Paper Towns Touring Updates

The brilliant Karen Kavett has created an extremely helpful map detailing the 31 stops (really? really.) on the Paper Towns / Nerdfighting Tour of 2008:

Click the map for more detail, such as the detail that the evil baby orphanage is apparently located in downstate Illinois. I really think this map covers it, but in case you want more details, you can now go to nerdfighters.com, scroll down a bit, and look on the left sidebar for facebook events pages. Please rsvp if you have a moment. (Note: none of these injokes make sense unless you watch the videos.)

UPDATE: Several people have expressed alarm (well, perhaps alarm is too strong a word) that the events are only listed on facebook, because many people do not have facebook accounts. And to the fearless unfacebooked, I say: DO NOT WORRY. You don't have to be a member to view the events pages; if you go to nerdfighters.com and click on the link to the city nearest you, the event details will pop up even if your face has not been booked. You won't be able to RSVP, but you don't need to RSVP to come to the events.

  5. That is amazing!

    The Evil Baby Orphanage appears to be somewhere near where I used to live! I'll have to go hunting for it the next time I'm up there visiting family.

    See you soon in Atlanta!

  6. Blarg! That map is a work of genius; but it is missing your highly anticipated November 6th date in glamourous Knoxville, TN.

    Please help spread the word and visualize us right between the "Baby Orphanage" and "Accio Deathly Hallows"!

  10. That map is so awesome, it took me five minutes to read and now I have a headache. But it was worth it. I can't go to the Tour, but that's really awesome.

  11. Speaking as a native Hoosier, I have to say that it looks to me like the Evil Baby Orphanage is actually located in Indiana. Because, really, what better place could there be for an Evil Baby Orphanage?

  12. What?! No Denver? It seems like authors are always bypassing Denver.

    Any insight into why this is?

    Oh, and good luck with the tour. Looks like fun.
