An Awful Lot of Touring

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:09:28 +0000

In which Hank sings a bit and then (in a Nyquil-fueled stupor) rambles about...something...I've forgotten already.

An Awful Lot of Running is on Chameleon Circuit's first album, they are both extremely worth owning.

The BEST HOTEL ROOM Ever

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:22:17 +0000

In which I get a great hotel on tour. The song is "A Song about Anglerfish" by Hank Green: http://dftba.com/product/vj/This-Machine-Pwns-n00bs-CD--Poster The hotel is the Hotel ZaZa in Houston. It is very, very, very nice.

Live from Austin Texas!

In which Hank and John perform a streamlined show that does not include Hank forgetting the words to ANY OF HIS SONGS...we hope.

Thoughts on SOPA From New Orleans

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:34:01 +0000

In which Hank walks around the French Quarter and discusses the freaking sweet internet blackout that resulted in a great number of congresspeople dropping their support for SOPA and PIPA. The internet is coming into its own as a powerful political force, and just in time to face serious threats.

Note: All buskers in this video received at least a $5 tip. Posting a video of a busker is a really interesting intellectual property discussion, actually. If I were to take 20 videos of that one man band and create a YouTube channel all about him and then make a bunch of money off of it and not give him any, that would clearly be wrong, but it would not (as far as I can tell) be illegal. He's performing in a public space and I am thus allowed to record him. It's another example of the rule "don't be a dick" being far more important than any law congress can pass on copyright reform.

We are entering a brave new world here, thank you for standing up for the internet, helping to defeat SOPA and PIPA, and thinking deeply about these issues.

Thoughts from Places: The Tour

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:38:34 +0000

In which John talks about the tour de nerdfighting 2012 and how much awesome can be packed into a single auditorium. The awesome song everyone's dancing to is "Shake-a-Booty," off of Hank's great album Ellen Hardcastle: http://dftba.com/product/y1/Ellen-Hardcastle-CD

(For incredibly complicated reasons involving people not believing me about nerdfighteria's amazingness, some preorders--especially in Europe--are unsigned. I am solving this problem. Email me at sparksflyup-at-gmail-dot-com with your name, your address, and where you ordered the book from, and a beautiful and very very rare signed bookplate will be sent to you.)
