I travelled from Buenos Aires to Boston last Wednesday. The flight was AWFUL: a lightning hit one wing, we had huge turbulence and at one stage we had a huge fall that lasted for 3 seconds that made a lot of things fall (including all the food stuff), my courage included. We lost our connection in Newark due to the huge mess the airport had and it resulted in 4 hours less in Boston of the 28 planned. My returning flight got hugely delayed in the airport due to a major storm, which lead to 4 hours waiting with the plane in the airport and 2 waiting for the luggage.
And I had THE BEST OF TIMES! It was an amazing and dreamt experience! I had a wonderful time meeting several new SK fans and several ones I've known for years. And once again I had the unique chance of watching and hearing Stephen King live. I saw both King and Hill from front row, heard 'em for an hour including both READING stuff from the other (something I deeply wished for). I returned with a signed copy of The Institute, Full Throttle: Stories. And I was (finally) able to have a selfie close to Stephen King (first time I have a decent picture). I had my Spanish copy of IT just in case I had the chance of giving it to him to sign but it was not possible.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible, specially Stephen King and Joe Hill. It was INCREDIBLE.

Awesome! I'm incredibly jealous.
I'd never get on a plane again if that happened to me.

Great story! Other than the bad airplane ride stuff. But, you know what I mean!

Great comment - I felt very lucky to have attended the book event in Toronto back in 2017 when he did one with Owen - it was quite an adventure for me, even without any signed book!
(Got to meet Srbo too and the lovely and talented Marsha)
So glad you could attend the event. Oh such a scary journey- could be a story in Flight or Fright!!
Huh. This sounds like good material for a certain anthology!
I told that to my friend who travelled with me! By far, I've never been so scared on a plane.
Imagine how good the event was for me that I think of that as a good price to pay.
Awesome! Not sure I would ever board a plane. I like my feet on the ground.
Oh do it Bev! Do it, do it, do it, doitdoitdoitdoitdoittttt!!!!

Absolutely loved the event video! There's an amazing quote that I wrote down to share. Need to find it first.

Come on, can you blame him? I think he needed his morning coffee! Or maybe somethign a bit stronger!
Yeah, like a valium and a vodka.
Whta gets me is that the dude made an account and in order to psyche himself up and go mental about not goint to a writing event!
