YES, I AM GOING ON TOUR. I will be promoting my eBooks, selling merch none of you have not seen, and organizing meet-ups for this fine community. However, I&#8217;d like to kick things off early with a test date next week in San Diego, California! YOU SHOULD COME HANG OUT!<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->If you live in San Diego or anywhere nearby, I am going to hold a prototype event at Claire de Lune Coffee Lounge in North Park on December 26th, at 5:00pm! This is not an official calendar event at the coffee shop, as this will be more of a meet-up and a chance for me to experiment with a few ideas I&#8217;ve been kicking around for the past two months. Either way, I would love to meet some of the fine folks who contribute and read the stuff in this community, so let&#8217;s do it!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be organizing this day and the full tour through <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/panasonicyouth\" target=\"_blank\">my personal Facebook page<\/a>. It&#8217;s just easier to keep track of this way. (You are welcome to add me there, if you like!) <strong>If you are going to attend this date or are considering it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/260801883984423\/\" target=\"_blank\">please go to the Event Page I&#8217;ve created<\/a> in order to RSVP. This is incredibly important, as I need to know how many people are going to come.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a Facebook page, you are welcome to leave a comment below confirming that you will be attending or plan to attend. Again, this is needed to gauge space in case like 100 people say they&#8217;re going to show, and then I might have to switch venues. On that same note, if you know of a venue that could host us that might be better-suited (and is open on the day after Christmas), feel free to let me know! I am not opposed to moving it, as long as I can communicate it to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>This event will be FREE OF CHARGE. (It looks like I&#8217;ll be able to do the same thing for ALL ten dates on my tour as well!) I will bring a poorly designed donation jar if you&#8217;d like to help support the Mark Does Stuff endeavor, which includes my new private server, publishing books, buying merch for y&#8217;all, and to pay for the tour next year, which I have to pay for out of my own pockets. Otherwise, do not worry if you don&#8217;t have money to spare. This meet-up will not cost you a penny.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so this little experiment of mine is finally starting. I hope that I can meet some of you, and I&#8217;ll announce the full tour very, very soon. Dates will be in the Midwest, the East coast, and CANADA. TWO CANADIAN DATES <em>TOTAL VICTORY<\/em>. If it is a success, I would love to do a second and third tour later in the year in the south, the west coast, western Canada, AND I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE U.K. So let&#8217;s make this happen!<\/p>\n<p>Remember, visit markdoesstuff.com to buy my eBooks, as the money there goes to support all of this stuff, which is not really that inexpensive to run or pull off. I also have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/markdoesstuff\" target=\"_blank\">a CafePress store<\/a> with tons of merch that you would love to own. Anything you can do to help would be sweet!<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU ALL. I HOPE TO MEET A BILLION OF YOU IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, all ten cities\/dates on the February Mark Does Stuff Tour are now chosen, but I&#8217;m saving that as a Christmas present for y&#8217;all.
