Is it admission at the door or do you need to "reserve" in advance?

You can absolutely arrive and pay at the door - in fact, I don't think there is any reservation system. Arrive early and get a session in.

I called the number, and was advised to sign up on the list, and pay in advance which I did. $45.00 gets you in (non-member) plus a copy of the book...

Wow...Brad Gobright lived up to his name, very brightly.  Without meeting him, I always admired how kind and humble he was in his media.  I hope a recording of the Q&A will be made available freely, with book purchase or for fee.

Gonna read this in the bookstore so I don't have to pay for it.

The book has been well worth the price and has been a fun read

This was a wonderful event that featured a discussion with the audience and author Lucas Roman, John Long and publisher, Sequoia Schmidt. 

 

On a personal note, it was particularly enjoyable to see some old friends and to meet some new ones.
