vonbarracuda

Just announced on his website, Easons O Connell Street 14th December 12-2pm!
Going to set up a tent now

I'll be there!!

vonbarracuda

He's done for 2 hours I'd imagine there will be crazy interest in this

Do you think Easons would get him to sign a copy for someone (Me!!) without them being there ?

I wouldn't be able to commute to Dublin for it

Rhys Essien

You can bet your bottom dollar that he will also be on the Late Late show.You could apply for tickets for that and meet him at RTE.

SHALL BE THERE TOO!

I asked the mother could we go up on the train.

Think I might be going now :P

Apparently he'll be in Ireland for a week in January as well...in case you can't make the December date.

Is this a ticketed event?

I don't think it is. Better not be or my three lads will be slightly annoyed. I might be too!

I was lucky enough to see Commander Hadfield live last night at this show. He did a live rendition of Space Oddity with a full band including Brian Cox on piano. Very cool! Afterwards there was a 20 minute Q&A with him and he is just so interesting. So much so I've bought his book.

So if you can make it to any book signing I'd highly recommend it.

No tickets needed. But I don't think photos are allowed to keep the Q moving

My mate will be behind me in Q to try snap a picture

Is anyone familiar with book signings in easons? Do you have to buy the book that morning to get it signed? I bought it today (in a different easons) but would like to get it signed, do you know if that'll be an issue?

Massive queue here now!

Ugh, was considering heading in and getting there in about 45 minutes, but my back won't manage a long stand. Not sure what to do now.

Staff have been putting post-its on everyones book with whatever name you want it signed to. That will streamline things so you'd have a chance of meeting him. Sore back would complicate things though.

Think I'm going to have to give it a miss As well as which, I'm getting two copies (one for niece and one for father), and unsure as to which I'd get signed anyway

Buy the book first.

I've driven up from d'country this morning for it and I'm just about there. Do I have any chance of buying a book and meeting him at this stage?

Given 30 seconds per person i think it might be looking bad for anyone joining the queue now.
