Click here to hear all the final details before NOCTURNAL hits next week!! TODAY! 3:00pm Pacific Time! Join us for the virtual tour stop & live chat! [Edited as the cool virtual tour is done!] Then, tomorrow is the final deadline for all the great cool incentives and entry into the prize drawing for NOCTURNAL goodies. Get THE REPORTER, name a GFL Tier Three team, join the founding members of the Ionath Krakens Booster Club.  Monday the NOCTURNAL Tour (west siieeeedd!) begins! And finally, Tuesday, after years in the making, NOCTURNAL publishes in hardcover.

When we announced the 2012 tour schedule, there were shouts from Junkies all over the world: "When are you coming to [insert my hometown here]!!"  "When will I get a chance to raise a glass with the FDØ?"

Well, Junkies, now's your chance.  We've teamed up with the fine folks at Shindig Events and we'll have a virtual tour stop this Friday, March 30th, at 3:00pm PST.  And no matter where in the world you are, here's your chance to hear Scott read from NOCTURNAL, ask questions in real time, chat with other attendees, and even talk face-to-face with Scott. That's right, no matter where you are, no matter how many other folks show up, we'll have room for you too!

What do you have to do?  Easy:

1. On Friday at 3:00pm PST (or whatever that works out to be in your town) head on over to: www.shindig.com/event/37-Scott-Sigler
2. Enter your name and a valid email address. You'll also need a computer with a webcam and mic if you want to be seen and heard.
3. If you've got a question, come ask during the Q&A, but keep in mind this is a public event.
   
4. If you're so inclined, bring a beverage of your choice to enjoy during the Q&A.  I'm pretty sure Scott will be ready to raise a glass by Friday afternoon.

That's it!  The Shindig Events interface is super easy to use, and it'll only take a minute to learn how to ask a question (either by text or live on-camera), chat with other Junkies directly, or mingle with the assembled folk.

We know this won't work for everyone, and surely someone will say "but have have to [insert something not-as-cool here].  But it's a cool addition to the tour, and we'll have it recorded as well.  We're excited, and we really hope to see you there. You don't know, there might even be a surprise or two.*

*Disclaimer: Surprise or two not guaranteed. The whole virtual tour is a surprise in itself!!!

Junkies, it's been an amazing week at the Lair of Døøm™. We've got a loT going on (notice the capital T) these days, but this past week was a little ridiculous! We were finally able to share news of the GFL paperbacks, which is awesome. But the really wonderful news is the enormous response to the NOCTURNAL pre-order incentives, and the creation of such a robust and wonderful group of Founders for the Ionath Krakens Booster Club. 2012 Ionath Krakens Booster Club Gregg Anderson Jason Ashmore Matthew Bailey Dale Bennett Aaron Brough Shirley Bruce Joe Carlson Beth Copenhaver Paul DeWig JP and Stephanie Harvey Alfred Heasty Jason Heim David Hess Neal Hewitt Tim Hines Randy Hinckley Marty Hoffmann Tony Jennings Pons Matal Andrew MacLennan Byron Metz Barry O'Donnell Jeremiah Pappe Scott E.
