Stephen King and Joe Hill appearing together...

[webstar1000]

I do not know anyone that has gotten their tickets yet!

[Roseannebarr]

Everything will be explained in an EMAIL from Porter Square Books. Email should be sent later this afternoon.

If you bought tickets from Ticketmaster and asked for hard copy tickets you should have received them a few weeks ago.

Deluxe tickets, I printed out my confirmation number and put them in an envelope. Originally, they planned to check each individual with ID and make us wait in line. I don't think much will change with that plan. they will tell us where to go and time they open the doors.

Look forward to seeing pictures from the event and hearing all the fun stories.

Wish I could have made this trip.

Have fun everyone.

From PORTER SQUARE BOOKS:


At the theater, we will have a Deluxe Ticket Holders table in the lobby, to the left of the entrance by the concessions stand, for deluxe ticket holders to check in. Please bring your ID and have your order confirmation number handy. We will be checking your name off of our list of deluxe ticket holders, so your name must be on our list. (Contact us directly if you’re concerned that the name on the list is not the correct one.) If you have two tickets, you must have your guest with you as you check in. Once we’ve checked you on our list, we’ll hand you a ticket for entry into the event and put a wristband on you that will allow you to pick up your books at the end of the evening.

At the conclusion of the talk, you will return to this same Deluxe Ticket Holders table in the lobby in order to pick up your signed books. You will need to show your wristband so do not remove it before the event ends! Please bear in mind that while we’ll be getting your books to you as quickly as we can, given the size of the event, there may be some wait time. (Feel free to hang out in your seats to avoid the rush of traffic when the event ends – your signed copies are guaranteed.)

Have a question you’d like to ask Stephen or Joe? We’ll have index cards on hand as you enter where you can write your questions. Make sure to get your index card to a staff member before the event begins and we’ll hand them all over to the authors, who just might choose yours!

A few reminders about our event, as per the guidelines we put out when tickets went on sale:
• No recording or photography during the event is permitted.
• We will not be shipping books from the event, and no late or early pick up is allowed. Everyone will get their books at the end of the evening. You must pick up your books at the event itself, in person; we’re unfortunately unable to make any exceptions.
• All seating is general admission.
• We will not be issuing refunds – so plan to be there!
Please respect your fellow attendees by following these guidelines, which we’ve set in place in order to ensure that everyone has a wonderful evening surrounded by fellow fans of these brilliant writers.

I am just back from 2 week holiday. I will be attending tomorrow night (as a guest) of someone here. I hope to meet/see some of you there.

Sounds like the Beantown weather is going to be a bear. Talking power outages and airport delays. Hold on to your books.

Was this sent to everyone? I did not get an email with this info.... (But my order did go through)
Also never been to an event like this--- I take it that it isn't worthwhile to bring in another book in hopes that he signs books at the end?

[Randall Flagg]

The only reason to bring another book (any title), is if you have an inkling where you might find SK before or after the event. Getting another book signed AT the actual event is almost always impossible.

Hey Jerome,
Was there a link to a website?
I didn't even get this and I had the tickets in the basket but could never get confirmation.

Nice!

I'm looking forward to hearing how the speaking engagement went. I imagine it was a fun night to hear those two talk.

Was an absolute blast. They played off each other like Laurel and Hardy. They were on stage for an hour and half. Great q&a stuff between each other. Porter Square Books said they were recording it and it would be available somewhere. Was also really cool to see some tdt.org peeps. Paul Trembley was in the house also according to Mr. King. Would have been nice to meet him.

Very good interaction between the Father and Son. Better questions from one-another than those picked from the audience.
