Tour Prepping and Notes
Posted on August 6, 2015 Posted by John Scalzi 13 Comments
We’re just a few days out from the beginning of the tour for The End of All Things, so a few things about what will be going on here and other places whilst I am out and about.
1. First, the site won’t be going hiatus — I have seven Big Ideas scheduled while I’m out on tour and it wouldn’t be fair to them, and anyway, I like posting — but, as usual when I am out on tour, I’ll likely post rather less, and most of my personal posts are likely to be brief. Hey, I’m traveling and am likely to be slightly discombobulated most of the time I’m not at an event. If I go longer than brief, I’ll be babbling.
2. As usual with touring, the place where I’m likely to do most of my updating will be on Twitter. Because it’s damnably convenient, that’s why. If you’re not already following me and want to be as up-to-the-minute as possible on what I’m doing for the next three weeks, now would be a good time to follow me there.
3. Also as usual when I’m touring, for the duration of the tour (or more accurately, from mid-afternoon on the 10th until sometime early on the 28th) I’ll be stepping away from my email for the most part. Which is to say I might read email that’s sent to me, but probably not, and unless you happen to be my agent saying “everything is on fire call me now,” I’ll probably not respond (and if you were my agent, in that situation you’d be likely to call me anyway). So if there’s an email you absolutely want me to see before the end of the month, well, better send it soon. If you send it after the 10th, you’ll get my automatic reply reminding you of all this.
4. Finally, just a reminder: Please please please please please come see me on my tour, and bring a friend, or two, or seven. We’ll have fun like you wouldn’t believe. Believe it!
End of All Thing US tour is trademarked by Donald Trump.
That is a seriously messed up schedule! Lots of FF miles there.
So when are you coming to Hawaii?
Actually? Probably 2016. Details later.
The Phoenix appearance does not fall on one of my work nights (unlike most events I’d like to go to), so I should be able to attend. (No arm-in-sling this time, huzzah.)
Me and my librarian buds will see you in Seattle – thanks for coming within driving distance!
Me and my cousin (and possibly my roommate) will see you in SF, and we’ll be bringing tribute! ^_^
Well, I’ll miss you in Spokane…I’ll be there from the 16th – 20th, and on my way back to Ohio….
If I don’t catch you in Portland, maybe I’ll see you at Sasquan a few days later. Have fun!
“I’m traveling and am likely to be slightly discombobulated most of the time I’m not at an event. If I go longer than brief, I’ll be babbling.”
Bummer. You can be pretty entertaining when you babble.
Alas I’m going to miss you this time around due to prior plans. I’m really looking forward to reading the book, though!
Do tell! We get pretty much what the littlest pig got out here, with few cons willing to foot the bill for quality guests.
My friends and I are driving from Virginia Beach to see you in Raleigh. We’re excited for the new book and to meet you. Will you be reading?
