Rage Against The Meshugenah will be released exactly six weeks from today. Time is drawing nigh, and I have kicked Operation: Everybody Buy My Book into serious overdrive.

Comments

Get your arse over to Ireland and I'll be there (ooh, and I'll buy ya a Guinness)!

Good luck, can't wait to read it!

I'd come and say hello if you were coming anywhere close to me. BOO.

Any hope for a South Eastern US tour? PLeeeeeezze...

Going to be visiting my folks in Portland this August, but alas, I'll have blown town 2 or 3 days ahead of your visit.

Good luck with the tour, and I'll get mine on Amazon.

Come to SLC, UT!

I know you'll laugh, but Oklahoma?!!!

Northern CT? I saw two coyotes in my yard the other night, and just the other day, a wild turkey. C'mon, we know how to party! (oh, and also read books, obv.)

I have to wait another SIX WEEKS to see it?! What the hell am I supposed to read in the meantime?

Are you coming to the East Coast/Philadelphia any time soon? If you do, there is a group of us out here ready to see you!

What are the odds of a mid-Atlantic visit? Washington, DC is hot and humid and generally disgusting this time of year. Doesn't that sound enticing??

I'll be in Tustin!

Maybe the 15th in Tustin . . . that's not too far.

Congratulations again, Danny, you must be excited beyond belief.

Danny, any chance they'll be sending you out East?

I was going to comment "what a lame tour" but I don't want to be mean. Come on, you HAVE to come out East! You KNOW you need a Philly cheesesteak!

Come out this way - the midwest loves you too!

Thanks for your support, guys. Naturally I wish I could take the country by storm and meet all of you and thank you personally. But this is my first book and I'm told it's extraordinarily for an author to tour AT ALL on his first. So I'm grateful for what I'm getting.

That said, if the book sells like crazy...who knows?

What?? No Iowa?? Or was the public radio gig it? (Which was a great little spot, BTW)

What? No Chicago? Are we not worthy of your presence? Grrrrr.

WAAAAHHHH! You need to come to Atlanta, GA. I know I would love it.... :-)

Tick, tick, tick... remember, even if you're just passing through, beer's on me for this fantastic book. Besides, I need to lay my hands on a signed copy.

Nothing will keep us from being there. Word.

What if I just wished I lived in one of those places? Anywhere in California would be good. Speaking of depression...you should live in Ohio during the winter months. That would be a whole book unto itself.

I demand to see you in Intercourse.

PA that is.

Dude, I'm in LA. I plan on coming. I've been enjoying your blog. Cheers!

Best of luck to you my man. I know you and the book will do great. Sorry I can't make the tour but your closest stop is about an 8 hour drive...I love ya, but damn that's a long time in the car ;)

What? There are no meshugenah people on the east coast?! Very happy for you Danny!

Danny, I'm so excited for you I think I just peed my pants a little bit!
BTW, what does a humble follower have to do to get a signed copy of this great work???

Drat! You come to San Diego, but pick the one week when I've been sentenced to family visitations in NorCal. Any chance of doing a book signing in Modesto, CA on the 8th? If there's any place that needs a book about depression, it's Modesto.

Minneapolis is a wonderful city full of bookstores, and I'll be happy to supply the beer (and food, if necessary!). Have you tried our incredibly hoppy Summit Extra Pale Ale brewed in St. Paul? Also, I'd love to stand in line for a signed copy of your book for my husband, who's really going to need it after 6 months in Saudi Arabia with the Air Force. Go East, young man!

So - when does it get released in Europe? I've got it on my WishList, but no info on release date over here...

I've preordered your book from Amazon - your booksignings are a *bit* out of my way - I live in Copenhagen...
