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!!!

I managed to miss it too...yeah that appointment I had at 8am that meant I'd definitely be back by 3?  Not so much when it doesn't go according to plan!  I wrote down the wrong time and was there 5 hours early, which I filled by going to see The Hunger Games....again.  And buying overly expensive cupcakes.  And buying a few new books while I wait helplessly for Nocturnal.  Then I go to my appointment...and got home at 5, dagnabbit!
Do not mess with the affairs of monsters, for you are tasty and good with ketchup.

Ha! And if I recall correctly, you are in Austrailia. So is Deltrimental. I agree that some more information on how Shindigs site works would be nice. I did click on several things to experiment. By clicking on the mingle button at the bottom you could search for users by name and then join them in a "room". With that you could have a chat on the side. It worked pretty well and I can see a lot of benefit to using it more in the future.
I saw you on there and tried to join your room but had trouble getting in.  I got into A's room finally.  Then I lost the audio for the FDO but had audio for everyone else.  Heard your question but not the FDO's response.  :-)

It was great to see you. It is too bad you couldn't hear Bella in our chat.
Yes, it was. Oh well, I'm sure there will be a "next time". :)

It almost seemed like there were multiple "rooms" and once you were in one, you couldn't join another without leaving the first. We also couldn't figure out a way to invite people into "our" room...

I know.  I had a hard time leaving one room to try and get into another.  When I first got into the room I could hear Scott reading but then when they started letting people ask questions, I couldn't hear the questions.  I left one room and finally got into another and then I could her the person asking the question but not Scott's response.  LOL!  I tried lip reading but that didn't go so well so I just left. ;-)

I had a similar problem. I left and came back. That fixed my sound.

It was a real fun virtual tour - I was really impressed with the site and the reading/Q&A. (I was "JunaGlow") It was glitchy from time to time and I had to leave/re-enter a few times, but overall a fun time! Wouldn't it be cool to arrange a G+ hangout sometime with all the junkies to look at/comment/discuss our new *girthy* copies of Nocturnal? I'd love to hang out virtually more often with fellow junkies.

Hey Junkies! 

If you're interested in helping make Shindig a better experience by building the platform,  we'd appreciate it if you'd fill out the feedback form!  This will even help us help ourselves for when we revisit the virtual tour for the East Side portion of 2012.

You can find the feedback form here

It's short, and is even for folks who couldn't log all the way in.  THANKS!

Overall, I thought the experience was awesome! But I filled out the feedback form and gave a few suggestions.
