This time, can someone please ask if they're coming to the Americas? Pretty please?

Bort. I'm just going on a hunch here, but would I be right in thinking you'd be quite keen for Pulp to play some live dates in America?

So today I made a diversion to Rough Trade East after work to pick up the book and wristband.
On my way back home on the tube I look up and at the other end of the carriage was the unmistakeable figure of Jarvis himself. Given that the only reason I was in that part of London was to get the wristband and hence opportunity to meet Jarvis, I am slightly freaked out by the coincidence. To top it off I was listening to his solo album at the time.
Weird.

Yay! I have my book and my wristband now. So I will be going for sure. If you did happen to go again, I'm sure I would out-shame you, so don't worry about it.  My previous encounter with Jarvis involved leaping upon him (metaphorically) from some park bushes (almost - it was in a park, and up until the point of his arrival I was sat on some grass near some bushes).

Unfortunately the carriage was pretty rammed, I was due to get off at the next stop and he was talking to someone else, so i just gawped in open mouth amazement until I got off.

(hoping I wont be recognised as the weird staring man at the signing) biggrin

I'm looking forward to going to this; however, my boyfriend is planning on going with me. Do you all think he needs to buy a book as well or will they let him in? He's not nearly the Jarvis fan that I am, but I hate making him wait outside, especially since he's agreed to go down with me on the day (we're coming from Birmingham).

Also, for those who've gone before to these events, any idea how long they typically last? I'm trying to determine if I need to book a hotel for the night while he goes back to Brum (he has to go back to work)...

Ta very much in advance!

i reckon it'll be a couple of hours? but of course rough trade will be able to let you know
there are lots of nice bars that he can wait in,
i can recommend the pride of spitalfields just round the corner, or if he's into that kind of stuff the big chill is right next door

Has anyone who has ordered their book not got it yet? I ordered 2 copies late last week and requested first class signed for but so far I haven't gotten any email from rough trade saying its been shipped so I'm a bit worried.

mine didn't say it had been shipped, it just turned up a few days after I ordered it. So long as you got the confirmation of order email I wouldn't worry - it'll probably arrive soon

It might be worth giving them a ring to see if it's been dispatched. Only saying that because I ordered mine last week too, and chose the cheapest posted option and it arrived just 2 days later. Maybe it's taking longer because it needs to be signed for?

Do we REALLY have to buy another copy of the book via Rough Trade just to get access to this? Bit annoying.

 It varies from song to song and the notes are at the end of the book. Some are 'Milk Tray was a popular brand of English chocolate' kind of things but some are much more detailed. The Wickerman entry, for example, contains jarvis entire World Of Interiors piece that inspired the song. You also get a very nice introduction from the man himself about how he writes songs. In my opinion it's one of the better music/lyric books. Plus it looks gorgeous, all orange and brown. I have to say though, if I was going to the Rough Trade event I'd be really pee'd off at having to buy another book!

 I think he'll be taking that book signing to Paris this 14th. Roughtrade temporary Parisian store. Not yet confirmed. If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance. I don't even know if this piece of info is helpful to you, Tiram. Sorry.

The presentation was entertaining. Jarvis treated to some readings of lyrics from the book which included (off the top of my head) Wickerman, Sorted for E's and Whizz, Inside Susan, David's Last Summer, Space and for the 'encore' Cunts. These were accompanied by a slide show (Jarvis joked about hoping it not being too much like going found your grandparent's).

As for my turn to get my book signed, which happened seconds after that photo above of Jazza was taken, the less said the better. One of my worst examples ever of engaging mouth before brain - *hangs head in shame*!

Basically First he introduced when and why the band was made and showed a few photos on a powerpoint presentation. He then read and commenting on Wickerman, Acrylic Afternoons, Modern Marriage, Darren s Dream, Sorted for Es and Wizz and Space (I think that was it) and had some relevant photos and images projected behind him (He doesn't seem to have much luck with technology - this time the remote for changing slides was broken so he had to move to the other side of the stage by his laptop). After that he signed peoples books . Quite a few people so he didn't have time to say much and in any case I was too gob-smacked to say much, but at least I didn't make a complete idiot of myself which is the best I could have hoped for (forgot to thank him for the summer concerts though!). Got my book and set list from the 31st signed ('Be of good cheer' & [arrow to the songs] 'It all happened') and he commented that it was in good condition.

Here are some photos I took:
