I will be doing a book signing and reading in Philly on Thursday, April 8. It will be at 6pm at the Barnes & Noble in Center City at 18th and Walnut. There will also be some boozing done after the signing at a location to be determined (I’ll let you guys know at the signing where we’ll booze afterward).

This is the first signing we have scheduled so far, but there will be additional ones, all of which I hope will follow the formula of read-sign-booze. Sometime in the next few weeks, we’ll get the dates for NYC, Boston and LA. I will also likely make it to Seattle and Denver. Then there’s a host of cities that I’m going to try to get to, but I can’t be totally positive about. Included in these are Chicago, San Fran, DC, Cleveland and Milwaukee.

What should be interesting about the Philly signing is that a number of the book’s “characters” are scheduled to appear, including:

- my dad!

- my mom!

- my sister!

- Floody and Jimmy the Muppet!

- and a host of others*!

(*Note: My brother is in law school in Virginia and will likely be unable to make it)

Therefore this will likely be the only signing that, if you should so desire, you can get both me and my dad (and potentially others) to sign your book (awesome!). So put it in your calendars, tell your friends, and hope to see you there.

(Shameless plug time) While I will (of course) post the dates and locations of the signings here on the site, a good way to keep up to date is by joining the book’s “fan” page on Facebook (if you’re a Facebook person) or by following me on Twitter (if you’re a Twitter person). You could always also be my friend on Facebook, as well.

Lastly, thank you for all the positive feedback you’ve sent me about the book. As I’ve said all along, the best way you can show your support is my recommending it to others, as a book’s success relies almost totally on word of mouth. So keep pimping that shit out, and if you come to a reading, I’ll buy you a beer.*

(* I probably won’t be able to afford to buy you a beer. But I’ll definitely give you a high-five. I think this is a fair compromise, no?)
