Wait for the bit where I say, "Not to start plugging my next book already," and then watch how I do exactly that. Smooth, huh? And look for the new cover!

I'm in Dallas (area)! Come to the B&N at Southlake Town Square!
Stephanie, you are so comfortable in front of a crowd, you seem to be totally at ease. I'd be hiding behind a book shelf. Confidence is a great thing to have. Can't wait for Moose.!
Hi Stephanie! I am so looking forward to reading Moose and can I just say I LOVE the new cover!! I live in NY in Brewster so I will be sure to hop on the train to NYC to meet you at Borders! So excited!! Hope you and the beans are doing well and are all over your colds….
Not only coming to DC but a cocktail party to boot? I'll be there with bells on!
Hi!
I'm a meeting and event planner in DC, so if you need any help…
Stacy
Hooray for DC! Can't wait!
Umm… hello?! We need to see you in Boston. Its just a train ride away from NY…
I wish you were coming to Boston!
The Printer's Row Book Fair is a great event and literally right in front of my house! I'll be there!
Hey Steph,
What about Boston? I'd love to come see ya! Come on!
How fun is that going to be!!! :) Yeah!!
Who schedules and coordinates the speaking events? You, your publisher?
Wahhhhh….I am moving from Houston to SF and don't want to miss you. Any chance you will be in the San Francisco bay area? Pleeezzzeee! :)
Keep us updated on the DC cocktail party! Can't wait!
Yay! I love Bookpeople. Will look forward to seeing you in May! Luckily I won't have to travel very far.
Tulsa…TULSA
We read, ya know!
I like that cover so much better. You do well in speaking in front of people. Little disappointed that Atlanta isnt on the list (fuck you!) but ah well I'll get over it.
Someone commented on your scrapbook by the way over at my blog stating yours is "unfuckingbelievable"
She's a lurker I told about your site. Good luck with the tour. Will you bring the babies with you to any of the cities?
i am a daily reader, never posted before. I loved straight up and diry and cant wait for Moose. When does it come out? I am in NYC and my office is close to Columbus Circle so i will definitely be there.
right on. glad you're coming to LA! That is the California LA and not Louisianna, right? ;)
I'm going to do my best to come see you somewhere…hopefully you'll get closer to Springfield, Massachusetts??? Hartford isn't too far and neither is Albany, NY. Just a thought. Although, it doesn't take too much arm twisting to get me to NYC. :)
I just read an article about you in a british tabloid and came to your blog. I love your writing and can't wait to read MOOSE. I'll be in L.A. this summer and hopefully catch your reading.
I can get my sorority to sponsor your coming to Wisconsin. Problem is school ends… Maybe come sooner?
Is the photo on the cover of you as a kid?
I'll see you in Chicago!
I went to your last reading in San Fancisco. we had so much fun. Any plans for SF again?
Any chance you'd do a book on cd? From seeing your video it would go over great. you are so expressive and natural. Denver in June is nice…
OMG you're supposed to be in NY the day after I give birth!?!?!?!?! What will I do? Argggh!
OMG you're supposed to be in NY the day after I give birth!?!?!?!?! Maybe she'll come early or a little later… What will I do? Argggh!
Yay! I'm so happy you're coming to NYC. Will the twins be traveling with you?
When in Chicago you should go on OPRAH. Good Luck. See in in Chi-town!
Yay for D.C. Got it on my calendar. It took me awhile, but I finally bought your book on Sunday. I just love your writing. I've been reading excerpts to my roommates. :)
Is there volume on the YouTube clip?
I just requested you do a reading here in Villanova. Hope to see you here.
Ah, yeah, then not B&N. And not Southlake. Ghostbar at the W? Hotel Palomar? In any case, I hope to be there!
Stephanie,
I don't see any plans for Mpls/St. Paul; is that an option? Also, I've been wondering, since your first memoir was so closely related to the blog, and included a lot of sexy, "juicy" material, as compared to a memoir more related to self-esteem, adolescence, etc., do you think "Moose" will attract a different audience?
Best wishes,
Nicole
How about Cincinnati? I tried to do the "demand me" thing you sent over myspace, but it kept asking for my friends' e-mail addresses. Not too comfortable with that, so I am commenting here to "DEMAD YOU"!! I would love to see you in Cincinnati!
Sigh. Pittsburgh anyone? If you're here, call the Joseph-Beth store in the Southside Works and talk to the marketing dept.
Stephanie, Pittsburgh is lovely that time of year…
Also, I was delighted to find out that my federal employer has barred your "first time visitor" page- it is listed a "malicious site," whatever that means.
Can't wait to meet you in DC!
I used to live in DC…there's a great restaurant on the Hill called Sonoma…fabulous wines and cheeses (and a killer menu in general). It's my #1 stop when I'm there for a work or a friendly visit. They have a great private event loft space upstairs!
I marked my calendar for the Austin date.
Yay!! Why no cocktail party in Austin? Can we have a Hotel SJ afterparty?
I love the video, loved reliving how excited you were that night in NYC, and I think the cover of Moose is incredible.
Bravo!
looking forward to the la signings..will there be alcohol involved here too?
Can't wait to finally see you in person here in Austin! See you on May 27th.
Minneapolis should really be on the list! I talked to someone at B&N about you. Perhaps mention it to the publicity dept.
Will you be touring in San Francisco again? Cocktail party would be even better.
How do we convince your publisher that Atlanta is the pace to be! I'd bring at least 20 friends who love your blog.
Who do we beg again to get added to the list of cities on your tour?
Las Vegas Nevada please! :)

See you in DC!
I loved your reading in Chicago last year. I was in the back row and super nervous to meet you when you signed my copy of SUAD. I can already think of oodles of places better than D.O.C. to take you on the 6th or 7th – whether it be creative pizza, orange-flavored cuisines or just a bevy of martini options. I think you'll love the warm weather here as opposed to the muck from last year. So exited!
