Great stuff!!! Thanks for posting!!

Not happy... Unless things radically change in the next couple weeks, I won't be able to make it to the signing. At worst, I'm only out $65 for two tickets, so at least it's not a significant financial loss. Still, I'd love to be there. My wife doesn't have a lot of vacation time to spare, and we'd like to spend more time in Maine to get our money's worth, rather than just being there for 2-3 days.

sorry... you're on the list... no backing out now... death is the only acceptable excuse...

so unless you want to die... be there or be square

This was awesome! So much research went into this guy's trip. Although I wouldn't go looking for his homes. Still think that's weird.

Well, except for Boston, my wife has never been to the Northeast. So, she would probably kill me if I went to Maine without her. That puts me in quite the Catch-22.

Hello,
No... unfortunately I won't be attending... but i would like to ask for a favor about this "Stu Tinker King Tour".

I'm looking for someone who will share with me some photos from this tour and who will later answer some questions about it.
Please send me PM and I will get back to you after the event
Thank you in advance

[Nerak]

I'm in too - I'm not even 100 percent sure I can make it, but after giving it some thought, investing the $30 for a ticket seemed like the smart play...I'm about 90 minutes away, so I can make it happen, and if I can't, no big loss...

Nathan, if you can't make it I will buy your ticket.

Never mind, I now see that you are going.

If anyone has an extra ticket, I would love to go.

I am not on here often enough to catch these things or I would have a ticket already!

BUMMER

Hey Karen, I don't think that'll work... I was told they are requiring a photo-ID that matched up to the ticket reservation to get the tickets - so if you bought it, you'd still have to be able to pic it up, which might not be possible.

Yeah, I've already tried to move my tickets since i can't go any longer. Since the tickets are under my wife's and my name, the bookstore won't allow me to have the names changed.

[Xerrand]

I wish he'd come to Ireland and do a signing I can't afford a trip to Maine!!!

I know a place on tremont st in Boston that makes killer fake ID's.

I do but seriously ,you may be able to plead with them to let a friend pick up your books for you???

[Lot guy]

Seems a little over the top

[TrueNorth]

HEADS UP if you are hoping to take the SK tour in Bangor. You should prebook with Stu. I am booked for July 14 @ 2:00.

I bought tickets for my wife and myself. My sister had to buy her own tickets.

TrueNorth aka Foster Walt

We are driving 10.5 hours from outside Toronto and staying in Bridgton July 11 + 12. Next morning on to spending two nights in Bangor, Stu picks up at our hotel.

I turned 65 this week and was reminded of 25 years ago in Caracas where I got hooked on King and got 3rd degree burns. It was this PB of The Stand that dug into me and wouldn't let go.

Looking forward to meeting you all. If you see this guy drop over and say hi.....



OMG 1990

[Randall Flagg]

Two weeks away!

anyone else find it ironic that "truenorth" is naked, "popping a tent" under a towel, while reading "the Stand"
bwah haha

[Randall Flagg]

Maybe he's at the part where Flagg deflowers Nadine.

Tremont St Huh?!?!? hmmmmm

Damn damn I am hoping that the tickets can be switched. Cause I got a line on one.

[webstar1000]

Anyone going up Thursday? Me and the wife are going to Old Orchard for the day/night... if anyone is around for a "pop" or two

[Nerak]

Tickets cannot be transferred :-( But, if people don't go...what do they do with the ones that bought but didn't make it to the signing? Just mail them the books?!?! Unsigned?!?!

[Kingfan24]

No - I'm sure they keep the books for a later date and sell them at a premium.

[Randall Flagg]

No - I'm sure they keep the books for a later date and sell them at a premium.

I'm sure they sell any extra signed ones, but if a person couldn't make it and was willing to pay shipping, I'd hope they would send an unsigned one.
