Ser Rutherford the Brave

Huh, I'd just assumed it was read at a con. If it was read at a televised event, then yeah - that would be a completely different beast.   I'm still trying to figure out the man's thinking in having allowed the second Tyrion chapter to be made readily available to readers in advance of the first. :) 

If that's the man's policy, then that's the man's policy and I have no problem with it. But, being as I'm a naturally curious fella, I'm wondering how/why the Victarion chapter (or portion therof) that, as far as I know, was also only presented orally has been transcribed and made available online to read without incident.

While I'm certainly appreciative of the detailed synopsis of the Ser Barristan II chapter that was provided back on the first page of this thread - I'm surprised that no one in attendance at the event at which Mr. Martin read that selection recorded the reading and subsequently transcribed it. I can only presume that there must've been a 'no recording' policy in effect at said event that was strictly enforced.     Can anyone confirm if this was indeed the case, and if that's also the reason why there isn't a transcription of the Tyrion I chapter anywhere to be found online.   That said, considering though how exclusive trailers that premiere at Comic-Con always seem to get covertly shot by someone with a smart phone in their possession, it strikes me as odd that no one would've been able to sneak an audio recording of those two orally-delivered aforementioned chapters.   Apologies if this issue has already been covered either in this thread or elsewhere.
