I pre-ordered from Joseph-Beth to be able to possibly get one of the "special editions." Do I need to buy another one to attend the KC event? I can always give it as a gift, but just checking to see if there is a loophole of some kind....

I am in a similar spot with the Boston event! I called the bookstore and they said the publisher decides this - Joe + team, is there any chance to ask the publisher to open up the option to buy a ticket without a book?

Thank you for warning us all about St. Louis pizza. Altoona pizza has recently been brought to my attention. It may be worse.

I'm ready for the KC stop!

I'm thinking that the Barnes & Noble inside the Mall of America - not far from the former Metropolitan Stadium - would be just the LOVELIEST place for the Big Fan book tour. Something for you guys to think about...

On another note, it doesn't seem in Joe's character to tell who it was... but I'm DYING to know WHICH column on FJM it was that caused Joe to write in, because I definitely want to read it. Joe: please don't be classy, just this once. I mean... it's been like 20 years. I feel like that past the statute of limitations on people being mad about one column.

Victoria, BC? We have an Indigo, but more importantly, a bunch of really good independent bookstores and tremendous pubs. I'm willing to make recommendations...

Please please please come to the DC area. We can get you a half-smoke from Ben's Chili Bowl and we all can lament about the death of the Nationals.

I hope they're not opening baseball cards ;-)

Add me to the list of people who are hoping you guys can make a trip to my local city (SF in this case)!

Add Seattle! Love your books! Elliot Bay Bookstore would be an amazing stop!!

One of my favorite places!

I don’t see how you can crap on Mike’s signature when you made no effort whatsoever at “Posnanski”…

The LA event is on my birthday - yay! But man, getting down to Hermosa Beach on a Friday afternoon ain’t gonna be easy. That’s 90 minutes minimum from much of LA. Plus potential work conflict :( Is there a reason that one is scheduled for 5pm?

Hoping we get a Pacific Northwest tour stop.

We love you here in Portland, Joe! City Councilor Steve Novick even mentioned in his January newsletter how much he loves reading JoeBlogs. (I don't know Steve, but if you see this, hi, Steve!)

A Seattle stop would also be acceptable.

I love the Strand! It is my must stop every time I visit NYC!

It's soooooo good.

It's been nearly two decades since Fire Joe Morgan was retired, and I still miss it.

I'm surprised Joseph-Beth in Cincinnati is not on the tour.

Ahhh do I buy a ticket and go to NYC or do I wait to see if you’re coming to Philly?
