm at airport, and don't have time to edit and resize a bunch of pics (and I'm saving the sketch Maitz did of King until last).
I was in the back row (by choice), so the pic is not as good as it would be if I was closer, but the library had very good lighting.
webstar1000 (Kris) was chosen to ask a question, and TTBOMR, he said:
"I'm a member of the website The Dark Tower .org, and every day we discuss the Dark Tower books. Are you going to grace us with another Dark Tower story?"
King waits a long second or so then answers emphatically: "YES".
Cue house applause, just shy of a standing ovation.
TTBOMR??

The Sarasota event was a lot of fun! I met some new members and reconnected with some older members. (How's that for a double entendre?)
Don Maitz was as interesting as ever. He was gracious enough to sign and remarque books for us.
The Kings' interaction was quite smooth. They were humorous and told many stories that I had not heard. Sai King still was able to use some of his usual bits though.

Had a fabulous time in Sarasota last night and loved meeting many of you! Big thank you again to Jerome for the awesome Don Maitz sketch. That was so kind of you. Sorry to miss the gathering and giveaway but I couldn't resist being in line for a front seat. So worth it too..felt like I was sitting with them on that stage!
I am photo challenged....trying to master the art of getting them up here. Stand by...
Prior to the King(s) event, several of us got together to socialize. Don Maitz showed up to join us. Don brought several original pencil sketches and an A/P of a Suntup Desperation print.
Don also was kind enough to do some original remarques/art in books members brought. Near the conclusion of festivities, just prior to heading over to the library, I conducted a drawing and gave away 5 or 6 cool items. Thanks to Don for coming, and for donating all of the sketches. Thanks to Don, and Paul from Suntup for donating the A/P print.

Ok. I made you wait 15 minutes.
Maitz worked on several pieces as he was at the event. Here is one. Note he nailed how King looked that night, the t-shirt color is correct too.
