A Day on Tour
Just two events left! (Kansas City and St. Paul) I'll miss Hank and Katherine and my amazing readers, but I will not miss spending all day every day in a minivan.
I came to the event in Ann Arbor, but had to leave early because I had a show of my own to play. I gave Dan Miller two copies of my band's CDs to send along to you and Hank after the gthering was over. (I didn't want to interrupt the awesome Q&A that was going on.) I hope you received them and that you had a fine time in America's high five.
So, so excited to see you guys tonight in KC! Did Sarah ever wish she could have gone, too? She's going to have years of hearing, "Remember that time on the book tour road trip when..." That's gonna suck.
I just got through part one of Paper Towns, and I'd just like to say, "Thanks." I lived in Florida from birth to 3rd grade. I may not remember much, but I could remember the smell and the feel of the Florida night while I read your book. The way the Spanish moss smells so thick in the warmer nights. Publix is still the best grocery store, and my parents used to bank at SunTrust. Oh, and my best friend got your book for me, for my birthday. Thanks again!

P.S. Now you need to come to Joseph-Beth in Lexington, KY! We wear shoes, I promise!
"Awwww"? Really, John? That hug can't be genuine! You were still fighting over our books that very same night!! A pair of fakers, that's what the two of you are..
It was so much fun actually meeting you guys. And, I haven't taken Hank's CD out of my car yet.

Hope your last two stops are just as awesome as the rest of the stops were.

ReplyDeleteAhh, I miss you guys. Come back to Ann Arbor anytime! I'll try to make Margo shirts for all.
ReplyDeleteNovember 18th, last day of tour! I hope you can go home and take a long nap. And see the Yeti.
So close to the end. Congratulations on a fabulous book signing tour, and have fun going back to regular life. I hope we can do this again sometime.
