    Mike's NYC event is likely at the Strand. You can preorder signed regular editions on their site now: http://www.strandbooks.com/pre-order-signed/of-potato-heads-and-polaroids-my-life-inside-and-out-of-pearl-jam

    Awesome. Grabbed a ticket to The Daily Show taping that day, hoping I don't have to skip one event to do the other.
    That is awesome, I've always wanted to go to one of them, but NYC is not for me :)
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Hi Everyone,

    I may not be fully understanding what everyone means about pre-order and having book for event so I apologize if my post is off the mark, but your comments caught my interest because I purchased the deluxe version from 10cc. Also, don't take my posting as 'officially' what is going to happen-but, I called the Strand. as I wanted to make sure I understood what this means on their site: 'SIGNED COPIES AVAILABLE 06/08 LOCATION: EVENT - SIGNED COPY, NO ADMISSION'. The person I spoke said typically what this means is that you to to get into the store for the signing, you have to purchase the book as admission or possibly a ticket. I thought that I would pass along in case it is helpful to others as i haven't been to a book signing like this before. In terms of pre-order from Strand, I am thinking it may be best to just buy onsite there.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    I don't know when it will ship or be delivered.
    I can't say as to which would be better.
    Thanks

    I plan on going to NYC for Mikes book promotion. Is it better if I pre-order the book or buy it the day of?

    Thanks for any info!

    Well it's April 25th and mine still says "WAITING".

    Anyone think that the book will be shipped and delivered to NYC in time for the June 7th event. If it isn't actually sent before May 30th I wonder if I would have it in time for the event or if they would have additional copies to purchase at said event.

    There's another event at The Strand from 7-8 pm on June 7. I hope that means the Mike McCready signing is earlier in the day. I have a ticket to see Iron Maiden and Ghost in Newark that night.
    You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

    I'm in the same position as you! I think I would choose Mike over Maiden though...sorry Bruce.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    I'm definitely going to the Mike book signing. If there is a conflict on June 7, I plan to sell my Newark Iron Maiden ticket and buy one to see the tour in Brooklyn in July.

    I feel like Mike would schedule his signing early because he's going to go see Maiden as well!

    That is a good point.  I hope you're right.

    Has anyone heard when the signing will be on June 7?  It is still not listed on the Strand website even though later signings are already listed in their upcoming events section.
