Washington, D.C. closes Stank Tour with 105 junkies
We closed out the Sigler Stank II book tour in style with the Washington, D.C. installment. Over 105 Junkies came out and partied (it's "over" 105 because one woman was pregnant, which counts as a half-Junkie.)
Thanks to all of you who came out for the eleven city swing. I had an amazing time meetin' & greetin' and drinkin' with all of you. I got many emails and Tweets from people who couldn't quite make it out, and those were appreciated as well -- will catch you next time around.
Looking at December 2009 for the next installment, and I hope to kick it up to fifteen cities or possibly even more. I am now heading home to go the hell to sleep. More stories coming soon.

I would have agreed with you except for one small thing
If Scott didn't think it would boost his numbers, why did he pimp their presence ahead of time? Hmmmm? Answer me that, Ms. smarty pants.
Thank you, George Hrab, for composing and performing the acoustic version of brainsbodyboth. Humorous yet poignant, and you gave me a theme song. I miss Ally <sigh>

Yes, that would be cool if Scott did that
and he typically takes care of his junkies. He knows it's a symbiotic relationship. Now if fucktards would just stop hurling monkeys at his nads it would all be good.

What I think would be great is if.......
all the Texas people wrote a story in which Sigler gets killed 143 times each time in a different way. Sigler gets killed then comes back then gets killed again. It would be like in Halloween where the guy gets shot, falls off of a two story balcony then is gone in the next scene. Sigler just keeps coming back!!!!!! Mwaaahaaaaaaa!!!!!

To tell the truth...
while I am happy to have had the chance to meet the FDO & the RDQ & the hubbie of the RDQ, not to mention to be killed in an upcoming story, I have to admit that DC didn't come close to the experience in Houston.
No offense to DC but I just had a blast flying out to Houston and hanging out with the best bunch of genuinely awesome Junkies. Dinner before, the intimate reading, tequila shots at the the seedy bar and the yummy eats at the non-seedy bar...the whole experience was a blast!
Seriously?
Because promotion helps the cause? Dude you have no idea how much promotion was going on. Yeah you had those other podcasters there, and it was great, but they all told their listeners just as I spread the word to the podcasts I work with. Granted it was cool to see my friends and peeps I knew only online when it came down to it they were there for Scott not me. Just as the other bigger podcast listeners were there for Scott not the others. If that were the case, that they were there for the other podcasters it would have been more prudent to go to Balticon where most of those people go every year.
Oh wait, logic, sorry, shouldn't have pulled that out, unfair fight :)
I say all this as someone who mostly got into Sigler because Mur Lafferty and the other podcasts at the time would not shut up about Earth Core, so I finally broke down and took a listen. I drove from Canada to NY for (work, family stuff &) the Stank Tour, then drove down that night to DC. Not because the other podcasters would be there (at the time I only knew Mur was going to be there) but because I missed last year's Stank Tour and... because I could. Wouldn't you do the same?
A another fellow traveller...
I have to agree with you completely...

I have to agree!
I don't think I've had as much fun with any group of people in a long, long time. It felt as though I had known you guys for years. I'm ready for another outing!!!!!!!

While I'm sure they all had a great time in DC....
I think we really did the Junkie Community thing down in Houston. Next time the FDO comes out, we'll have to see if he can get together at the Armadillo with us before the signing... No signing of anything, no pictures, no pressure. Just some junkies and the fdo admiring the big-ass snake and cow hide tabletops...

Awww yeah!
Sounds like an excellent plan! Share a few drinks, eats, conversation and enjoy the fellowship of all present! Great Idea Jam!

We also need to come up with a place
That has a party room for after the signing, unfortunatly the bar was too small and my group didn't realize we were going to Two rows which was too crowded last year. I'm going to try and find a good venue for the next visit so we have enough room and good atmoshphere. ...Tsolo888 <AKA Cpt. Travis Ellis> - Out

Tsolo we might think about
reserving a room at the Armadillo. They have rooms for that kind of stuff!

That's what I was thinking
It would help us less agressive junkies get a little more out of the exsperience. ...Tsolo888 <AKA Cpt. Travis Ellis> - Out

The cowhide tables!!
The FDO *needs* to see those cowhide tables. They reminded me of Ancestor! I couldn't stop petting the table :DNo, everything I've seen in the forums says rum

Hey now, I'm a big fan of logic :(
It's always fair. I totally get that everyone was helping promote Scott's tour. That's awesome. And I know Scott helps to promote things for other 'casters. That's how the podosphere works. It's one of the beautiful things about it and one of the reasons I fell in love with the community. Even the biggest names in podcasting (ie Scott, Mur) will take the time to personally answer email or play a promo for an up and coming podcster.
It just didn't seem to make sense in this instance unless Scott was using the names as a draw for himself. I suppose he could have been using them as a "hey, I'm so cool, these other cool people are coming, you should come too!" but I really kind of doubt it. That doesn't seem like his style to me. He's never been shy about admitting that he's shameless when it comes to self promotion, so using friends to get more bodies in the door seems like something he might do. I could be absolutely wrong though. Who knows?

Yeah, I guess they will be *much* rarer after the tour
Just seems like there are hardly any KISS badges right now. But if Scott kills 100 junkies that will make the badge much more common. There's only 4 active MPs on the site. I'm guessing it will be quite a while before we promote another, but you never know what the FDO will do.....

Yeah, after the rave review TwoWire gave it,
I'm hoping y'all do decide to have a Vegas get together so I can meet everyone. He made it sound frakkin' awesome!

I noticed myself unconsciously rubbing the edges of the tables while I was sitting there!
