Would love a copy if anyone ends up with extras.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
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...
I'm going as well, along with wife. We'll be over in the Adirondacks for vacation during that time and so I thought why not make the beautiful drive over?
Anyone communicating offline, via email or otherwise, regarding the event and signing thoughts, I'd like to participate. Please PM me and I'll join in. Thanks!
Making a 15 hour drive to see my favorite author. I'm nuts...
No you're not. If it was 15 hours for me I would also do it. Have fun!Originally Posted by Kingfan24
Yeah, I can't make it either, sadly, from FloridaI wish great times and success to all fortunate enough to attend!

so question...
If I decide to fly up... would it be better to fly/stay in portland rent a car and drive to Brighton...
or
fly/stay in Bangor and drive in from there for the signing.
is anyone else flying in... and if so, what are your plans?
Terry, Is that Max Headroom? Lol
so... I bought a ticket (BTW... she says she has about 100 left)
I just need to work out the logistics now... never been to the east coast other than florida... should be fun.
thinking about flying into wherever on friday... staying the weekend and flying out on Tuesday.
like I said, would love to know what others are doing so I'm not all alone in Yankee land... I hear that can be dangerous for us hick Texans.
showing your age ? yep, that's good 'ol Max
Portland for sure mate. The town is right next door... 2 hour drive if you were in Bangor.

Portland for sure mate. The town is right next door... 2 hour drive if you were in Bangor.
yes, but RF's comment about doing the stephen king tour... isn't that in Bangor?
and it'd be nice if I was staying in the same town as some of the rest of the people going (and staying) so we could hang out...
Jerome, when-day and time - are ya'll planning on doing the tour?
flying in on Sat is over 100.00 cheaper than flying in on Friday
(with flying out on Tuesday)
I just ordered two tickets. Now I have to wait for my wife to get home and tell her we are going to Maine next month.
I would be interested in the SK Tour (although I think I have seen about all there is to see). When are most going to Bangor to do the tour?
The problem with Portland is the likely lack of direct flights.
If you fly into Boston, you're an extra two hours south - but the tradeoff of driving from Boston is probably going to balance out with the time it would take to make a flight connection, etc. So Boston would work I think.
If you get a decent flight though, then Portland is a good bet. Or look into Manchester, NH -it's a bigger airport than Portland and it's closer than Boston.
{Edit - I see you already looked at flights...so they must have worked out. Good!}
yeah... still need info about the king tour timing which might effect my booking plans...and if anyone else will be staying in portland , or bangor... or???
yes... when?
this will be extremely fun seeing you Bob...
Quite a few different plans out there, but I plan on flying in to Bangor leaving SFO Friday night on a red-eye.
My eta to Bangor is Saturday before noon.
I plan on the Bangor tour Saturday afternoon, then to stay in Bangor Saturday night and drive early Sunday to Brighton.
Post event, I'll likely meet with those who wish to for lunch, then drive to Portland for the night.
I'm sure others are doing it differently-many staying in Portland or Brighton Saturday night.
Portland is one hour. Bangor is 2.25 hours. Lots of SK sights in Bangor. NOTHING IN PORTLAND. Bangor is where i want to be! Just getting your picture in front of his old house was worth a 5 hour drive for me!
I'm staying in Portland also.
