March 19th: Exploring in the Ruins
Half of this year's Printz Honorees*, with the help of a brilliant tour guide, break into unoccupied buildings in downtown Detroit**.
*Well, which is to say M. T. Anderson and me. **Note: This movie is rated PG-13 for criminality, language, and middle fingers.
I was at the Kalamazoo conference where you spoke, incidentally I was the person who asked you the last question of the day about...well nevermind, and even though I'm disappointed that our greeting to Hank was trumped by Tobin Anderson's, I do have to say that I'm really glad I got to see you live out Tobin's story from the conference and also glad that the story was true and glad that he wasn't just full of shit. You never know with story tellers. Just wanted to say that my librarian and I very much enjoyed hearing you speak, and we'll continue doing our best to get your books in the hands of kids. Thanks! -Elisha
Hmmmm...do you think it is true that you have to be a teen at heart to write books for teens? This escapade would certainly provide strong evidence for that supposition.

ReplyDeleteAre you only posting your videos? You didn't post Hank's video on Friday.
ReplyDeletePaige,
ReplyDeleteThe only reliable place to see the videos is brotherhood2.com, which is really the home base of the project at this point.
