Minnesota….. Mini Soda
OR
Minnesota…… The Bipolar State
Extremely Insane state that has mood swings of the temperature kind. We are either really HOT or really COLD…..but the residents are even more insane……Shorts in winter and sweatshirts in summer.

I live in Minnesota. And I love it (I’m also insane ;o)

Michigan could also be renamed “Snowagain,” or “the Sunless State.”

Is there any way that you can caption things like the trailer? I’d love to know what is being said. Maybe pass this on to the people who created the trailer about captioning guidelines: http://www.dcmp.org/ciy/ This site shows the proper way to caption (how long to keep the words up, don’t forget to describe sounds, etc) and has links to various captioning programs both web based and ones you download, free and for pay.

Also, the next time you’re in DC/Bal’more I’d like to see you. Who in your team would I contact about getting an interpreter?

I’m really disappointed that you’re offering additional chapters in your paperback book which is cheaper than the hardcover I bought. While I’m usually one to jump on a bargain (more chapters + cheaper price!), I feel a bit swindled since I’m being unfairly punished for buying your book as soon as it was available.

My friend and I drove 2 hours to see you in LA to have our hardcover books signed; we love the stories and read your site frequently. I’m going to go gently sob in a corner now, because I’ll probably never read those extra chapters since I’m not getting the paperback and there are no bookstores left in my town for me to find the book and covertly read (damn you Amazon, you amazing freaking site!).

(Actually the extra chapter was more of a gift to people like you who have already read it but still wanted to buy the paperback version. I bet you can find it at your library eventually. ~ Jenny)

Please, pretty please with salsa on top, please come to Austin. My bootcamp trainer played us some of your book yesterday and we (Tom, Alice, Maria, and I) adored it! Of course, she also brings us chocolate sometimes, so obviously she’s not your average trainer. We’ll take you for fried avocado tacos at Torchy’s afterward.

Just finished Lets Pretend This Never Happened and would like to say I enjoyed it, but I can’t because it failed the ever important treadmill test. I should clarify – Winning the Treadmill Test = A book helps me “reasonably” forget that I’m on the treadmill in the gym while reading. However, I was not allowed to forget I was reading your book because it caused me to bust out laughing and quite nearly perform an ER dismount of said treadmill…. with EVERYONE in the gym staring at me & my old stretched thin pants (because I refuse to by new pants until I lose 5 lbs already). It should contain a warning not to read it on treadmills because if you do you might die, of humiliation at least.

i have been living in KCMO since i was 2 (so for 26 years) and i did not realize that people were so thrown off by the whole KCK/KCMO thing! however, because you are a KS lover: the bookstore that is sponsoring your reading is actually in fairway, KS. it is just way too small for a big time celebrity such as yourself so they had to hold your party at a bigger place in MO. however, they are literally like 10 minutes away from each other (in heavy traffic). also, the place in MO where your reading is is actually on the south side of the river which you will cross on your way from the airport (which is up north, by kansas city, north… not to be confused by north kansas city which is a totally seperate town (with a different mayor) from KCK and KCMO). So don’t let anyone tell you that crossing the river leads you into KS because that is a dirty lie. if you would like a full Kansas City history lesson, just call me up. besides coming to your signing, i have not much else to do…

You should stop at our store on your way to Kansas City. We ARE in Kansas and a store one block from us sells metal chickens. We could pair up for your reading and sell chickens all in one night! We’re small enough you wouldn’t have to hide in the bathroom but you could if you wanted. One hour from KC. Think about us!
