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

username123 · 25-10-2013 9:43pm

I'll be there!!

vonbarracuda · 25-10-2013 10:50pm

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

nanook5 · 26-10-2013 11:30am

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 · 27-10-2013 8:44pm

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.

Iancar29 · 27-10-2013 10:32pm

SHALL BE THERE TOO!

nanook5 · 27-10-2013 10:40pm

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

Think I might be going now :P

Caiseoipe19 · 28-10-2013 11:29pm

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?

vonbarracuda · 13-12-2013 8:57am

He's on the late late tonight too

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

Ah feck. Where'd you hear that?

vonbarracuda · 13-12-2013 8:42pm

One the staff in there told me they normally try move people along.
My mate will be behind me in Q to try snap a picture

And next weeks lotto numbers are ...:D

eskimocat · 13-12-2013 11:59pm

Chris is on the Late Late, right this minute...

jonnybadd · 14-12-2013 1:18am

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?

shedweller · 14-12-2013 11:06am

Massive queue here now!

Worse now! I feel for anyone arriving to queue now.

Thoie · 14-12-2013 12:07pm

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.

space2ground1 · 14-12-2013 12:28pm

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.
