I just came back from the book signing. I got there at about 9:30AM. After purchasing the book, they gave you a wristband and directed you to the line. The wristbands ran out at about 9:45. People without a wristband were not allowed to wait on the line. Sting came out at about 11:45 and made a brief speech. The line moved rather quickly and they allowed two books per person. He was very gracious to all and shook everyone's hand. My coversation went like this: Me: Hello Sting Sting: Hello Me: I've been a big fan for over twenty years. It's a pleasure and honor to meet you. Sting: Aww...thanks very much. Me: One more Police album and I can die a happy man. Sting: What? Me: One more Police album and I can die a happy man: Sting: (Smiling) I'm not sure about that. Me: Thanks again, it was nice meeting you. Sting: Pleasure. I was out of there by 12:30. --- David Lucky <dlucky711@yahoo.com> wrote:
Did anyone go to the Sting Book signing in NYC today? I couldnt make it and was curious how long the line was.
The day the book came out there was some online advertising for the Sting book on the usatoday.com website. A banner ad for "broken music" by sting. I was surprised to see it. I dont think these kind of books often sell a whole lot. Sting's is different in that he wrote it but there are so many coming out all the time on celebrities that I bet it would be hard to stand out. I do have to say that when I went to Barnes and Nobles it was up at the front and on display prominently which I thought was interesting.
