Giving Thanks for Nerdfighteria

I'll be signing (but not reading or anything) at Malaprop's Bookstore THIS SATURDAY at 1 PM (55 Haywood St. in Asheville, NC.)

In which John gives thanks for nerds, nerdfighters, and his brother. And throws himself at a wall. Also the first ever vlogbrothers video to feature more than one bonus easter egg at the end. Happy Thanksgiving,… Continue

And, of course, there haven't been very many videos in the last few days. That's pretty much because we've had about six free hours per day. Those have been used, mostly, for sleep.

I keep telling John to finish the video he's been working on...but he's driving right now, so I've asked him not to edit right this very… Continue

Quick Thoughts on the Road

I think it's pretty obvious that what John and Katherine and I are doing is pretty freaking weird...I'm just not entirely sure why. I think, in fact, that there are lots of reasons.

John and I are both getting pretty bi-polar, oscillating between fear and loathing and complete elation. Trying to keep up with our writing / blogging / vlogging schedule has been pretty impossible. When not celebrating the complete awesomeness of nerdfighting, mostly we just want to space… Continue

The Minivan

Those of you who have read Paper Towns know how prominently minivans feature in them. Well, Q's only car happens to be a late model Chrysler minivan...

And today, when faced with the choice of which car to rent in order to carry ourselves and our mountain of shirts, CDs, and luggage around during the Tour de Nerdfighting, we chose nothing less than..get this...a late model Chrysler… Continue
