[WelshWitchPMD]

I wonder if she is going to be doing any other book signings across the country?

[MoonWaterPoet]

I wonder if she is going to be doing any other book signings across the country?

Woah ~... OH... I WONDER ~... WHO WROTE THE BOOK OF LOVE ~...

[StreetAngel86]

:eek:

holy sh!t

Mama doing a signing....
dammit i wanna go
even if i'd just be mute, staring at her with a grin on my face the whole time like i'd been given too many tranqs :p

[kathy1]

thanks for letting us know.

[T-bone]

I am SO there.

[TrueFaith77]

After my Mick signing experience (http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=39268), I'll probably skip this. But look forward to stories from anybody who does get to go.

[MacMan]

Holy cow! This is really something... Has she ever done ANYTHING like this? This will be massive!

[wheart]

Well I guess I'm hoping on a bus to NYC on the 31st!!! Seriously, this is very cool. :blob1: This totally made my day!!

[SandyMac]

Wow, this is totally unexpected. I really hope B&N really know what they are getting themselves into with this. Security and crowd control are gonna be a nightmare.

Damn, I really wish I could be there. The line is gonna be long on this one though, but still would be cool to experience, even if it is for a brief moment for a quick hello and signature.

Have I said this is totally unexpected? But very well appreciated that she is doing this. Wow.

I hope someone is lucky enough to snap a few pics, even if it is with a cell phone to post here.

This is sooo awesome!!!!! My sis lives like a block and a half from there... If I can't make it..I'm sending her .. I called BnN and she's only signing 1 or 2 items each and its only the Soundstage item...

[desertangel]

How Cool Is That?! I'm sooo jea-lous of you NYC people! Plz... piccies (of Stevie ANd the mob) and lots of journalistic reports!

Srsly, is this a first for Stevie? seems like it might be... I LOVE it!

[kak125]

aww man the first time Stevie is going to sign something and i cant be there. son of a bi*tch!! if i wasnt starting a new job on that wednesday i would totally drive there just to get her autograph. that is so awesome though.

[T-bone]

I will be there right after work. I'm glad it's at 7pm and not noon like Mick's. I had to skip out for a long longer than my lunch break!

[nailatixela]

Wow this is sooo cool! I'll be there. :D

[Enchanted_Stevi]

DAMN!! I wish I could go!!!

[HejiraNYC]

Woot! :blob1: :blob2: That's just a few blocks away from me. :thumbsup: Hopefully I will have my "lithograph" by then...

[RockALittle250]

Woot! :blob1: :blob2: That's just a few blocks away from me. :thumbsup: Hopefully I will have my "lithograph" by then...

Yea, that would be cool if she could sign that, but hopefully the B&N people don't consider that "memoribilia".

[HejiraNYC]

Yea, that would be cool if she could sign that, but hopefully the B&N people don't consider that "memoribilia".

I will cut the b***h who denies me my signed litho! :mad: :lol: It is, however, technically Soundstage-related memorabilia, so :shrug:...

Seriously though... this is going to be a mob scene of epic proportions. It's even going to put the reunited Golden Girls DVD signing to shame. I wouldn't be surprised if they use Union Square park as a herding pen to keep out the thousands that show up... :eek:

[kak125]

i am so jealous of you guys, see this is why i need to move to new york.
so do you think you will be able to ask her any questions? it would be cool if you could talk to her for a minute and then get a picture or something.

[GavinBrown]

I AM SOOOOO THERE! OMG DREAM COME TRUE! I hope i can get a pic as well!

[1sttimelongtime]

YIPPPEEEEE :blob2: I will be there!!

They dont ever televise these things, do they? I know when Howard Stern did a book signing it was all over the news, but I've never seen any since, not that I have paid attention. All I need is for my boss or one of my asshole coworkers to be watching tv and to spot my fat ass on line when I claim to be home sick!

[HejiraNYC]

I'm not going to ask any questions. I'm going to tell her: GET BACK IN THE STUDIO. NO MORE REHASHED OLD STUFF!

[kak125]

I'm not going to ask any questions. I'm going to tell her: GET BACK IN THE STUDIO. NO MORE REHASHED OLD STUFF!

awesome! that works for me. you need to have somebody video tape that. i would love to see the look on her face when you use the word rehashed, LOL! also tell her we want to hear sisters of the moon on the next leg of the tour!

[michelej1]

I'm not going to ask any questions. I'm going to tell her: GET BACK IN THE STUDIO. NO MORE REHASHED OLD STUFF!

Oh, you will turn to mush when you get there, mumbling something about wanting a Bella Donna remaster.

Mick must have told her about these things and she decided she wanted to do it too. When she said she is proud of this CD/DVD she really means it, to do this.

This means she's got to do it in California too. I'm not going to go, because I just have no patience for lines or militaristic book store personnel. But it is very exciting.

you know if she did like a 10 date signing tour for this dvd/cd she would sell a ton of copies. there are so many people that i know that would love to meet her and would buy anything just to do it. i just wish there was a way to go to ny to get her autograph. my mother in law would absolutely love that. it would be a great birthday gift for her. i am sure if i met her i probably wouldnt be able to speak. i would look like such an ass. my hubby drags me to all kinds of sports signings and i never have anything to say to those people. i always feel stupid, ha!
we were at heinz field the one day for a rocky blier signing and we waited for a few hours to meet him and just as it was our turn the lady that was organizing the signing told us that he had to go and that there would be no more singings. my hubby was so pissed that he told her he didnt care and that he waited for hours to get rocky's signature and he was going to get it. so he pretty much pushed her out of the way and went right up to him. he was more than happy to sign his stuff and after we left i saw others did the same thing. i understand people have schedules but there wasnt that many people left in the line and that lady didnt have to be so rude.

[LikeAWillow]

OH. MY. GOD.

I'm there.

The end.

[Phoenix]

Wow, this is totally unexpected. I really hope B&N really know what they are getting themselves into with this. Security and crowd control are gonna be a nightmare.


'Ha! they have NO idea how big of a crowd Stevie Nicks can still draw. It will be funny when they find out though!:] I sooooooo whish i could go!!!!!!! This is awsome though, i love it.

[RockALittle250]

I'm not going to ask any questions. I'm going to tell her: GET BACK IN THE STUDIO. NO MORE REHASHED OLD STUFF!

If you say it like that she'll probably have one of her henchmen drag you to the back room...:eek:

[SandyMac]

Seriously. Someone needs to slip a note to Stevie just saying.

"Your entire fan base would faint and be so happy if Fleetwood Mac performed
Sisters of the Moon" during the Unleashed Tour".

:nod:

Anyone wonder why FM has not been booked on any shows like Letterman yet or Today Show? They are in the NYC/Jersey area, why not?

[michelej1]

Anyone wonder why FM has not been booked on any shows like Letterman yet or Today Show? They are in the NYC/Jersey area, why not?

Good question. They had some sort of deal with NBC the last time around, right? They did Dateline and had the song on Friends and something else (Third World?). Maybe that's what got them on Leno for 2 nights.

But why can't they do Letterman anymore? I thought he liked them once upon a time! Michele

[GavinBrown]

why dont we all just makeup our own tshirts.....and they all say in unison....
"all i want is to see SOTM live...before i die"?

[MacMan]

If anyone is feeling intimidated by bring up the SOTM subject with her - or if there's no time.... Why not write something, stick it in an envelope and just leave it for her at the table... She'll likely get a kick out of reading some of the pleading within...

Note to Karen: Get yourself some sort of suggestion box for people to drop in their envelopes.

[ILoveFM]

This is so awesome! I hope she goes all over the country to do this. I would love to meet her! OMGOMG!

[DameLindsey]

I've never posted before this brought me out! This is so exciting! I live in NYC so this is incredibly exciting. I have to say, though, after having stood in line for several other artists at this partiular store....this is gonna be crazy. Am I right to say that getting in line 12 to 14 hours beforehand would be a good idea??

~Shannon~

[David]

If anyone is feeling intimidated by bring up the SOTM subject with her - or if there's no time.... Why not write something, stick it in an envelope and just leave it for her at the table...Better yet, why not just sort of quietly hum or sing the opening verse while Stevie is signing your DVD?

And then sigh deeply, look upward at nothing in particular, & mumble, as if to yourself: "Ahhh...to hear Sisters of the Moon again one day."

Then snap back to the moment, as if you were done daydreaming.

She'll get it.

Haha...that's brilliant! Too bad the majority of the people in line will probably be like "I'm so glad you guys are sticking to the hits on this tour!"

Who else have you seen here, and how long did they stay? How long did you wait in line before? Please tell us some info so we can be prepared. :D

[goldustsongbird]

It'll be a scuffle of boots, lace and paper flowers. Someone will get beaned in the head with a tambo. Coke will end up in a few asses.

How can I get to this? :lol:

what, David doesn't want her as his wife anymore? :distress: :laugh:
i love Letterman
i want them on Letterman

maybe one of you going to Mama's signing could drop into a late show taping and drop a word to Dave :D

[StandbackStevie]

I hoping to be there i just need to switch days off with someone so i can go there and pray to be able to meet her OMG I hope she does Boston too in case I can't get there or can't get close to her that place is going to be mobbed i tell ya I can't wait to see Mama Nicks and have my pic taken with her if i do I will wet my pants right there...lol

GREAT idea!!!!!! I was going to ask if any one knows how soon the line starts forming for something like this, as I have several friend's going! LUCKY! LOLOL.. Is it the night before, or early in the day???

True Faith, I saw you went for Mick's signing, and sorry for the yucky thing that happened to you.. - but do you know if/ when the line starts forming for something like this?? And I know there's going to be a LOT more people there, then for Mick.. (no offense to any Mick people- as we don't wanna go there again..:laugh:)

If anyone knows the answer this this, it would be SOOOOO helpful!!

Thanks,

Arlene

may i suggest that any ledgies going to this signing all wear T-Shirts with big writing "We Want you to Play Sisters of the Moon Stevie!" since i doubt there will be time for actual spoken words, this would be an awseome subliminal or i guess unsubliminal message to Mama that we WANT her to do that song.

[whitewingdove73]

I have never seen Stevie in person or in concert. Never been able to have that honor. :distress: For personal reason (problems at home...ect) and the fact that she is going to be in Union Square...my god. I live in NY...I would only need to take the E train to Union Square...:rolleyes:

I have health issues, and I am afraid I will be jumped on or runned over by people and suffer a cardiac arrest or broken bones. So as much as I love Stevie....I have to pass this one out. I can't risk my health. :distress:

*cries*

You too huh? I have been dying for the band to play that song. All they play is the same songs over and over.....

I would love for her to do Storms too.

Honestly, these things are so well organized that there really isn't any danger of being run over or hurt in any way. The only major inconvenience is the wait...

[DameLindsey]

Who else have you seen here, and how long did they stay? How long did you wait in line before? Please tell us some info so we can be prepared. :D

I saw Tori Amos at this store a few years ago following the release of an album and book. I got there at 6am for the 6pm signing and I wasn't first in line....probably
20th or so. They let people into the store once it was opened. They hold events on the top floor. There are chairs set up (although they won't let you sit in them til its almost time for the event-and most people end up standing) infront of a small stage with a table and chair where the person signing sits. You walk up on the stage, get a signature and you're escorted off. You're literally sitting in the store, on the floor in the book aisles. The wait is agonizing, but worth it. My fear is that 12 hours won't be early enough. I don't think B&N understands what they've gotten themselves into. And I believe there were wristbands involved, etc. That's a possiblity.

[SandyMac]

Yeah, I hope they know how much of a crowd Stevie can still draw. Especially at something like this. They might be thinking, oh ok Stevie Nicks CD signing... ok, she was popular, but not like today's young artists... well.. they have a rude awaking because if Stevie is in da house, there is going to be a lot of excitement there.

Wow, I wonder what she will wear... Basic black or maybe she will surprise us.. doubt it, but you never know. Hope she does the waves in her hair.

I know there is not much time involved for each person at the table, but hope she gets enough hints verbally or written that we all want SOTM. I mean is the song really that difficult now for her to sing? I guess Stevie does as Stevie wants, but she would make so many fans so very happy.

Or as a pointed question that requires a yes or no answer really quick... like Is the Rhiannon Movie going to get released in the next 5 years? yes or no? LOL. Like she would answer, but a fun question to try to ask.

You know, the moment would be fleeting, but I still would be so nervous standing there right in front of Stevie, so if anyone does get in a question or comment, I give a lot of credit to those people. I really want to say... you still got it, go in the studio and record another kick ass Fleetwood Mac or solo record. You still kick ass on stage. or something like.. looking forward to hearing more music from you in the years to come.

Wow, to wait 12 or 13 hours for this.... but wow, it is a "Stevie event" and I imagine there will be a lot of cool fans there.

Now see if she is signing stuff like this, why did we only get offered a "handful" of signed lithographs with our online order for this CD/DVD? She should sign an extra 500 or so CD covers and make those available to fans via her web site, through B&N or something. Like a code to put in for ordering or something. ahhhh, just thinking out loud I guess....

Thanks for the info. I was wondering what would be a good time to plant myself in B&N. If you leave the store, do you lose your place in line? What did you do for food? I want to be as prepared for this as I can! LOL. And I agree, I don't think B&N have any idea the kind of hell they've brought on themselves. NYC is the home to NOTS, after all.

Thanks again for the info!

[stevinix1]

Yea, I was wondering the same thing.... and I wonder how long she will be signing for. They are open until 10.

Will the B&N hawks let us get a picture with Stevie? I am guessing no!

[GypsyDreams]

Awww wow!! you all that can go to this are SOOOO lucky!!! I wish she would do signings at some other places too! I'd wait 12 hours!!! I want a chance to meet her <i>soooooo</i> bad!! Why oh why cant I live near a big city. :(

[Rox A Little]

I will cut the b***h who denies me my signed litho! :mad: :lol:

If it's not the B&N people it will be KAREN!:eek:
Seriously...someone should plan to distract Karen at all cost! She will be telling Stevie it's time to go after the first signature!

Rox

[StandbackStevie]

I hope we can bring a camera to take a pic with her is that possible i will have to call liz rosenburgs office or her management to find out i will bring a disoposable camera to be safe if possible i cant see why not people i just hope i can have someone switch with me so i can get the day off to go see and meet her im so excited about this wish she was doing this in boston too:blob2::blob1::wavey::nod::nod: yes mama nicks is in the house girl she will be signing thru midnight to 2am i think...lol i heard its usually only 2 hours signing i wonder if she will sign everyones that is waiting in line

[jwd]

Actually I'd like to hear "Crystal" more. It's got Stevie/ Lindsey duet written all over it. Stevie could pull that song off without a hitch. I HIGHLY doubt that if she did SOTM, it would resemble anything close to what we see on the Mirage video. At least not from a Stevie vocal or peformance standpoint. The boys could still rock the shit out of that song though.

Now see if she is signing stuff like this, why did we only get offered a "handful" of signed lithographs with our online order for this CD/DVD?

Like a code to put in for ordering or something. ahhhh, just thinking out loud I guess....

I like the idea that she's doing this, because you actually get to meet her and her signature would be more personal to you. Quite a "noble" thing she's doing... GET IT? NOBLE???? :laugh:

[StandbackStevie]

wondering if there is alot of people im sure and we all know there will be alot and alot of people waiting in line im wondering if its not even personal she just might sign her name and move on to the next person cause then you she will have to ask people how to spell that it might take to long maybe she has a few signed up a head of time makes sense

LOL, yes noble. I know, but it does seem like this whole litho signature thing was just not handled right. Believe me if for some reason she came to Washington DC, I would be on the metro so fast from Virginia to get a sig.

With a limited amount of time and so many people though, I can see why they would want to keep the line moving as fast as possible so everyone hopefully has a chance to get a sig. Hope Stevie is prepared to get writers cramp, she may need a hand/wrist massage when this is all said and done.

Thanks so much for the information.. That's what I posted in wanting to find out as well.. I have a feeling my friend's will be "camping out" the night before.. from what they said.

[Glittermoondust]

Hmmm.... just did a mapquest from my house....... only 11 hours away!! LOL!! Okay so I am not going to be there but I hope everyone that can and does go has an awesome time!!! I'm so jealous! ;)

[wheart]

Hope Stevie is prepared to get writers cramp, she may need a hand/wrist massage when this is all said and done.

Well is she gets tired midway through, she can always sit back and have Karen sign them for her. I can just see it, Stevie chit chatting away, while directing everyone over to Karen, who is feverishly signing away. :p

[DameLindsey]

Thanks again for the info!

I am still trying to figure out what a good arrival time is! I'm just scared to get there too late. I left the store....its in Union Square and if you're not familiar with that, well there are a million food places, stores, etc in the area. Once you've been in line with the same people for a few hours you will feel comfortable to get up and take a break. People will hold your spot. And for that reason its best to go with friends if you can, but if that's not possible I'm sure people from this site will help you! It's gonna be nuts....

[whitewingdove73]

:o

I'm going to have to miss this one out anyway. I can't stand for more then 5 mins anyway and if I sit in the floor there's no way I will be able to get back up lol

It's okay. I'll be happy when my preorder's of her new releases are in my hands :angel:

Well is she gets tired midway through, she can always sit back and have Karen sign them for her. I can just see it, Stevie chit chatting away, while directing everyone over to Karen, who is feverishly signing away. :p

lol

I think this BN is going to be a bit of a disaster.....I don't know. I hope I'm wrong. I can see the crowds of people being rushed to hurry up not even being able to say more then 5 words to Stevie. Most likely she will only sign the DVD or CD not any other item. I would be more happier if she had an official myspace talking to fans or a great official site where she speaks to fans bi weekly. Sorta like what Jane Fonda does (janefonda.com) :P

[fleetwoodtrick]

You god damn East coasters, stealing all the Mac appearances... *grumble grumble* :]

[whitewingdove73]

I don't know why she doesn't sign in California and Chicago too. Maybe the tour and all.

[cactusjack]

wasn't there an implication this was just the FIRST of a few signing sessions? :shrug:

[HejiraNYC]

I don't know why she doesn't sign in California and Chicago too. Maybe the tour and all.

I think it's rather odd that she would still be on the East Coast on this date- the tour doesn't resume in Philly until April 15, so you would think she would be back home in LA for those three weeks after Canada. Plus it's not like she's scheduled to appear on any of the talk shows (yet?). I would imagine that she has to hit at least one or two of the morning shows and/or Letterman or Jimmy Fallon, etc. :shrug: I mean, isn't that the purpose of this little tour break- that Stevie can go and promote the mess out of the CD/DVD?

one would think. I originally thought the timing of the Soundstage release and the FM tour was a good marketing strategy and I still do but I almost wish she wasn't on tour so she could do a full on promotional schedule. It is a big deal since her last solo show was Red Rocks, 23 years ago and being that she's so proud of it, I imagine she would want to promote it as much as possible. I do hope she will squeeze in a few appearances during the break.

I'm sure she has some TV appearances lined up, but we probably won't hear about them until the week of the release.

Stevie loves New York City--the hotels, the shopping, the sights. Maybe she'll take in a Broadway play while she's hubbing. Hopefully she'll have an opportunity to write.

[HejiraNYC]

Hopefully she'll have an opportunity to write.

Speaking of which, wouldn't it have been awesome if FM did something, anything spontaneous on this tour, like performing "Empire State" at MSG? I'm sure Lindsey could have just done it acoustically- instead of "Big Love." Heck, I'd even be thrilled with "Illume." :eek:

[darla]

I think Stevie is trying a new way to promote. Maybe someone is reading
the post and hey meeting the fans and signing the cd's isn't this what the fans
have been wanting. But I think after a couple of hundred people, Stevie
will be signing fast. So for the first 100 they will get Stevie's attention...
And good luck to all. If I was going I wouldn't get there until 6 pm and that
is way to late....

Good luck to all

Actually, I have been thinking "Illume" is the one song that would really raise this whole tour to a new level. It would catalyze the entire set.

If it's not the B&N people it will be KAREN!:eek:
Seriously...someone should plan to distract Karen at all cost! She will be telling Stevie it's time to go after the first signature!

Karen will be right smack dab next to her, she watches every move....

I could distract Karen by asking her to sign my copy of Destiny Rules.

Just an FYI - I called Barnes and Noble this afternoon and they said there won't be wristbands or anything. Its a first come first serve basis. They open at 10am, but the clerk I spoke to said "People might line up before then." I was thinking, oh you have no idea!

[goldustsongbird]

OMG:laugh::laugh::laugh: I prob. just woke up everyone else in the house laughing at this! (after quietly laughing at ur last 3 posts!):thumbsup:

Whoops. Sorry. Just tell them I'm a Canadian, they'll understand. :laugh:

Oh hey, Karen.

[michelej1]

I could distract Karen by asking her to sign my copy of Destiny Rules.

You could say things like, "Wasn't Lindsey making you so mad in that one scene? When he called Tony and said 'people are pointing fingers at us,' didn't you just want to smack him? He knows you are dead honest, but he was still being all crazy . . ."

Then, she'd get all into the conversation and forget about Stevie. You could just pick her up and carry her off while Karen's back is turned.

Called a rep at B&N and one of the things she said was that there would be NO pictures! :(

That really stinks if they aren't gonna let us take pics.

that is stupid! i would take your camera and take a bunch of pics at least when you are waiting in line or something. maybe you can make friends with the person in front of you and have them stand off to the side and take your pic as your are getting her autograph. at that point you will be leaving the store so what are they gonna do, chase you down, HA!!

I thought of that - I mean they wouldn't be that lame as to yell at us if we are taking pics while in line, right? :shrug:

A pic isn't much to ask for.... somebody else wanna call and ask about pictures? I really want the lady I spoke to - to be wrong. :distress:

[DameLindsey]

When I saw Tori Amos personal pictures weren't allowed, but I took tons while waiting in line, etc. Not to defend them, but if tons and tons of people show up and everyone wanted a picture with her they run the risk of not getting autographs for everybody. I like the idea of the person behind you in line taking pictures of you while you're getting your autograph.

[whitewingdove73]

I guess bringing items that aren't the CD or DVD to sign is off limits too.

[iamnotafraid]

Good idea!

[kak125]

Good idea!

thanks! for some reason i was laying in bed last night thinking about the signing and how i could get a picture with stevie if they didnt allow it. that was all i could come up with. you can tell that i have lots of time on my hands. i am looking forward to start working again next week just so that i have something to do and yeah i need the money as well, LOL!

if stevie were doing this signing any other day before the 1st i would so be there. i hope you all get to talk to her for a bit. i think that would be so amazing. i wouldnt even know what to say. i would probably just say thanks and move on, HA!

i would love just to be a fly on the wall there and see how she interacts with the fans and stuff.

[TrueFaith77]

Yep. It was off-limits at the Mick signing too. :mad:

Exactly. They can only do so much in that specific amount of time.

[dga82]

After my Mick signing experience (http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=39268), I'll probably skip this. But look forward to stories from anybody who does get to go.

Did the B&N people let you take pictures with Mick?

[WildHeart69]

my girlfriend and I are taking the train in to Philly and put our names in for Letterman tickets (I doubt we will get them...)


As far as "NO PICTURES" I think they mean no POSED pics with Stevie... we went to an Ina Garten book signing and they said no pictures, but we could take them while we were in line (on of the people working there actually offered to take our camera and took pics of us while we were at the table, but they didnt turn out too well...)

I am probably making a mistake by not planning to get there til 5...but I will see what happens... I will most likely get there a lot earlier... our train gets in at 11AM

[ontheEdgeof17]

Fugggg....


......I work but am so calling off for this shit. :thumbsup:

How do they do this? Do we buy the CD/DVD in line?

[StandbackStevie]

i called B&N and asked how long would she be doing the signing for and he said its up to her how long she wants to do it which is cool im sure after 2 or 3 hours she will cut signing and meeting but who knows she might stay thru the end they said no camera's im bringing a disposable camera with me just in case i will getting there late not sure if will see her but it will be cool to say i was standing in line waiting to see Mama Nicks in the flesh baby it will be awesome i would ask her if she needs help at home or looking for a waterboy or something...lol:wavey::thumbsup::angel:

i totally agree with you, i just find her so fascinating that she could sit there and say nothing and somehow i would still be amazed, lol! if you do end up staying for a while you should bust out a digital camera and take some video of it.

[Ghost_Tracker]

Little post for anyone who might be going to "the big city" for the first time and might be feeling nervous about it -

I'd like to suggest picking an easy-to-find place to meet in case someone gets separated. Maybe I'm stating the obvious there - but it really is "the big city" and it might be "a smart thing to do," as the saying goes. And it really is easy to get separated, especially when you're sightseeing - it literally happens every day there.
But really, it's nice these days - it's a lot "cleaner" than it used to be. Just remember that it's the big city. And watch for traffic, too - especially crossing the street - there can be a "Walk" sign and you can still have taxicabs speeding through a right turn. That actually (i.m.o.) is the most dangerous part of the traffic in Manhattan - people see the "Walk" sign and start crossing, not realizing there's still traffic making a right turn.

But anyway, here's wishing you guys a FUN DAY!!! :p :]

P.S. - It's REALLY easy to get re-located if you get lost, in Manhattan. ALL the North-South streets are easy to get to using the East-West ones. Just know whether you're south of Central Park or not - the Southern boundary of Central Park is at about 60th Street. The numbers increase going from South to North.
So if you're below the number 60, just head in the direction that the numbers start increasing as you're walking. That'll get you to Central Park, and you can get re-situated from there. The best landmark to use might be the Empire State Building; that's about 25 blocks south of Central Park (on or near the corner of 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, I believe.)

Be careful with the subways, they usually or always have the same numbers going south and north, but they're separate trains on separate tracks or even separate platforms. Crime-wise they're pretty safe these days though; just crowded. :nod:

[1sttimelongtime]

Ghost Tracker or any other city savvy person - can you tell me the best way to get from Grand Central to the area of the book signing? How long a walk is it? Subways?

Take the Green Line to 14th street/Union Square. The Green Line is the 4, 5, or 6. They all stop there.

What he said... but the 4 and 5 are express trains, so they will go to Union Square in one stop. Also, B&N is at the north end of the park, so in the subway look for the exit signs for 17th St.

Hi Everyone, what time are you thinking of getting on line? this is my first book signing with a major celebrity and as an older lady, the whole line thing will be the pita (pain in the a**). so any time advice would be helpful...

[SisterOfTheMoon21]

OMG! I wish I had known! I've totally planned my weekend wrong. I'm visiting NY for the first time ever because my friend is there for a few months for work. I'm supposed to be leaving on Sunday though. :( May have to call in for the next couple of days... :)

I hope she comes back to Chicago to do a signing! I would think maybe she would since it was filmed in Chicago... SO jealous of the East Coast right now!

As far as cameras, almost everyone has a camera on their cell phones these days, so I wouldn't think they would be able to stop anyone from taking pictures while in line. I could be wrong, because I've never been to a signing like this before, but someone mentioned it probably meant no posed pictures which seems like it might be more likely.

Have fun everyone!!

wow cant believe she's doing a signing!!! I am really tempted to come up from Philly. I have taken the train to NYC a few times by myself which I dont mind, I'm just worried about coming back late at night. If I miss the last train I'll be stuck.
Is anyone else in the area interested in going and would like to drive up together? I have a car.

I'd imagine there will be so many people there may a cutoff...what time is everyone planning on getting in line?

[Musicman408]

Oh man, this is some exciting news!!

If I'm not mistaking, I've been to that BandN (when my choir sang at Carnegie).

I would love for this woman to do a small book tour, as I'd probably travel to see her, but there is no way I can go to this one.:distress:

We already bought our bus and train tickets... we are coming in via Greyhound at 9am(hoping to get in line before 9:30...(they open at 10am) There was talk of doing shifts for standing in line in the Roll Call thread, but nobody seems to be responding anymore... we got Letterman tixs thinking that we could do an early shift and have someone else wait for us from 2:30 to 5:30... but, again, nobody is replying to the thread anymore....

we are leaving via Amtrak at 11:15pm

So I just got home from NYC. A poorly planned trip as I didn't realize the one and only Miss Nicks would be doing a signing tomorrow. On my way to the airport, the cab was playing a video advertising she would be at B&N doing the signing and the cab driver was being a total chatterbox and I was like "You're going to need to pause... Stevie's on right now and I since I can't go to the signing, watching an advertisement for the signing while I'm actually in NY is about as close as I'm going to get."

Hope those of you going have so much fun! Can't wait to hear stories! :)
