Funny Ha Ha
If you live in or near Chicago and are 21 years of age or older, you should strongly consider coming to The Hideout TOMORROW, which is Tuesday August 1st, to see Funny Ha Ha, Claire Zulkey's fantastic reading series. I will be reading. The show starts at seven. It's at the Hideout. (I think I am going to read the oft-maligned blow job scene from Alaska, but I am still undecided.)
And now, your questions answered:
Q. Will there be copies of Alaska for sale at this event?
A. Yes, thanks to the fabulous Book Cellar.
Q. Is this event free?
A. There's a five dollar suggested donation. It goes to support some kind of charity. I mean, a good charity.
Q. Are there bad charities?
A. Well, I don't like to talk politics in this blog, but yes.
Q. Will you sign my copy of Looking for Alaska at this event?
A. Yes. My rule is that I will sign anything anywhere for anyone, except bare skin. I used to say that I would happily sign bare skin, but A. I am a married man, and B. no one ever wanted me to sign their bare skin, and it got kind of depressing.

I'm on my way to chicago. In three hours. by train.
really.
but I won't be there till wednesday. you there on wednesday?
call my cell.
I think that I would want you to sign my copy of Looking For Alaska too.
Because I admire you that much.
And because you have no real idea of who I am.
But ya know, you do what you can.
Man, I would totally let you sign my bare skin if I had met you and if you were not a married man.
Kind of like the pity blow, I would give you a pity sign.
But yes, following the statements previous, would you sign my copy of looking for alaska if i sent it to you and enclosed money for return shipping?
Or would you just steal your own book which I saved up for for a month and my money while i sit here alone and sob with my Alaska?
Oh hey, I know this does no pertain at all to this topic, but just for you FAQ, are you thinking of a Looking for Alaska sequal?
Now I'm off, toodles.
lol, in your pre-nerdfighter days you were just as funny John:
"no one ever wanted me to sign their bare skin, and it got kind of depressing"
