Additionally, to help gauge the size of these events, please visit the Facebook link attached to each date and RSVP to say you are or might be going to the meet-up. If you do not have a Facebook, you can RSVP in the comments below!
I’ll have a Pigfarts Donation Fund tip jar with me on the road to help pay for this and to pay for hotels and such in cities where I don’t have any friends. Again, you can always buy my books at markdoesstuff.com to support this. (PS: I finished designing the jar today. IT’S ADORABLE.)
I’m very excited for this, and I hope to meet a billion of you. If this goes well, I’ll book more tours this year to head to the south, more of the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, western Canada, and my lifetime goal: going to the UK. LET’S DO THIS EVERYONE. oh god i am going to pass out from joy.
