Goliath Tour (early draft)

Posted on by scott

Here at last are the dates for my upcoming tour for Goliath, which comes out September 20.

As always: I’m very sorry if I’m not coming to your city/town/iceberg, but rest assured that this is NOT because I don’t love you all; it’s because you outnumber me.

Here we go.

TO PREVENT CONFUSION, TOUR INFORMATION HAS BEEN MOVED FROM HERE TO MY APPEARANCES PAGE. Go there to check on dates, times, and places.

Can’t wait to see you guys.

  4. Yes, it’s sad that I get no Chicago, but this is the first time I’ve missed you guys. Also sad about missing FL and PA, but at least I got to those states for the first two books.

  5. I know you say you have no choice in where you go, but for the love of Darwin, is there any place I can leave a suggestion or ask nicely for Las Vegas to be added to your tour? I just don’t understand how such a major city has never been on your tours 🙁

  6. I’d like Las Vegas too. No one ever comes to Vegas. Do we have a reputation that is that bad?
    That’s 2 votes for Vegas!

  8. You know, I’m honestly not sure. I shop at Border’s (not for much longer, apparently D:) but if not there or a Barnes&Noble, the library district? I don’t know how tour organization goes, but I know the library district hosts lots of events out here , especially when involving children and young readers.

  9. I was at your changing hands event 2 years ago I am so excited to get the complete series signed! Your B&N event is so close to my house but no one throws a party like Changing Hands! Maybe I will go to both.

  19. Aw,no Virginia? Guess I’ll have to eat the chocolate by myself….have fun on your tour, Scott!

  22. Too bad you’re not coming to Virginia! That’s where all the cool cats are, you know.

    But I hope you have an awesome tour anyways; that’s a lot of places!

  23. AHHHH! You’re coming to St paul! I live very close to the Red Balloon bookstore so I’ll probably go to that one.

    The MOA is pretty big, but pretty “normal” to me. You should try some of the rides there!!

    I’m so happy you’re stopping in MN this time! <3

  27. No Pittsburgh! I’ll have to drive NYC. It’s only 7 hours driving according to mapquest (:

    But it’s cool that you get to go to some of the places that don’t get to see you as much.

  28. Ah! You finally come close to me in Cali, and it’s my first day back at school where I have classed until 8. Bummer.

  29. oh I hope my preorder of Goliath comes in time >.> It will be cutting it close with the dates, knowing how unreliable shipping is these days!

  32. Lalala, oh, Mr. Scottla has put up a schedule for his tour! *sigh* Minnesota- why you so remote? WOAH! STOP- HOLD THE PHONE!

    THREE stops in the Twin Cities? I COULD GO TO ALL THREE OF THOSE!

    MR SCOTT WESTERFELD SIR- YOU JUST MADE ONE OF THE CRAPPIEST DAYS OF MY SUMMER THE BEST! I’ll see you at one of those signings and I will bring you fresh fanart!

  34. Ahhh.. I don’t get to bake for you and your lovely wife again? But I’ve got more delicious recipes for you!!!! Truly!!! Maybe you could sneak back to Alabama for a flying visit?

  35. I thought your St. Louis, MO event was going to be at the St. Louis County Library Headquarters location at 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd? The only reason I would know is I happened to be at the library and see a flier for your event right before I saw this post.

  36. SCOTTTTTT this has made me sooooo happy! Ur coming back to mrs. Nelsons and its on the day I have off work!! *happy dance*

  37. My uncle is a truck driver…I’ve got to convince him to take me to one of the tours because PA didn’t make the list. 🙁

  38. I’m so sad I won’t be able to see you in Vancouver, because I’m only here for the summer. 🙁

  39. California fans are really grateful, their so glad that you could go there those who are going to see you put your hands up… :):):)

  40. Wow, so many stops in Minnesota and none in Wisconsin. That’s too bad. But I get why, you are going to be traveling to like, every part of the US, and it isn’t like you can hit every state. Have fun Scott!

  41. @scotty-la
    ya, have fun, but not to much because u won’t see me, also, will u be doing a sequal series for leviathan? that would be sooooooo cool

  42. Bleh the closest one to me is about 3 hours away at the same time I have a tennis practice…sigh.

  46. Scott-la, you need to come to New York’s capital (Albany) for me to meet you and get you to sign my books! ^_^ No way my parents will drive me to NYC…PLEASE come up north!! (:

  47. Sadness…. so close and yet so far! In Texas but nowhere near me. Why can’t you come to Dallas? ah maybe next time. I suppose it’s impossible to see allllll of your fans since there are just so many wonderful people.

  50. Ohio or Savannah Georgia, please. Please. PLEASE!!! ;-;

    (Georgia has nice vacation spots, you know. You could always just take a break and vacation in GA, then stop by SCAD and be awesome and stuff so I can meet you… :D)

  52. Yaaaay! Your coming to Austin and Round Rock! Maybe this year, I will actually buy the book and have you sign it. Time to start searching for a bowler hat…..

  53. I hate to add to the list of fan complaints, but there are so many Westerfans in the ever-so-neglected Indiana!

    But Goliath was such an awesome series end, I may have to slide over to the NY event come October…

  55. Don’t take this as a complaint but why do you hate Ohio? The Wright brothers are from Ohio which makes us steampunk-ish. And yet… *sigh of sadness*

  57. YES! You’re coming to vancouver again!!!!
    PLEASE let it be sky train accessible this time :p
    I mean-it was rather hard to get there when it was in point grey. That’s really far away and I can only drive one person with me.And there are three of us. Problem! :p
    Please be at metrotown!

  62. oohhhhhh, you’re so close I can practically smell the hydrogen in the air already!!!!!!!! I WILL GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF PHOENIX OR MY NAME ISN’T TAMARA-LA!!!! (Which it isn’t, but my overwhelming sorrow would make the adorning “-la” in my name wither, fall off, and die if I don’t get to attend!) I knew I should have gotten my license during the summer!… *grumble, grumble* procrastinator *grumble*… But no need to fret Scott-la, I will ride a Huxley in the middle of a sandstorm if I have to!!!

  63. AW-ERS! No Birmingham, Alabama, again this year? I am throughly saddened, Scott-la. Still, it was an honor to meet my favorite author! Have fun on tour! And nevertheless, I will be buying my goliath copy first thing! :DDD

  64. Why don’t you like New England Scott-la? :'( If it’s at all possible you should try and make a pit-stop in Boston or even Portsmouth, NH? *hintidy-hint* We have a real nice Barnes & Noble. 😉 But enjoy your tour Scott-la, I’ll just wallow in my in my Scottlessness… And yes, that’s a word now.

  65. are you suuuuure you won’t head up to MA? Boston has me, HPF, TTB and a load of other fans…

  66. Holy. Crap. Shoot me in the freaking. Face.

    You’re comming here? To Missouri? Probably the most boring state in the country? To a boring city where the only place to hang out closes at 9 pm? Where one of the only sources of entertainment is to pants mannequins in Hollister and constantly refill our freebie cup at Teavana?

    That is so freaking mint.

    I feel like it’s Christmas and Halloween all at the same time. :3

  69. ARRRGH!!!

    you come to california the days that I’ll be leaving for boarding school!!

    CURSE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!

    and im going to NEW ENGLAND!! *cries*

    lol jk ill just have to look at my friends with their books on fb and sulk lol

  72. So the closest you’ll be to KY is Kansas City. Which is funny because a few years ago my best friend and I made a trip there and went to Rainy Day Books to see an author we really liked. Unfortunately, that won’t be happening this time around (I have a real job that I am not allowed out of). So, I’m really sad :’-(

  73. OMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMOGMOGMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOMOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMOGMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMOGMOAJRHFJDKSHFUREIOSARBJEAILBFJIAHFJDISLFBNDKASLFHJDKSALHFJD You’re coming to Arizona! I’m so happy! Thank you thank you thank you! Tempe and Mesa are kind of far away from Scottsdale (heh) but whatever….thank you for coming and visiting probably one of the hottest and least exciting states (at least in the southern area of Arizona….we don’t have all the tourism of Sedona and the Grand Canyon) in the west!!!!

  76. Aw, nothing even remotely close to me.
    I’m so mad I didn’t get to go to the one in Miami last time. No way I’m going to be allowed to fly up the NYC from Naples. Curses!
    Well have fun at least, can’t wait for Goliath!

  78. at first I thought that I’d have to settle for seattle… but no! the great scott westerfeld is coming to MY hometown(portland,OR)! TWICE!!! also.. is it possible to get all three books signed?

  79. Yes!!!!!
    Of course we live in the same city!
    (I’m so lucky :3 all this takes is a short subway ride!)
    YAY! I CANT WAIT!

  80. Oh. My. Gosh. Scottla is coming to St. Louis. Webster Grvoves to be exact, but hey, who is complaining? I will be there Scott Westerffeld, of die trying…

  81. Have you ever considered coming to Alaska? We never get any authors up here, and I’m sure you would have a great time!

  82. What about good old Connecticut? ah well i’ll just go to NYC WOOT!!! I GET TO MEET AN AUTHOR I LOVE WOOOT!!!!!! have fun with your tour!!

  83. If we want our copy of Goliath signed, do we have to mail-order it for all of the events? (*cough cough specifically St. Paul cough cough*) Or just for the Books of Wonder event? How does this mysterious, enchanted process work??

    [book signing n00b here, don’t mind me)

  86. OMG! You’re coming to Arizona! I have told my BFF and you will see us fangirling at Changing Hands. I’m actually going to be ditching my night class to come see you. I am so excited! XD

  88. Please, please, please, please, PLEASE look into coming to the DC area (that is, if you want!) during the tour! It’s my absolute DREAM to meet you and I don’t think I’ll be able to talk my mom into taking me to New York! Lol

  89. Question for you Scott! If I bring books from home, how many are we allowed to have you sign? Or can I only buy a book from the bookstore in order for you to sign it?
    I’ll *hopefully* be able to come to Minneapolis. SUPER EXCITED that one of my favorite authors is coming around where I live! I may live four hours away, but I just don’t care! 😀

  90. I am in Dallas.

    You are coming to Austin, and Round Rock.

    I DON’T CARE.

    I SHALL DRIVE MY PARENTS INSANE, AND MAKE THEM FLY ME THERE. (We gets to fly standby!)

    They did it for Brian Jacques. THEY SHALL DO IT FOR YOU!!!!

    I would drive, since I’m old enough and all, buuuut…I not have license. Nor will for a long time, at that matter. (There. Is. No. Time. To. Learn!)

    Plus, I have no sense of direction.

    This is dire. Absolutely dire.

    Also, you’re from Texas? That rocks!!

    I shall see you there! Hopefully. Maybe. I dunno. BUT I WILL TRY.

    (…Wow…a little caps lock heavy in this post…eh.)

  91. VonEbs-
    It’s not Webster Groves! The address has been changed. (See above.)

    Cassidy F-
    You don’t have to mail order anything if you’re coming to an event. Just bring your books. (It’s nice to buy them at the store, but you don’t have to. The mail order thing is for people who want one held for them, or who can’t come and want one SHIPPED to them.)

    All-
    Sorry the Forum is being weird again. I haz people on it.

  92. Ohmigosh! I saw Oregon and SQUEALED!!!! 😀

    Maybe mam will be sellin a pup on one of those days and I can go with her to the city…

    …..nope. Sunday. DANG YOU WESTERFELD!!! D:

  95. YAY! You’re coming to NY! I just realized how lucky I am to live just outside the city though… lots of authors stop there on tours! Now I just need a ride…

  96. I am dying, Scott. I am DYING. XD seriously the best birthday ever, just coming to this website and seeing this =3= because I’m going to New York in October soooo *cough* If I can convince my parents to go a day early my life will be complete~

  101. @Jessica: Strange….Missouri sounds a lot like Virginia…except we cart joust at Wegmans and Target for kicks.

  102. UGH. You might be coming to my state (New York), but I happen to live on the OTHER SIDE OF IT in Buffalo. Even if i had a ride to NYC (which I do not) it is an 8 hour drive 🙁

  104. Scott-la,everyone, are you all ok??????? The earthquake was really bad over here in Va (I blame the Clankers. They always were up to no good.)

  105. Scott-la…would you be freaked if I asked you to sign 12 of your books (several which may be in tatters from over-reading, if there is such a thing)?

  106. omg, heard bout earthquake in north eastern area, i hates earthquakes! but i live in the middle of ilinois, so we never have em’

    @wordmaster
    i jelous, i try to do cool stuff, but i got “detention” from my dad when he founded out. hes a teacher, and sayz weird crap like that, like hes at school!
    it was funny tho

  107. @sharpie: well, I tend to stay out of trouble. Other people I know however….

    Just hope everyone in the northeast is okay.

  108. I felt the earthquake as a gentle swaying, and assumed it was a big truck on the street or something. Justine, sitting next to me, didn’t notice it.

    In short, there was panic and rivers of blood.

  110. Finally, I can now go back to schoolwork in peace!!!! (The teacher will either be thrilled, or annoyed that THIS was what was so important….) Now a very important question:
    DO YOU LIKE YOUR PRESENTS WRAPPED OR NOT??????

  112. @alexis: only problem would be trying to get INTO d.c. I live close by, but traffic is AWFUL during the week.

    @scott-la: funny, I thought it was a truck too. Until my chair started vibrating….20 second massage from NATURE!
    Va starting quakes…like a boss!

  113. It really saddens me that Australia isn’t even anywhere near that list! Is there anyway that I can convince you to come over here to do a tour!?

  116. As I mentioned, I live in Buffalo, in a small and ancient house. My house is SO small and ancient that if something goes wrong with the dryer, the whole bottom floor vibrates. That’s what I thought the earthquake was.

  117. YAY! I have already puppy-eyes-ed my dad into driving me to the city!!!!! YAHOOTIE!!!!!!!!! *starts searching for bowler hat*

  118. Good info and right to the point. I don’t know if this is really the best place to ask but do you people have any ideea where to get some professional writers? Thx 🙂
