Sure.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think it's always nice to buy one at the store that is supporting our tour.
This was my theory. (Along with there being a zillion people in Seattle and I want to represent Portland, yo.) I didn't buy a copy at the opening, but will at Powell's. Also because given the choice between local and chain, I'd like to think I'd remember to buy local.
Unless Gordito's opens other branches. I'd be all over that being a chain.

They have 28 copies, according to the woman who answered the phone.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My local B&N had 3 copies and I bought 2.

Excellent, will buy one there.

Thanks, Perkins.
Here's hoping we sell out again.

I'm getting the pig!
I will gladly paypal someone to buy me a copy at one of the signings. I could order it online but I'd rather support the places that are having Jilli and Pete come in. And having the book signed, well, that's just a huge bonus.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I picked up another copy at the Bellingham B&N today, and told the woman at customer service who trekked me through the store to find it (lifestyles, bottom shelf, but faced out) that she should be hand-selling it, and it should be in "New in Paperback" at the front of the store. The cashier looked it over with interest, and I gushed a bit and suggested she take a closer look and possibly put it someplace more prominent in the store. I doubt the conversation stayed with the customer service woman longer than my back stayed in her sight, but the cashier looked interested. We can but hope.
Jilli, I'ma collect an autograph at some point when most of the launch-and-promote crazy is done, is that okay?

Yeah - our B&N was carrying it in "Cultural Studies" and nowhere near the front of the store.

Borders it was on the paperback favorites shelf. Not the one facing the door but still.
Even if you know where it is, asking a staff member to help find it is a good way of alerting them to its existence.
