blueschica Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Geddy announced on Instagram this morning that BBBB DID go into a second printing, which is available now. Someone asked if there would be any UK signing events and he said yep! :ebert: No other mention of other signings anywhere, I guess we can keep our fingers crossed.

Catch The Mystery Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Got my copy from amazon (uk) today! Ordered it on 12/31, but boy was it worth the wait :D Now that the book is available again I'm hoping Ged will announce his UK book tour dates any day now... Am keeping a close eye on his IG feed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hoping he does another east coast one at some point. Geddy is usually very accurate on his Instagram account, and that's where he mentioned some signings in the UK and "yes" to one in Chicago. :ebert: Time to visit my cousins in Naperville!

I told him I was at the Grapes Under Pressure, he said "oh, right, thanks for showing up!". But it was way too quick. He wasn't allowed to sign my Permanent Waves CD... :( It's like the 'meet and greets', which are 30 seconds long. The book signing is probably 5 seconds long. Whereas if you attend an event like 'Grapes Under Pressure' where you shell out a huge amount of money, then you have time to talk with your musical heroes more. It's all about 'money' or 'time' and/or both combined isn't it? Edited April 30, 2019 by RushFanForever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Here's something to take note of in Geddy's book tour itinerary. It doesn't appear that Geddy will be gathering with a group of people doing a 'book signing event' on the 24th of May unless it's perhaps visiting Ben Mink and his family in Vancouver. I just had to throw a reference in to 'Lakeside Park' for the above. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, I had the ultimate good fortune to be invited to a similar cocktail party type aftershow party, and it was free. But it also was around the 20th anniversary of the first US tour, they were in NYC for two nights, and Atlantic Records was based there and threw the parties. Also it was long before other bands started selling meet and greet and vip packages and tiers of ticket pricing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 When are Neil's book signings? Neil doesn't like his fans. He doesn't like his fans taking photos of him. He especially doesn't like meeting his fans. It makes him very uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Seeker Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The Rush.com listing still shows 'Coming soon' for the Montreal event (June 4), but if you go to this site, you can get tix now, and there is an 'early bird' special that includes an extra ticket for the event (so 2 tickets, one book). Figured I'd give a heads up so Rush fans could get tix who may be relying on the first link. http://theatrerialto.ca/en/event/drawn-quarterly-presents-geddy-lee-presentation-signing/?instance_id=545 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rftag Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Are we supposed to buy this twice too? I didn't even buy it when it was new. I can wait for it to appear on Google "Good Books", and even then I'm not sure I'd be compelled to read it. This "Buy this again!" thing is getting annoying. I have no interest in buying anniversary additions of albums. If someone gives one to me for free, I might listen to it.
