How many people usually attend these kind of things? I live only about an 90 minute drive from it, but it is kinda expensive to attend...

I want to attend, but I'd like to know more about the schedule. Will Jim be speaking, or just signing autographs?

[Victoria/David]

I have no idea. I can tell you that it is going to cost 130.00 to attend, according to the website I visited..and the money has to be in by May and there are no refunds. I have to say I have hardly even heard of the other authors that are going to be there. It says no outside books due to time constraints, yet it is a 3 day event, that you must pay to attend, while I will admit that I don't want to lug a ton of books around I would already have my copy of Changes, so I would want it signed, so this makes no sense to me...idk..Vic

If you've ever been to an "open" signing, there are plenty of people that will indeed lug around all their books and all their friends' books and their neighbor's books...  Some places just place limits on how many things you can ask be signed. It looks like this event is limiting it by making you buy the books there, which also helps out the vendors who're selling there, I guess.

They also list a "Public Author Signing" on the last day.  Does it mean someone could attend just that and not the whole event?  The website is a bit vague on how everything works.

I can't even find a contact number on the web site; the only number they list is the hotel's, and as I don't need to book a room, I doubt the hotel would be of any help.
