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

I’ve noticed you have a lot of sections where people can put comments. How many sections do you actually read?
Ah, but today you can’t “wikipedia” anglerfish(es). Bravo, wiki, bravo! Censorship, be damned.
Hello John, I’m a childrens bookseller in Melbourne Australia. We met once in my store (dymocks) to my great delight when you were in town a while ago.
I finished “Fault” this morning weeping on the tram and then over my pre work coffee. I thought you would be keen to hear that it is on our store bestseller display after one week.
Some young fans have been stuffing the books on the shelf with little friendly notes about you and vlogbrothers. Cute but annoying. (they ARE for sale after all.not a library) So please accept my congratulations on your masterpiecery. Writers like you make it so easy to do my job. .
I just finished The Fault In Our Stars, and needed quite a few kleenexes to get through. I couldn’t read the book fast enough, and can’t say enough good things about it. It is your best yet, if I had to rate them, and although I have a great fondness for many of your characters, I love Hazel and Augustus best. Thanks for this thoughtful and meaningful work.
What a cool video! Looks like A great gig!
John & Hank,
My husband and I drove our adult daughter 5 hours to see you in Alabama on the 17th. She carried with her a backpack full of books and a smile on her face that I really don’t think a lot of parents of 20 year olds get to see. Her most prized possession is a copy of Alaska. The cover is bent, the spine is broken and it has followed her through hard time and good times, and it continues to be pulled off of the bookshelf when she needs it the most. She was so shy when she talked to you at the signing, but did manage to tell you that she had written an essay in high school about Alaska having no plot LOL!
Thank you for giving us the chance to have a great little road trip with our baby. We had to come home after the show because of our work schedules, but it was so wonderful to find her sleeping on a mattress in our living room floor when I got up (oh yea.. this mama changed her bedroom into a mom cave LOL).
