8 8 08 and Audiobooks

[John Green]

In which John discusses the Chicago nerdfighter gathering on 8 8 08, audiobooks, and Dan John Miller. (Music used with permission.) Thanks to Brilliance Audio for bringing me to Grand Haven and to all the librarians who made my visit to Spring Lake possible. And thanks to everyone who came out!

The Harold Washington Library is at 400 S. State Street in downtown Chicago.

I practically live in Chicago! I'm even in Hank's birthday video STANDING IN FRONT OF THE BEAN!
But I can't come because I have MARCHING BAND. Ughhhhhhhh.

[Callie]

Drat! Just barely cut out of the video again. Oh well, maybe I'll make the cut in Ann Arbor. Sadly, I can't make it to the chicago one :( :( :( :(. It's my last day at work.

[Jamie-Lee]

OMG an ottawa nerdfighter! can it be that there are more than one of us!? =O

WOW a real live Tobian! Not exactly what I was expecting

[kdot (keeley)]

[kdot (keeley)]

wow. i just proved my ancient status. my reaction to the outfit on our fair friend Dan John Miller?

Howdy Doody.
Yikes!

The audio version bit made me super-excited. Nice marketing :P

my question to oboefae, above: why NOT like Catcher in the Rye?

[KicktheCAN]

I saw an update and I thought it must be the in depth literary analysis of Catcher in the Rye but my hopes were dashed on the rocks of hilarious videos and the best intro thus far. Am I allowed to be disappointed? This is certainly a conundrum of monumental proportions.

[oboefae]

Hey John, this is awesome and all, but you still didn't answer the burning question: Why like Catcher in the Rye?

[D]

All those kids look so uncomfortable...

[Chip, A Former Ningmaster]

Whyyy do I live absolutely nowhere near everything you go to? *sadness forever*
