Is it possible to go during the day and then do the meetup in the evening?
If I were in your boots, I'd go and be just another attendee. If you HAPPEN to run into him, be cool about it ... ask him if he's enjoying the show and whatnot. DON'T bring the book. Be casual. MAYBE, if he's being cool, see if you can get a photo. MAYBE.
Then, go to the meetup afterwards with your respect intact, but your fan cred rating soaring. You will have met the man, but not been uncool about it.
Good luck actually making a choice at the end of the day.
