I was at the Longmont Library today and saw that Homer Hickman’s book Rocket Boys is the book for the “One Book, One Boulder County” program. They’re having a CU Rocket Day on April 12 and Homer Hickman is coming to CU the 17th and 18th of April. More info can be found at http://www.boulder.lib.co.us/onebookoneboulder/

ok, i can act as social director … 😀

there are several options here:
– apr 17, 6:30pm, dinner and book signing, $35
– apr 18, 7:00pm, lecture (no mention of book signing, but surely … ?!), free
– apr 19 (i assume, on the web site they list it as the 12th, but that doesn’t make sense), activities from 12:00 onward, no mention if homer will be there.

which do you guys want to do? i’m cheap so i’m leaning towards the apr 18th event – hopefully he will sign books after the talk. if you guys want to do the dinner i’d be game for that too. reply here or pm me and include your phone &/or email addr.

i’m going – hope some of you guys will join me!

I’m all in favor of being cheap, but I really would like a signed copy of the book. How can we confirm if he’ll sign at the other appearances?

The book signing time is probably the only time that a book could get signed.

I think you are right Art. I guess I’ll figure out some way to be there for that. Anyone else want to go the night of the signing?

i’ll go for the dinner/signing. what the hell, it’d be kind of cool to rub elbows with Homer.

I’ll also check to see if he’ll be signing books at the Friday night lecture.
