I'm posting them here too for convenience. Is it just me or does this seem a little light on stops? I was certainly hoping he'd come to the East Coast! Monday, November 13 @ 7 PM BYU presents Brandon SandersonUtah Valley Convention Center Provo, UT Doesn't that link say the release is at the BYU Bookstore, not the convention center?

Argent he/him Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Chicago-area tours always freak me out, 'cause they tend to be towards the end of the tour, and I get paranoid as I read from the top... 1
AngelEy3 he/him Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) 500 miles. On a weekday. To Chicago.... Major disappointment in seeing how many stops this tour isn't making. My 3rd book release now and that's the closest he's been. Really? 6 stops and 4 of them so close you could spit to the next one over. Edited August 2, 2017 by AngelEy3
Ammanas Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Its both good and bad. The bad-not going near my area this time around. The good-it's not too many stops. Honestly I don't want him spending a lot of time touring. I want him focused on writing. 2

At least he is coming to Chicago. Can I make it that far? Sanderson, why you not come to Nebraska? I hear you're from here (or have I answered my own question there). 3
Guest Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I find this tour to be... disappointingly small. I really hope Brandon and his team will find a way to palliate to the fact the tour for their most anticipated book ever looks so small.

Mestiv he/him Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 There is still a lot of time to the start of the tour, I expect more stops will be added later.

Iarwainiel I she/her Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I'm sad - he almost always comes to Dayton. He has really spoiled us, hasn't he, with being so accessible for so long. Oh well. IIRC one of the WOT tours was in November/December, but his kids were tiny then (or not born yet!) and committment to family is one of his many admirable qualities. I still hope to attend the midnight release, even if it is at 7 PM for some odd reason...
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Gah, London in December?! When I'm in Oz?! Much sads
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 I am sad about no East Coast locations, but I will probably try to make the 12-hour drive to Chicago from Allentown anyway. If anyone is interested in carpooling, drop me a line. Allentown is about an hour west of NYC and an hour north of Philly.

Alpharho Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I guess I was spoiled with Denver visits for Shadows and Bands. Oh well, maybe for The Lost Metal.
btcannon Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 To anyone who has previously attended a Brandon release party at BYU--how early would you recommend showing up, and what is the parking situation like? (I'm guessing it will be busier than previous ones since his readership is continuing to grow--just not sure what kind of crowd to anticipate.) So excited!
Lightning he/him Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 I usually show up an hour early, and very few people are there. I do it to play Magic the Gathering with those who are interested. It starts filling up after that. By the time they open the doors there's often a good 100-200 people lined up. 1
Hafrigado Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Does anyone know if the signing in Houston is still happening? Will it be cancelled due to the flooding?
