Argent Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Some more from Barnes & Noble: Jan 5: West Jordan Jan 17: El Cerrito Jan 24: Newnan I must confess, I am mildly worried by Chicago's absence here. It's possible that B&N just won't be Brandon's host for Firefight in Chicago (a hypothesis supported by the low number of B&N events total), or that those events are just not in yet... but I am going to be one sad chull if I don't get my annual dose of Brandon in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lindberg Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 He'll be in Houston on the 23rd. Dang it. (School semester has started by then, plus Moorcock will be in town.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragrin Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 The Houston one is on a Friday at 6:30 pm, so I should be able to make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetlander Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 There's a fairly high probability that the Seattle event is actually on January 6. The UBooks tumblr post says "Tuesday, January 7" which is a non-existent date (the 7th is Wednesday), but the bookstore's website says "Tuesday, January 6." The website specifically says "Join us as we welcome Sanderson for a reading and signing on the day the book comes out." So... I'm going with the 6th for planning purposes. It also sounds rather like it will be a non-ticketed event held in the bookstore itself. Shardlet? KaraokeAng? anyone else going to be there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Just found another event, in Seattle on the 7th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Brandon will also be at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY on Monday, January 26th at 7:00 PM. He almost always stops at the Joseph-Beth in Lexington or Cincinnati, OH, I think they took pretty good care of him and make an effort to have his other books stocked, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just an FYI for Argent and anybody else in the Chicago area- Brandon did say something on Twitter back in October I happened to run across saying he would probably be back in Chicago in January for an actual signing... nothing concrete, but we can hope... I don't understand why the tour hasn't been made public. Very strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Arum Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I just sent a tweet to Peter to determine when we may find out the full dates for the tour and this is what he responded with: any day now it will be announced... Given that the tour is starting in T-7 days, it seems kinda odd that the publisher didn't announce the tour dates in advance to better market the tour in any way. I mean, I know the 17th will show up if we have members in a given city, but geeze! Nonetheless, thanks for the update, Peter! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAhlstrom Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) I have absolutely no idea why it wasn't announced 7 days ago, unless Christmas threw off everyone's timing.

Argent Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Brandon just published an essay on io9 about Why Superhero Books are so Hard to Get. It has some tour dates at the end. All of them say "Not Chicago, IL" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyPilgrim Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 So of course Brandon's coming to MA the one day of the week I have a major obligation. I guess I will have to "get sick" or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyPilgrim Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 NOOOOOOOOO only one event is even slightly close to me... I hate that feeling... This is the first time (at least, since I've been closely following Brandon) that he has even come close to me. I envy the Utah group who can go to all the midnight releases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAhlstrom Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Brandon should be in Chicago in March. It's still being scheduled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudeis Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I ask this partially rhetorically, and partially in the hopes Mr. Ahlstrom will actually answer. Will he continue handing out codes to the old Shardhunt on the Firefight tour? Will the first two codes on the new tour count towards the old one, then work on the new one? Will he just start a new Shardhunt fresh and we never get to find out what that last one was? Will he start over, but add this as the first of the new one, but we still need 50 codes? If we finish the new one, will he let us go back and finish the old one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 As I understand it there are no more codes for the Shardhunt /to/ be given. There is going to be something new for Firefight though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashiok Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Seriously? No New York? Oh well. Looks like I'll have to try to fly up to California MLK weekend, so I don't miss any school. That'll go over well with the parents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
