I hope that it is helpful. I know that it was back when I did a similar thing. Is Explorer going to the Sarasota event?Originally Posted by Br!an
I'll be there.
Thanks to one of the most awesome members on this site!
EXPLORER will have a good idea where to meet.
Now I just need people to say "preshow (and give a time)" or "postshow"..... or Both.
WANTED
US 1st Printings. I have THESE
#92 IT Portfolio (or the #95 IT to swap for the #92 that I have)
Any #95 SK-related Cemetery Dance Edition
Any #7 PS Publishing Edition
Sleeping Beauties: Signed Tour version.
Both.
Pre-show would be at noon or 1pm at the latest so people could eat and drink and still have time to go to their room, or go wait in line 4 hours. I don't do lines so well, so I can't see myself getting in line until ~90 minutes before the event.
After the show, whoever wants to meet can do so also.
I will be traveling from TX to a friends house in Chicago. He'll be joining me, he has read maybe 10-20 king books (mostly borrowed from me). I will be at his mercy since I don't plan on renting a car, but I will try to talk him into going to any meetup we have before the talk.
An alternate location would be http://www.safe-house.com/. It is very close to the theater (walking distance). In fact my friend and I went there before going to see "The ghost brothers of Darkland county" at the pabst theater several years ago. It's a very interesting place. If you don't know the password they will make you do silly things to "prove" you are not an enemy spy. (you will be on camera for other customers to watch).

I'll be there.

EXPLORER will have a good idea where to meet.I always enjoy Duvals & have shared that place with several other members. I go there for lunch often when in Sarasota.
We have met at Classico (corner of Main & Palm) before and/or after other Sarasota events. It would accommodate a larger group.
I am not familiar with Tavern on Main however can try and check out this week.
We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Will you be going to the Naperville show too?I will be traveling from TX to a friends house in Chicago. He'll be joining me, he has read maybe 10-20 king books (mostly borrowed from me).

No, my friend prefered Milwaukee since he lives in Wilmette IL, which is north of Chicago, so trafic is better, plus Saturday night was better. After hearing about the venue for Naperville, glad we made that choice.

also attending the Sept. 27th Newton Mass event!
can i crash this party? attending the signing with a plus 1!
~ i know a small group of like minded collectors also attending, and we were looking for a place to meet up before the event
I'm going to be coming down from Seattle (and then afterward trying to get home before 2am), so I'll be lucky if I get to the venue in time for the show,so chances of my making a meetup are, I'm afraid, not particularly good.
Where is everyone staying in Sarasota? Tampa?

I'll be in NYC and am bringing a friend of mine. Depends on the meet up place and time if I can make it. I have lots of sightseeing to do!
What would be a preferred time for you?
NY people, should we poll to see what people want to do in terms of pre- or post-event gathering/dinner/food?

Sounds good. I think you need to get on this!

Consider it got!
BEFORE: Doors open at 6:15, but I'm assuming most of us would want to get there at least by 5:30-6:00 for a better chance at a good seat. Meaning a meet-up/gathering/dinner would be a couple hours before. Maybe 3:00-3:30 (or even earlier, depending on what everyone's feeling). The only restaurant I know nearby is Junior's (which is 6 minutes away from the church), though I'm sure there are others.
AFTER: The "show" is at 7pm, so I'm guessing we won't get out until 8:30ish, depending on how long the conversation and book distribution goes. It might be late for a week night (especially for those traveling), but on the pro side, we wouldn't have to worry about time constraints.
I guess the real question is whether NY attendees want to eat or not (and how long you can hold off).
Let the voting begin!

I'm not sure as I don't know what we're doing that day yet so please don't plan around me. Once you guys decide on a time and place(either before or after the event) I'll see what I can do as I would love to meet everyone!What would be a preferred time for you?
Travel to Sarasota booked.
Arrive early Wednesday morning. Leave Saturday. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
So who is available for the Boston meetup? Would people prefer before or after the event (or both)?My wife is my plus 1 and we also will have 2 old friends from Boston join us.I'll be a plus one for the meetup.
I'd only possibly be available for a before meet up in Boston. Traveling with the family so we will be touring around Boston that day - along newbury street (gotta keep the wife happy). And afterwards we will be driving straight to Vermont for a family wedding that weekend. So don't count on me - but I can probably swing by if people meeting before hand

I think eating around 4 would be better or after the event. Not sure if Jacob is coming or not but I won't be able to leave until school around 2 is out if he decides to come. I might be able to get him out a bit early??Consider it got!
