John Green: Author of Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines and Looking for Alaska
An Abundance of Katherines Looking for Alaska Paper Towns anagrams famous last words Bio and Contact

Spring Lake, Michigan and Chicago, IL

Soon there will be, like, an events page on this web site. And it will include many, many events--because I'm going to be in like 30 cities this fall. (And Germany! And possibly Sweden!)

But in lieu of a proper events page, let me just briefly tell you about two things happening soon in case you live nearby and want to go:

1. This Monday, I will be at the Spring Lake Library in Spring Lake, Michigan from 2 to 3:30. It will be awesome. The address: 123E. Exchange Street in Spring Lake, MI.

2. On 8 / 8 /08, there will be a huge and amazing and wonderful nerdfighting gathering at the Harold Washington Public Library at 2 PM. This coincides with Terminus, the Harry Potter conference, so nerdfighters from all over the country will be there. I will talk and read and hopefully find clever ways to decrease worldsuck. Then we will decamp to Grant Park and listen to some songs about "Looking for Alaska" and some wizard rock.

And then, at 8:08 PM, I'll be at The Bean in Millennium Park, because Amy Krouse Rosenthal is doing something awesome. I hope you'll be a part of some or possibly all of the awesome.

Sorry, I know that this comment will seem horribly random, but are you aware that the Audio CD of Paper Towns is going to sell for $92.25?

Hi John,

Are you planning any trips to Durham or Chapel Hill, NC in the future?

We have wonderful libraries here...

Hey, I'm going to Terminus! Maybe I'll see you there--cool!

Oh wow, I am so excited that you will be having an event on the 8th! I will definitely be at the thing in Grant Park but now I have to decide which I want to go to more...my Terminus programming or a Nerdfighter meet up!

In response to that first comment...

What do you have against Arizona anyway? Except... you know... being really far away from it... but if you can get to Germany you can certainly get to Phoenix (Or Flagstaff, if you'd prefer Northern AZ)!

Heyyyy John, just wondering if you'll be anywhere in Alabama? Cuz I know that there's lots of people in Huntsville who would love to come and see you. :)

Awesome, I wish I lived up north (basically anywhere but South Florida really :( ) so I could go meet you and all the other amazing nerdfighters including many I've made friends with online :)

Oh gosh, it would be really super-mega-awesome if you came to sweden! I'd totally be there and I know lots of other people that would come too!

I'm so ridiculously excited, John! But I told my friend Holly that you were coming to Chicago and she colourfully swore at me and then made me promise that we would still go to Germany if it didn't clash with University interviews! So we might see you there too :D

Hey! Come to Sweden! It would be awesome. Like the two other people that have commented about you coming to Sweden.

I believe there will be plenty of people that would like to see you here.

Please! Make my year!

Sweden! That would be totally super-awesome. :D

If I may put in my vote, Minnesota is a very nice place to visit. Especially close to the cities.

Please come to sweden! It will be awesome!

I will see you in Spring Lake with the majority of MichiganFTW. :D

you know John, I think you want to come to Toronto. In fact, I know you do. Why? Because you want to experience the pure awesomeness that is Canada.
... Pretty please?

I have a feeling that all of the comments left in favor of Sweden, were left by one person. That's just me though. I e-mailed you recently about an even in Dallas. You said you may be here in November. Can't wait to see you man!!

I have a question (perhaps for Question Tuesday?):

What would you recommend I should do when I have plottet this great (in my opinion) story, but can´t find the motivation to write it?

No, junior, I promise you they're not :)

And here's another person who would love it if you came to Sweden John!

Oh, I so wish I could be at the Nerdfighting event and Terminus! I'm in Chicago right now visiting my grandparents, but I'm leaving on Sunday and wouldn't be able to go to Terminus anyway because I have school starting on the 11th (trust me, I've been mad all summer!).

Why, o why Germany and Sweden and not Spain? The food! The weather! The amazing publishing industry! Barcelona is definitely the place! We promise to take you out for lunch if you do come!
