Here at last is the info on my big Leviathan tour. But first the bad news: I’m probably not coming to your home town.
Why not? Well, I can’t go everywhere. In fact, I can only go to a tiny sliver of this gigantic country, even in five weeks of hard touring. So most of you will be disappointed. I AM SORRY ABOUT THIS. (As for other countries: There are plans for the UK, France, and Australia. But no details yet.)
Luckily for me, I cannot be blamed! This schedule was created by the giant S&S computer known only as TourTron, and I have no power over TourTron. No one does.
Here’s the good news, though, for those of you who live within the tiny sliver. I’ll have a couple of special guests on many of my events. One of them you know quite well: Robin Wasserman, author of Skinned and Crashed. You may remember her from this IMterview, and her week of guest blogging here.
My other guest will be Sarah Reese Brennan, author of Demon’s Lexicon, which I liked enough to give a big fat blurb to. She’s a wonderful writer of fan fic as well as YA, and has a hilarious blog. I’ll be IMterviewing her here soon.
Each event says who will be there—me and Sarah, me and Robin, or me alone.
And now for the schedule!
Can’t wait to see you guys!
September 22nd, 2009 07:51
No Las Vegas:(
One of these days, I will go to a signing event! I swear to it!
September 22nd, 2009 07:52
YAY! I’ll be seeing you in LA. =D But oh my gosh, how are you guys going to be in La Verne at 4 and then Torrance at 7? O_O It takes over an hour to get there without traffic. xD ah well. (:
September 22nd, 2009 07:57
See you in Jersey!!!
September 22nd, 2009 08:00
damn no Mall of AMERICA!!!…its AMERICA’S mall!!!
September 22nd, 2009 08:03
AHH. My school gets out at 3:30 so I could only make the Torrance one MAYBE… but it’s so far away… D:
I WILL FIND A WAY!
September 22nd, 2009 08:04
NOOOO!! Curse school days! Why 4:00 on a Friday?! I’d never make it in time to San Fran! THE HORROR!
September 22nd, 2009 08:05
syracuse…
*sigh*
I must get into NYU *twitch*
then I’ll be in the centre of the universe and never miss a Westerfeld event in the city
September 22nd, 2009 08:09
are your early november canadian appearances still on?
September 22nd, 2009 08:09
Darn no MN! I’d love to come see you. Maybe next time???? Please!!!
September 22nd, 2009 08:10
You’re right, I won’t be seeing you!! But have a blast anyway!!
September 22nd, 2009 08:10
By the way, Bre-la –
skip
September 22nd, 2009 08:26
No midwest cities?!
gosh darn it.
September 22nd, 2009 08:37
But… but… no Canada?! Plans for UK, France and Australia but no Canada? I’m saddened. Maybe next time!
September 22nd, 2009 08:54
Gahhhh! What do you think is the bet that I’ll somehow find somebody to drive me nearly two hours to LA on a school night!?!?! Why can’t I be half a year older and able to drive alone by now??? GRR! We’ll see about this. We shall see.
September 22nd, 2009 09:43
Noooooooo!!!
Nothing ever happens in Michigan…
September 22nd, 2009 11:14
I’ll definitly be at the Torrance event.
Soooo excited.
September 22nd, 2009 12:00
Oh wow, weekdays. Grrr. If it had been a weekend I’m sure I could have finagled someone into driving me two hours to Torrance, but a Wednesday during rush hour, not so much. Disappointing, I suppose I’ll have to wait until another time.
Unless, you know, you wanted to pick me up. I’d totally chip in on gas!
Well, no, I’m totally broke… but I’d make sandwiches!
Veggie ones, of course, since I’m not exactly keen on touching meat…
But, um, totally. Pick me up. It’d be peachy.
September 22nd, 2009 14:44
Plans for Australia? Sweeeeeet! I know I’ve met you one already, but hey, there’s no such thing as too many times to meet you favourite author
September 22nd, 2009 15:09
just remember to drink lots of water and stay healthy!!!
SO looking forward to this!!!!
*does happy Snoopy dance*
September 22nd, 2009 16:20
Awwwwww come on your going to Miami can’t you stop in Birmingham, Alabama?!?!?!
September 22nd, 2009 16:36
I guess I’ll have to wait until the tour for Behemoth…Everyone else have fun! Are your tours paid for my S&S?
Reasons to Move to New York:
1. Awesome Authorness
2. Ethnic food at 3AM in those cute little boxes
3. Shiny Things
4. Things to do.
Sarah Ayelet: I know, Michigan is lame with a capital ‘L’. And when Justine was in Michigan, the place was finally slightly cool.
everyone have a good day!
September 22nd, 2009 17:49
obviously tour tron doesn’t like the midwest. Do all the intellectuals live in the cool cities on the coast?
September 22nd, 2009 17:52
Could tour tron be…. persuaded…. in the future? say, bunches of people from the midwest buy your books.. or we could just go and intimidate it. Intimidation always works.
September 22nd, 2009 18:10
Seconding what Katie Bell said. Are those still going on, or were they dropped?
September 22nd, 2009 18:11
Tour Tron has to be having some technical flaws. Because Philly’s missing from the tour list. Is there anyway I can fix these techinical issues? *begins plans of a covert operation, involving inputting Philly within the tour list*
September 22nd, 2009 18:32
Darn, no Texas stops. Well at least my cousin in AZ will be happy.
September 22nd, 2009 19:13
I added the Canadian dates in, even though they’re not finalized. Oops, sorry I forgot to mention them!
September 22nd, 2009 19:57
why no Dallas, Scott? why!!!!!!!!!! stupid tourtron!
September 22nd, 2009 20:03
why are you mostly on the west coast? (Hey mom, you that vacation you wanted to take, lets go to Los Angeles, on… Oct 6th! please…..)
September 22nd, 2009 20:05
yippee
you’re coming to Toronto and with two of my other favourite authors to boot – we’re part of STAGE 10 so i’m sure you’ll be sick of travel by then…going to be great though
September 22nd, 2009 20:20
OH MY GOD! ITS MEANT TO BE!! I LIVE CLOSE TO BOSTON AND MY STEPMOM LOVES UGLIES TOO AND THE ONE NIGHT I SEE HER AND MY DAD IS MONDAY, WHICH IS THE DAY HE IS COMING TO BOSTON! MY LIFE HAS BEEN MADE!!!!!! SEE YOU SOON SCOTT!!!!!!

September 22nd, 2009 21:52
UKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUK!
September 22nd, 2009 22:02
So I can blame this computer for why no authors come within 200, 500 miles of me? Still doesn’t make much sense why they would skip the entire American south..
September 22nd, 2009 22:03
Well, I guess I won’t be going to any of those events. They’re all too far.
Oh well, maybe I can make it to a signing on your next tour.
September 22nd, 2009 23:55
Ah,, Robin isn’t gonna be with you in AZ? That’s still cool, I didn’t even knew they’re with you anyway. See you in Oct. 14 in AZ Scott! ;D

September 23rd, 2009 06:29
Can we still go if we didn’t read Leviathan? or don’t know anything about it?

I AM SO EXCITED. Yeah!
September 24th, 2009 00:16
HMMMMMMM…….when i find out the actual times of the Washington DC dates maybe i can go….or if i can convince my mom to go to NYC for a day..i’ll be in good shape *crosses fingers*. i still wish you were coming to Philly Scott Westerfeld
it’s cool. the one time i thought you were going to be there with your wife you ended up having mouth surgery and i was majorly bummed but still it was cool! i really wanna see you in person though! 
i wrote something today in my reading/writing workshop about Uglies and we only have 45 minutes so obviously i didn’t finish cause there was just too much to say!!! hahahaha
GREEN DAY ROCKS!!!! <3
September 24th, 2009 00:41
Nooo! Scott Westerfeld!!! Why?! I was so excited for the tour schedule! Alas… Authors never come to the midwest. It’s great here! I promise! Sigh… maybe next time. =(
September 24th, 2009 01:16
This is so bogus! Why, why doesn’t anyone care about us little towns? Wahhhh! U hear that little sighing noise? it was my last hope of meeting u, drifting away in the breeze… Oh, well, maybe next time…
September 24th, 2009 02:13
Ok Ive never met anyone famous and ur not coming close enough to denver. I mean if I can can get my mom to drive me like 780 miles to Tempe, AZ or fly there, then I’ll be happy. Well that dreams not happenin! Super sad. *long dramtic sigh*
September 24th, 2009 03:13
Yay, Seattle! Hopefully that date is finalized soon — I’m really going to try and come (might not be able to convince my parents to bring me to that in the same week they have to take me to a poetry reading… gahhh).
September 24th, 2009 03:55
Why does TourTron hate the midwest? Why? I’ll hope to see you sometime, but this tour is not it.
September 24th, 2009 07:07
TORONTO! YAY! and Cassandra Clare too, that’s beyond incredible
September 24th, 2009 08:26
FINALLY! YOU COME TO WASHINGTON. I live in Wenatchee which is like 3 hours away from Seattle, which is TOTALLY
September 24th, 2009 08:27
lol um my message got cut off but as I was saying….WHICH IS TOTALLY WORTH IT! but you need dates, pleaaaaaaaaase!
September 24th, 2009 08:29
Yay! I’m soooo glad that you’re coming out to Tempe. I’m going to have to mark my calendar for the 14th.
Your books are amazing and have been such an inspiration for my artwork.
September 24th, 2009 08:54
Oy. What is with the lack of Nashville, Tennessee on that list?! We get country stars, sure. Miley Cyrus (kinda) lives here. Big. Freakin. Whoop. But awesome authors?? Nooooo…
I’ll just have to sit at home one of those nights and ceremoniously re-read Uglies and The Midnighters. Yes. I will do that.
September 25th, 2009 00:05
SCOTT-LA! IF YOU GO TO THE UK TO TOUR I WILL SOOOO BE THERE!! I MEAN, I COULD MAKE LONDON… BUT ANY CITIES IN THE SOUTH WEST, AND I WOULD DIE!!
*faints*
Ahem, now that I am back to normal…
You would make many people happy if you came to tea-a-gogo-land some day, Scott-la.
September 25th, 2009 02:25
so yeah u totally skipped SacTown Ca
ITS THE CAPITAL REMEMBER?!?!?!?!
im sorry but i have alotta anger on this issue cause EVERYONE goes to LA(or MAYBE San Fransico) but no sacramento=/

September 25th, 2009 03:02
I just want to send you a *HIGH FIVE* for coming to CANADA!!! You are my hero, dude, and I can’t wait to meet you in person. And with HOLLY BLACK?! This is going to be the greatest day of my life.
September 25th, 2009 06:30
I’m going on October 7th to LaVerne… AHH! I’m going to assume there will be a book signing and bring my well-loved copy of Uglies, as well as my friend. I’m taking her for her birthday present and buying her a copy of Leviathan, so I REALLY hope you’ll be signing! I mean… Best. Birthday present. EVER.
SEE YOU IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AHH!
September 26th, 2009 01:15
OH MY GOSH!!!
I didn’t realize that the tour was so soon!!!! I get out of school at 3:50 and it’s about 10 minutes away from LaVerne. I wish I could hoverboard but I’ll get my boyfriend to be my chauffeur and drive like the WIND.
AHHHHHH I’m so EXCITED
<3 <3 <3
thank you thank you thank you
September 26th, 2009 01:29
Scott, are you going to the Downtown library in Chandler, AZ, too? The library says that you will be there from 2:00-4:00pm on Oct. 14th. If you are, how is this going to be different from the event at Changing Hands?
Thanks.
September 26th, 2009 02:47
did i mention i was ECSTATIC for you to be in LAVERNE?!!!!!!?! I think i’ll drop by mrs. nelson’s next week and stake out my place

September 29th, 2009 01:02
Exactly what location will the Toronto signing be? I will go, no matter where! But… Where?
September 29th, 2009 01:09
if you’re going to san francisco
make sure to wear some flowers in your hair!
September 29th, 2009 02:35
OMFG! I am so excited for you guys to come to Ottawa! I am a HUGE fan of you and Cassandra. This just made my book word self SO happy. I’ve never been met an author either so meeting two of my favs is AMAZING!
September 29th, 2009 02:39
I think you should be in the U.K now!
You could be signing them now.
Or by the way the book cover for your book only has two votes on my blog
could do with some more!
September 29th, 2009 03:32
One thing that wasn’t mentioned on your tour list…
Does it cost anything to see you?
I’ve never been to this kind of thing before, but I want to know what kind of strings I need to pull (haha) or what kind of mile long line I need to stand in to see you.
What is the price to see the fabulous Scott Westerfeld and wonderful Holly Black?
September 29th, 2009 03:49
for the Toronto one, where will the tickets be online?
September 29th, 2009 19:59
Any tours to chicago by chance?
September 30th, 2009 04:20
I can’t believe it! I will be in DC at the exact right time. It’s meant to be. This is sooooooooooo exciting!
September 30th, 2009 05:31
You know, the song Use Somebody by Kings of Leon reminds me of Peeps, how she likes how Cal speaks, and she basically uses him XD
October 1st, 2009 03:24
haha oops…I commented on the wrong entry before…meant for that to be on here haha
October 1st, 2009 03:33
HOLY CRAP SCOTT WESTERFELD IS COMING TO DANBURY CONNECTICUT *HYPERVENTILATES*
I was seriously just hyperventilating. My mother told me to stop before I hurt myself.
I am ecstatic. Beyond ecstatic. I am… I’m… hmm… what’s a good word for it…? I KNOW! I’m ICY :K
Holy Crap I live in Danbury CT and I am DEFINITELY GOING TO HIJACK A CAR TO GO TO THIS!!!! (kidding… Not really but I will get my mom to bring me!)
October 1st, 2009 03:55
Sorry I was so excited but nothing ever happens in Danbury… it all happens in either NYC or Hartford and getting to either is a hassle for my mom… so I’m super excited that this one is nearby!!!
October 1st, 2009 12:03
Ahhh woohoo! Upon further research La Verne isn’t too far from me! I’m definitely going to try to go to that one…:)
October 1st, 2009 18:58
hey!

October 2nd, 2009 00:04
What about Detroit? :O
October 2nd, 2009 02:34
I am SOOOO excited that you’re coming to Ottawa! See you there
October 2nd, 2009 02:42

Can’t wait to see you Scott… I made my friend read Uglies and she liked the book a lot, so I’m dragging her with me (well, she agreed to go without the dragging part, she’s excited to see you too) so we can both see you. This is amazing… Nothing ever happens around here ^w^
September 5th, 2010 02:53
Hey Scott I came to one of these tours in DC(: You better remember me(just kidding, you’ve probably seen tons of people. But anyway I can’t wait for the Behemoth tour! I’m sending the TourTron mindwaves asking it to send you to Pittsburgh or somewhere nearby at least!
