Be A Part Of That Book Tour Business

Hey, it's everybody's favorite time of the day: Sifting out more info about the release of the book!. Don't worry; we're not going too far over the top. We're actually looking for help from you this time. We're gonna organize the book tour.

As anyone who has ever attended one of our Pants Parties meetups before, these events can get drunken and out of control, quite easily. We see no reason the book tour should be any different. In fact, we're hoping each of the stops among the book tour becomes its own pants party. Therefore, we're looking for a local at each tour stop to help organize ... well, help organize the afterparty. Because there has to be an afterparty, right? What's the point otherwise? We will be very nice to this person, and not only will they get a free book, we will massage their temples, so as to release tension.

So. Here's the whole book tour schedule, along with whether or not we're looking for someone to take the proverbial bull by its proverbial horns.

This one's right in the middle of Super Bowl week, at an incredibly outstanding bookstore, so the whole week is an afterparty. So we're covered here.

This is actually the big Super Tuesday — or "Tsunami Tuesday," as some people are calling it, for some reason — so we're looking for someone to find a bar that will show election results afterwards. Email us if you want to take charge.

Wednesday, February 06, 2008 07:30 PM BOOKS INC 1344 Park ST Alameda, CA 94501

Yes. We're vaguely aware that having a reading in Alamada on a San Francisco stop is kind of like having an NYC reading in Bayonne, N.J. Regardless. If you organize something here, you can meet our sister. Email us if you want to take charge.

Friday, February 08, 2008 07:00 PM UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE 4326 University Way, NE Seattle, WA 98105
