askthepaperclip Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 So, my wife and I are going to make a long awaited trip to Philadelphia, which just so HAPPENS to coincide with the WoR tour stop! She has plans with a friend Friday night, so I am free to nerd out into the wee hours. Is anyone interested in a post-signing 17th Shard meetup? Anyone from Philly here who knows a good bar or restaurant near the signing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudeis Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 There's a slight chance I'll make the trek up and join you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiyan Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 This is a long shot, but as I am in Boston the signing in Philadelphia is my best chance. Would anyone be interested in carpooling down from Boston? I don't have a car, but I can drive and pitch in for gas! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shash Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I am tentatively going to attend this event. It's a five hour drive for me, and I have to be in Syracuse, NY at 6am on Saturday, so it's sort of a stretch to get there, but I'll try. I'll update this post with more concrete commitments one way or the other as we get closer to the signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbereth Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 We are doing a scrapbook for Brandon which will include thank-you cards from his fans, and we were wondering if anyone would be willing to pass out cards to the fans waiting in line so they can give them to him? Information can be found here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homerpat Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Just wanted to give a heads up to the out of towers. The signing is actually in collegeville which is a suburb about 20 miles west of the city. I believe the bookstore is in a nice newly built shopping center which has a few nice bars in it. Google providence town center for a list. This is my first book signing I have ever attended. I couldn't be more excited that he is signing only a few miles from my house. Brandon Sanderson has completely renewed my interest in reading. I have just recently finished all of his work and I am excited to get a copy of Words of Radiance signed and hear some words from Brandon in person.

karaokeang Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Homerpat you are going to love meeting Brandon. He is so nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasha Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Gosh, this is going to be an even longer shot, but if someone is going for a book signing (especially in PA), could I please have help in getting a book signed? It's next to impossible to accomplish this on my own, since I'm firmly (and unfortunately) positioned in Asia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shash Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I have confirmed that I will be going to this signing. Hope to see some other Sharders there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurkistan Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'll be going; my first signing, actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailessar Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I'm confirmed to go as well. This is my second signing by Brandon. Just finished WoR and now I'm even more excited to go. Awesome, awesome book! If anyone would like to carpool with me from the Lehigh Valley area, I have a 15 pass. van that I can take.

Ailessar Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Chicago is totally in the Lehigh Valley area... A bit of a detour, that, unless you mean Little Chicago, PA. But even that little town is at the other end of this freaking long state. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shallan88 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 My first signing as well, I'm so excited to meet Brandon! Is anyone interested in meeting up for food/drinks after? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingtoastr Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm going to try, though it is a pretty hefty drive (I'm over in Pittsburgh). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailessar Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I forgot to mention in my other post that there may be a $5 fee for the autograph, unless you buy the book from their store. I bought my copy of WoR from the store and the lady at the counter told me to keep the receipt with the book, even taped it up to the dustcover for me, so I'd avoid the $5 fee. From what she showed me, there'll be quite a few fans there on the day, at least the ones that signed up so far. About two or three pages worth of loose-leaf pages. And that was only when I went there on March 5. So if you're going there, and you haven't RSVP'd yet, I suggest you do, and also to ask them to reserve a book for you if you plan to buy the book from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHyde Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 This is a long shot, but as I am in Boston the signing in Philadelphia is my best chance. Would anyone be interested in carpooling down from Boston? I don't have a car, but I can drive and pitch in for gas! Possibly! I was thinking about doing it myself but I didn't want to spend the night and I didn't think I'd be up for so much driving in one day, but if you're able to help with the drive I'd definitely be interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhandric Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm planning on making it. @Ailessar Is this a ticketed event? How would one go about RSVPing for it? I'm about an hour north (Allentown), so, it'd be nice to know ahead of time. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutiketAiel Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I had no idea RSVPing was even a thing until I saw this thread. You can just call the place (their number is with the event listing on Brandon's page: http://brandonsanderson.com/upcoming-events/#5422) and let them know that you're coming, and how many people you're bringing with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailessar Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 @rhandric, if you mean you have to buy a ticket to get in, then no, I believe it is free to come and sit in on the Q & A. But as NutiketAiel notes, it's a good idea to RSVP, just so they know how many seats to set up and how much space to give the signing. I think there will be a lot of people there. This is what the bookstore says about the book signing itself: Event books will be available on site for purchase and autographs. To help cover event costs, there will be a $5 autograph fee for books not purchased here. This fee is waived for all books if you purchase the event title, Words of Radiance, from us. I called them up and the lady told me that I can have up to three books signed, whether I pay the $5 fee or buy one book from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhandric Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks NutiketAiel and Ailessar. I called them up last night and RSVP'd after seeing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHyde Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Would anyone be interested in meeting up for coffee or dinner in the afternoon/evening before the signing? Leiyan and I will be getting in to town a few hours before the event starts and we'd love to meet up with other Sharders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
