Sleeping Beauties By Stephen King and Owen King Book Tour:

[TacomaDiver]

Hey Ron - I plan on making the trip down to PDX so if you want to only have to drive to Tacoma and go down the rest of the way with me and my GF you're more than welcome to.

This is all dependent on me getting two tickets when they go on sale.

Looks like my wife can't make it, so if I decide to make the trek from Seattle I will likely be flying solo on this one. Haven't yet decided if it's worth the drive.

Cons:
1). I've already seen King speak live.
2). I've already ordered the CD Gift Edition of SLEEPING BEAUTIES, so if I wind up w/ an unsigned trade it'll be redundant.
3). It's four hours both ways, in weekday traffic.

Pros:
1). It's Stephen King.

Understood. The only other time I saw King live was in Seattle and my wife and I went together and stayed a few days. Making that drive solo and driving back late would give me pause. Fortunately for me downtown Portland is about a half hour drive for me.

At this point I believe this will probably be Mr. Kings last trip to the Northwest, don't even think he would come now if it wasn't to promote a project with Owen. This will be my second time seeing Stephen and first seeing Owen (assuming I secure tickets next Monday). My wife, though not to my level is excited to see him again as she enjoyed his sense of humor more than she expected. She also went with me once to see Joe and was shocked at how close his mannerisms and personality matched his dad's she is interested how close Owen is.

This theatre has a maximum capacity of 921. Assuming "Up to 400 signed copies" will mean 400 signed copies the odds of getting a signed copy is pretty good.

The Chicago(land) venue holds 5,000. Other appearances have said up to 400 signed copies would be distributed randomly. If that's the same for Chicago appearance, then the chances of getting a signed copy aren't that great. What is that, less than 1 in 10? Math and me aren't on speaking terms.

8% would get one. Actually less than 8% after I GET MINE!!!! LOLOLOL!!!!!

Thanks! You too. I have the limited on order, so I won't be overly unhappy if I don't get one, but I'd sure love too!!

Me too. It would be great to have a signed trade edition--especially from an event where I got to see the Kings--but I will have a signed limited edition regardless. I also have the trade edition and slipcase on order (I bought it before CD announced the special editions) so if I get a signed edition, I'll put it in the slipcase and gawk.

[bsaenz24]

Well, if my wife snags a signed copy, I'll be happy to store it on my bookshelf free of charge! Right next to our signed editions of Bag of Bones from the lat time he was in town. I am so excited. Good luck to you!!

Congratulations guys! Still waiting for details on the Portland appearance.

SWEET!! I did tell my wife that if she should happen to get a signed copy and I don't, I'm SURE she would want me to have it.
