Deadspin
This God Save The Fan tour business has been so lengthy, and involved so much travel, that something that happened three days ago seems like months ago. Still: Even though we're in Chicago now, Friday's event in Seattle is still fresh in our minds. It was at a loud bar, and involved people receiving chicken tenders while we yammered. (See picture. Actually, see a bunch.)
It was a first book tour stop at a bar, and it was helpful, because it made us think more people were there for us than there really were. It's good for the soul. We are now, of course, more than 2,000 miles away. But Seattle was grand; we even did a couple of shots. Which are also good for the soul.
Anyway, thanks, Seattle. Next stop: Chicago!

Sing for him, John Kruk!!!
13 nos, but 1 yes. I'm a stickler for red heads.
I can't wait for the traveling Sausage Fest to hit up Boston. It should be man-tastic.
I can't believe Chainsaw for Summer School showed up!
Re: Guy right in middle of photo
@tater:
also women.
Will, you accidentally posted photos from an Obama rally.
The Zlatan Ibrahimovic impersonator on the couch isn't even remotely convincing.
Smells like sausage fest.
Theres alot less flanel shirts and starbucks stuff than i always pictured
Yeah... I look scary.
/guy in green jacket...no seriously, I'm 'that guy'
@Weed Against Speed: His name is Dean Cameron and I love him. Summer School, Rockula, Men at Work. Yes, I know I'm sad.
Three broads...At least it's nowhere the sausage fest that the Deadspin SB party photos portrayed.
Luis Guzman lives in Seattle?
@Lady Andrea: Sit down, Francis.
standing room only for 14 people
reminds me of the mad tv skit "lower expectations"
Why does everyone have that evil "I am going to kill you" laugh?
Those smiles are always deceiving.
Not pictured: Kenny Mayne, Mariner Moose, planned excursion to pay tribute to Cobain at Lake Washington
@Schluby: The Deadspin SB party had broads. Five of 'em. Oh it went off.
I can't wait to rock the Mattoon Waldenbooks. I wish they had beer.
Holy hell, the Georgetown stop is next Thursday! Good thing I just told my boss I'm taking off on Friday.
/shits pants
Later that night: Lt. Mauser knows the difference between beer and champagne and loses his eyebrows.
Will,
I felt your presence in Chicago. I am genuinely sorry I am missing this tonight. Good luck.
AHHH! The Bloodening!
"Oak Brook" wouldn't happen to be a nickname for that plot of land right across from the Hancock building on Michigan Ave, would it?
I finished the book this weekend while traveling to New Orleans. Great read, plus the sturdy hardcover was quite effective in beating off the homeless on Canal Street. Well done Will.
@bamassippi: You look hilarious. Like the guy not pictured is right about to tell the story about you two double-teaming a nun, and your wife is standing right next to you.
@StupidAngelos: I'll begin leafing through the 'Escorts' section of the Yellow Pages. We don't want to have the fate of the previous events.
I kid you not, the picture of PQ Crash actually crashed my browser. I blame what I presume was a neon green Seahawks hat?
Looks like a good time was had by all, I'm still pulling for an Ann Arbor/suburban Detroit stop, but you know, this is just me.
@Port City Gangsta: *fending off...VERY poor choice of words on my part
Martin Lawrence must have shown up later.
Patagonia's everywhere!
What do they call themselves?
The Aristocats!
@J-No: The Emo Force?
@preciousroy: No; I think it's in Iowa.
"Hey, Karen, hand me some of those roofie-chips. I gotta get something going here."
Girl in maroon velvet jacket: yes.
@Port City Gangsta:
Either way, you made a difference.
@Civil Negligence: As long as Mike Nifong hasn't relocated to DC, I see no problem with this plan.
I can't see which weapon PQ Crash has equipped in that picture.
@Tuffy: You got it!
Hey, I was wearing flannel. But I wasn't drinking coffee.
Speaking as the wearer of the Indiana sweatshirt I can say that this is the first time I have ever been virtually booed. And this after I wore it special!
The reading was pretty good but I was sorely disappointed by the lack of emo bangs. We were promised emo bangs! Thank goodness there was a Brooklyn black leather jacket.....If Will was not 4'7" (you look taller online) he would not have had to look right at Robert Traylor's cock.
Oh and Stealofthedraft? You are correct.
One word of wisdom before the signing tonight, "If you're worried about some engineering student from Wilmette in an orange shirt, you're not as tough as I thought you were." - IU Ass. Coach Dan Dakich to Eric Gordon before the Hoosiers / Illini game in Chambana.
When the book tour was announced I was upset it wasn't coming to Canada (or at least to Buffalo). As the posts from the tour continue I feel like I'm missing less and less each time.
tf?! Oak Brook? Don't you know how cold it is outside?
Is that guy's beard painted on? Is it some creepy ode to Peter Vecsey?
@Lady Andrea: Impressive.
@bamassippi: GIVE ME...A KEG...OF BEER!
/teen wolf
@J-No: Okay, that's freaky:

Should have stopped in Denver.
@Tuffy: Considering the weather here in our fine city, I think he'd be rocking the Hoth look.
@Hit Bull Win Steak: +5
@Texas Gal: It's a shame Eddy Curry isn't still around for Will to cut open and use for warmth.
@racistmascot_inc: He spent most of the evening wielding a digital camera and/or a pint glass.
