Hi all, I’m taking a break from practicing my signature (you can see the latest version over on the right, it’s hopeless) to finally share my tour schedule with you. There might be small changes, but I’ll let you know as they come up.
Everything below, with the exception of the ULA Conference, is open to the public. I hope you’ll come say hi if you’re in the area. There’s also going to be a bunch of media stuff, but I’m not going to put that on the schedule because it probably won’t matter to anyone but me.

Ugh! Your stl stop is while we are in Puerto Rico for vacation.
NOOOOO!!!!!
We will let people know about it though so others can attend. We are looking forward to spending 2 weeks in Puerto Rico exploring. We are even going internet free while there.
Josh, hope to make it to the 5/21 reading. But if I’m being honest here, Fairfax is not San Francisco, although you could probably use “San Francisco Bay Area” to indicate the region to your fans. Good luck with the tour. CB
Thanks Charles, I changed it. I just typed it up the way they sent it to me, thanks for the heads up. I’m not a well-traveled gent and know zero CA geography.
I don’t see DC on here! Any chance it will get added?
As of now, no. You should whip the beltway into a frenzy. Perhaps if the streets are choked with people chanting my name, the bookstores will do it for the sake of order.
Really? No Oregon stops? Your loss.
I love Oregon. It is my loss.
What time will you be in St. Louis?
Okay all you “YEE HAW” North Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth) and Southern Oklahoma area Josh fans out there please utilize your Southern hospitality abilities and let’s rally to be included in this tour schedule!! We do not want to be left out of the chance to hear from and meet the WSL!!! Trying very much here Josh!! Terri
Hi, Josh! I’ll be interviewing you next week for Public Libraries Association Online. I just dropped by to take a look at your blog. Too bad you can’t make it out to the east coast. We’d love to have ya. Talk to you soon!
Hey Josh,
Looks like the closest stop is in Decatur, GA which is 6.5 hours away. I’ll have to see if we can do a long weekend and head up there. I’m not sure if we’ll be able to, but I’m going to pencil it in. I’m looking forward to reading the book when it comes out!
Thanks Eric. If there are any events added, I’ll announce them here, so hopefully we’ll wind up with something closer.
