Dark Tower Walking tour NY

[Machine's Way]

My understanding was that staff at the publisher signed the copies that weren't done by "Beryl Evans" at SD ComicCon.

Robin is one of the nicest people I know and we've become personal friends as well as business associates. Steve has joked that Robin knows more about The Dark Tower than he does!

So, some random person signed my book, cool. lol. They do have a very nice fake signature tho.

And I can totally believe that Robin might at this point know more than Stephen the way she way just going on and on without any reference to points in the book, places and characters. But I mean it is her job so, guess its expected. She told a few funny stories about how she had to remind Stephen that he killed a character off a while back when he was writing them in to a new part of the story, and how one time Stephen just randomly send an email asking her "Whats in Jake's Backpack?"

I can certainly see after only spending a few hours with Robin that her energy and pleasant demeanor can be contagious. It was a really smart choice to have her do the tour, if it was just some movie rep. it would of sucked. She was by far the best part of the whole thing.

I am also curious if any of the other 18 people are members on this message board. I guess I could of ask, but I didn't.

And at least four of the people there had won something much bigger it seemed. They had a full printed itinerary and looked as tho they where attending the movie premier as well? All four foreign, two Germans and the other two I didn't get to find out where they were from.

Thanks for sharing your journey! I was really hoping that since Matthew was in NYC making the rounds of TV shows that you would at least get to meet him. He did GMA and then immediately was on Kelly And Ryan.

I was really Hoping as well, and to be honest that was who I wanted to meet the most. They said this was the only tour and contest they did like this, so thought with only 19 people they might of been able to swing something like that. But no such luck. Not to sound greedy or ungrateful, because I am not, but they didn't even throw in free movie passes, lol.

So the walking tour begins and we are encouraged to add the "Snapchat" app to our phone and see the "Portals" to the other worlds on our stops.
Well I have to say, that part was pretty cheesy. Not a fan of snapchat and the filters or whatever that were special was just kinda silly. I deleted the app right after the tour.

I'm actually kinda curious about these, as I go to NYC quite a bit...do you know if the portals will still be there in the future?

They said this weekend that just passed and the next. I don't know about during the week. I mean I would assume so, but you know what they say about assuming. But they definitely said next weekend as well.
