Last night I threw an online book launch party at my house and thousands of you came even though the Muppets were on at the same time. It was amazing to see so many people hanging out together – alone – and making friends online and being hilarious and fantastic. Entertainment Weekly wrote about it, which is a bit surreal because John Stamos never came out of the bushes and I didn’t even start anything on fire or get arrested. If you missed it and you’re not able to get to a signing then you can watch it here:
The response to the book has been extraordinary and I can’t stop refreshing twitter and Facebook to see people share quotes and laughter and gifs like this:

THANK YOU.
And today the official book tour starts! I’ll be in Austin tonight at BookPeople (7pm) so please come! If you order from BookPeople you’ll get priority tickets in the signing line.
Tomorrow is Hailey’s birthday so I’m taking off that day but then I’m back on tour again and it’s going to be awesome. Here’s the schedule. Some places are already sold out so call to get a seat, but even if the reading is sold out I’ll still stay and sign books as long as you’re there.
