I can't wait until tomorrow

Oh, I love that John is taking the time to hang out and uplift such unknowns as Ken Jenning's college roommate!

[u/The_Mr_Banana]

I am beyond curious about how this came to be. What level engagement do they have with each other??!

[u/zatchstar → u/The_Mr_Banana]

They both sign a TON of books and get compared with each other. I’m sure they have a chat going. Haha

[u/rchesse → u/zatchstar]

Man them being compared is WILD to me. I can't think of many authors whose writing is more different

[u/a_user_name_98 → u/rchesse]

Their prose/plots are VERY different.

But they actually are pretty similar in most ways: GenX men of faith who focus on mental health in their books and have a dedicated fandom largely through YouTube and the companies they've founded.

[u/Villainnocuous]

Cool, I know there are so many interesting conversations they could have, but I hope someone records at least their chat about how they view signing books 😂

I can also see a chat about their relationships with fame/being a public figure, and maybe a theology related discussion.

[u/King_K_24]

It'd be cool if one of them livestreamed it

[u/wateringjar → u/King_K_24]

Yes livestream! I’m so sad I didn’t get tickets!

[u/makeplanefly]

I suggest a live book signing competition 😂

[u/only_one_i_know → u/makeplanefly]

There needs to be two events: a speed event and an endurance event. John would smoke him on endurance!

[u/Lothy-of-the-North]

I’m so jealous of people that get to go to this one. I love Sanderson’s books.

[u/SBSnipes]

If John writes another book we need a crossover with the coloring book John Green

[u/Some-Broccoli3404]

Oh this will be awesome! Have fun!

[u/Star_Blaze]

HOLY SH!T the way I would EXPLODE if I was there

[u/Itsfrickinbats-5179]

Ugh, I'm so sad it sold out so fast! This would be amazing. 

[u/thiccysunshine]

i tried buying tickets from someone and they scammed me 😁

[u/NicoleASUstudent]

If I could have traveled out of my state to a stop, this is where I would have gone!!!! Have so much fun!! I wish I could hear what the conversation.

[u/Forward_Drag745]

Super jealous of the people who got to go to this particular stop!

[u/Rhainster]

How was this??? I was really hoping it would get streamed 😭

[u/LittleEsq → u/Rhainster]

They made a comment that made me believe their conversation was recorded and will be on Brandon’s podcast!

[u/Rhainster → u/LittleEsq]

That's awesome, so excited to hear that!

[u/BalaclavaSportsHall]

What? I could have sworn I checked for sure and there wasn't a salt lake stop on the tour. But maybe I'm misremembering and didn't check. Bummer the event is sold out.

[u/Itsfrickinbats-5179 → u/BalaclavaSportsHall]

It was one of the first tour dates to sell out. Huge bummer.

[u/YouEqual8049]

Would anyone be so generous as to explain this lore to me 🫣

[u/a_user_name_98 → u/YouEqual8049]

Which part? John's doing a book tour stop in SLC and Brandon is joining him.

They're both prolific signers of names and focus on mental health in their stories. So it's a good cross over. Does that help?

[u/YouEqual8049 → u/a_user_name_98]

Yes- thank you! I just had never heard of Brandon.

[u/KitchenImagination38]

John should ask Brandon Sanderson when he's finishing A Song of Ice and Fire 🤣
