Tailgate Tour cities (and T-shirts!)

ROOKIE

Junkies, the time has come to close out the ROOKIE Tailgate Tour. This time out, we've moved to Facebook for event info and tracking:

SAN FRANCISCO: January 9, 3:00pm: Borderlands Books

Please make sure you go r.s.v.p. if you're coming out!

And, in reponse to the many requests, we're putting the ROOKIE Tailgate Tour "Property of Krakens" tees on-sale here on the site. These are updated to include the new tour dates, but otherwise the same as the tees we sold at the earlier tour stops. (Read also: they are suh-weet!) Please click the link below to snag your very own.

December 20th, 2009 update: If you want a Tailgate Tour tee, don't delay. We've got fewer than 90 remaining, and won't be doing another print run once they're gone!

RTT Houston: Synaptic Jam, MuchAdo, Treed, the FDO™ and some sweet Krakens tees

"Lineman-size" Junkies take note: We will only have S, M, L, XL & XXL at the California tour stops, but you XXX-Large (and up) Junkies can order here by entering your special request in the instructions section.

If you have any questions, just email AlphaGirl and she'll help sort it out for you.

For Cryptmas

Houston Tailgate Stop!!! H-Junkie Shout Out

On September 17th, 2009 (07:50 GMT) SynapticJam (MC) says:

Houston Junkies! Hop on over to this thread and let us know if you're coming... http://www.scottsigler.com/node/3195

hhhmmm... SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK) #4 in crack hits (Special? Ain't I just) Multiple S.H.I.T. Award Recipient! Double Dipper and Triple Threat! All-around uberjunkie!

On September 14th, 2009 (20:16 GMT) Bob (HM) says:

confirmed today there is no way i can make the NY stop, which was the only option. total bummer. :-(

Thanks for coming!!

On September 14th, 2009 (07:49 GMT) TitusCooker says:

From Ann Arbor, we had a great time with you yesterday. Good information about the state of publishing industry, and how you are changing things up. Hope your tailgate continues to rock and that you eventually get to sleep. I was the guy in the homebrewer shirt giving you crappy questions (killer yeast?). Next book tour, give us a heads up and we can likely get some tickets to a UM game (that is, if you aren't staying over in GR). --titus

Gonna be in Cincy tomorrow.

On September 13th, 2009 (12:13 GMT) foolkiller79 says:

I managed a half day off work to make the drive up from Louisville, KY and will be there. I will likely show up early because Cincy traffic at 5:30 PM is a nightmare, especially if you are coming across the river. Now to figure out how to get to Champions.

Who all is gonna be at the Houston stop?

On September 8th, 2009 (12:22 GMT) SynapticJam (MC) says:

Cause, ya know... I'm just askin'... ya know...

cannot wait until the 13th

On September 8th, 2009 (10:04 GMT) tbnorris says:

cannot wait until the 13th Ann Arbor is about to come down with some rookie fever!!!! I am so psyched up. -t

Fever for the flavor of a Sigler?

On September 10th, 2009 (06:16 GMT) TitusCooker says:

I hope that fever doesn't sport any triangles... See you Sunday!

Wanna carpool to the Chicago tailgate?

On September 8th, 2009 (07:45 GMT) jerryharrington says:

Hey, IL junkies, I live in the fairly far northern suburb of Libertyville and was wondering if anyone else is up here who would like to carpool the hour and fifteen down to Aurora in a couple days? If so, reply here with contact info or email me jerry [at] jerryharrington [dot] net.

The FDO Invades Alabama

On September 7th, 2009 (20:53 GMT) belugaboy says:

The Birmingham AL stop on the Rookie tour saw what has to be the nicest and down-to-Earth authors on the planet meeting with a few of us Junkies. Thanks Scott, the conversation was good and you clearly care about your fans. The wait will be painful, but I eagerly anticipate the work you have coming out for us in the next decade or so (or at least before I get too old and can't stop drooling). I urge everyone to go meet the FDO now since in a few years (while his boots are pressing against our prone bodies) these events will be too big for any personal attention. And don't forget to talk to A as well. She and Scott are at the forefront of a monumental shift in publishing and it will be nice to one day say, "I talked to them before they were famous!" Good luck to you both.

Birmingham or Montgomery

On September 5th, 2009 (11:00 GMT) belugaboy says:

Someone commented on Eventful that they called the Birmingham Dreamland BBQ place and they were not aware of anything for Monday night. It's another hour drive for me so it would be nice to know where to go. Any clarification??????

It's in Birmingham. Sorry had the wrong Dreamland

On September 5th, 2009 (19:06 GMT) scottsigler (FD∅™) says:

It is in Birmingham, just updated the Eventful information.

Thanks for a great evening

On September 7th, 2009 (19:11 GMT) Varzil says:

Thanks for a great evening Scott. It was plenty of fun and I really enjoyed the great conversation.

Looking forward to your next work and reading The Starter next year.

Roll Tide Roll!!!!!

Otis B. Driftwood: Boy, the next word that comes out of your mouth better be some brilliant fuckin' Mark Twain shit. 'Cause it's definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone.

Thanks for the update.

On September 5th, 2009 (20:18 GMT) Varzil says:

See you Monday.

Thanks much

On September 5th, 2009 (19:02 GMT) belugaboy says:

Thanks Scott, that's why you are the FDO and I expect some Eventful personnel

will be doing some time in the FDO underground torture chamber.

See you Monday night.

The Eventful employees have been liquidated

On September 5th, 2009 (22:28 GMT) scottsigler (FD∅™) says:

Discipline has been enforced.

Confusion of where in Alabama

On September 4th, 2009 (08:08 GMT) Varzil says:

Is it the Birmingham Dreamland or the Montgomery Dreamland? Because your blog lists Birmingham and Eventful lists Montgomery and on Wednesday, Eventful listed the Birmingham Location. Please clear it up. Oh, and I just finished reading my signed copy of Rookie. I loved it!!!!

Awww, no Northeast?

On September 4th, 2009 (06:34 GMT) Fred (not verified) says:

Would love to see love for Portland, Maine or at least Boston! Better luck next time, I guess... or road trip to NYC

Yo Scott.

On September 2nd, 2009 (13:26 GMT) n8man (KISS) says:

You're gonna have to postpone the St. Louis stop for a day. Blink 182 switched the date of their concert here to the 29th and I already bought my (expensive) ticket.

Nate Dogg... The only signature I need is my fist.

Not to offend, but I'm a mouthy female dog

On September 6th, 2009 (07:38 GMT) Hollia says:

I have a better Idea, n8man, sell your Blink 182 ticket and support a truly original and independent artist/author (i.e. Scott Sigler). He's doing it himself for you and the rest of us junkies!! I am almost offended by your post (not really, but I thought I'd add that as an extra bit of in-your-face-oomph). No offense! Just thought I'd put my unwanted 2 cents into the pot.

I feel your pain

On September 3rd, 2009 (10:18 GMT) jcope (MC) says:

Dogg, I feel your pain. I have expensive Creed tickets for the night the FDO comes to Houston. Considering they haven't been in concert in years and I've been fortunate to see the FDO a couple times, Creed wins out this time, but just barely.

No can do, Dog

On September 3rd, 2009 (06:51 GMT) scottsigler (FD∅™) says:

Blink182 is clearly an enemy of Siglerism. Can't change the date, my friend. STL is the last stop and I fly back to San Francisco the next day.

Who all is going to the Norman, OK tailgate?

SWWEEETTT!!!!!!!! ST.

On September 1st, 2009 (01:57 GMT) The Mysterious One (not verified) says:

SWWEEETTT!!!!!!!! ST. LOUIS!!!!!! I'll definitely be there!!!!!!!!

St Louis

On September 21st, 2009 (07:13 GMT) Al (not verified) says:

Looking forward to St Louis! Any one else?

OH-DOW! A pink shirt. . .

On August 31st, 2009 (22:35 GMT) kord616 says:

And here I thought the shirts would be pink just to see how dedicated junkies were to the mindless following of Pope Siglericus. Almost freaked out thinking I wouldn't be able to get one since the shortest drive would be 3 hours, but then I actually read and saw that Atlanta is during DragonCon. The FDO never fails to impress with his brilliant planning and always delivering content on time. . .

Tailgate!!with a ?

On August 30th, 2009 (19:26 GMT) sem1968 says:

Awesome that you're coming to GR but was wanting to know if you have a post game adult venue in mind also

We're Burnin' Daylight!

So glad you chose a suburb...

On August 30th, 2009 (18:17 GMT) belladonna420 says:

I wouldn't have been able to make it otherwise. But I'll be in Aurora for sure!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!

Awesome!

On August 30th, 2009 (18:56 GMT) scottsigler (FD∅™) says:

Looks like a good spot, easy to get to from Chicago proper, easy to get to from the surrounding area. Bring out the troops!

Ready for some Football?

On August 29th, 2009 (13:45 GMT) Finaldrive (HM) says:

yes.

Undead Champion, HM and Pusher .... Start Cracking with Crack!

No power in the Verse can stop me.

Do we have confirmed spots yet?

On August 28th, 2009 (10:31 GMT) cobrastarship99 says:

I want to go to the Pittsburgh stop. I thought the places where the junkies are meeting was suppose to be up but idk where.

I think...

On August 28th, 2009 (11:53 GMT) Shadygirl (MC) says:

that is coming soon. The FDO was going to have it up sooner, but mailing The Rookie is taking all his time. Last I hear, I think he said locations would be up sometime today.

and UNdead Grave Mother

okay, that's cool

On August 28th, 2009 (13:21 GMT) cobrastarship99 says:

i was just checking to make sure i just didn't miss the list somewhere. i'll check back later

can't wait

On August 27th, 2009 (10:40 GMT) darksoul25 says:

I am really excited that you are coming to Indy!

2nd that!

For those of you waiting for books... which means - ALL OF US! scottsigler: So You Want To Be A Publisher fun fact #47: it takes time to fill out 450 customs forms for foreign customers. Oy. Follow him on twitter.

Really no Denver?

On August 26th, 2009 (05:10 GMT) Jessie_Thompson says:

Denver is a great city I can't believe you wouldn't want to come here we have mountains and people that love you! I have to say I am deeply saddened by this. *It's a whole thing*

UK

On August 26th, 2009 (02:47 GMT) Darren Raynpr (not verified) says:

is there any chance of this tour coming to the UK, must be plently of fans over here. Me for 1 ! ! ! !! !

Wo0t!

On August 25th, 2009 (17:43 GMT) Hollia says:

I was sick as a mutha this weekend and was so effing depressed that I wouldn't be able to make it to the Rookie Tailgate. Then, alas I realized (albeit like a dumb ass) that it's not until NEXT month!!!! Wo0t!!! I am a happy happy very happy Hollia! Hope to see everyone in Jacksonville on Sept. 22nd!!

I understand about mixing up months

On August 26th, 2009 (07:10 GMT) scottsigler (FD∅™) says:

Seeing as I told everyone THE ROOKIE would be mailed on 9/27, and not 8/27 (when it is actually going in the mail), I get that. Looking forward to meeting you in Jacksonville.

On August 26th, 2009 (17:40 GMT) Hollia says:

...And YOUR understanding is the only one that counts, FDO! See ya soon!

Football Centric? Missin' out by not coming to Minnesota!

On August 25th, 2009 (14:40 GMT) SynapticJam (MC) says:

From a Football perspecitve that is... Minnesota is now home of The Vikings new QB! Brett Favre! Yep.. that's right! Here's the reaction! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VfHnCwLp14 How could the FDO pass up Minnesota when it's home to #4...

hhhmmm... SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK) #? in crack hits (Special? Ain't I just) Multiple S.H.I.T. Award Recipient! Double Dipper and Triple Threat! All-around uberjunkie!

We're divided by this small thing called the Atlantic...

On August 25th, 2009 (13:58 GMT) Yngve says:

Otherwise, I'd be drooling alongside a bunch of other junkies somewhere along the road i guess. In the mean time I plug podiobooks.com and Siglerism whenever I talk with people with an inclination to stuff audiobooks in their iPods, cells, mp3 players and so on... Have at it and have a good time people!

Norman, OK

On August 25th, 2009 (12:14 GMT) quill says:

Suhweet!! Got it on the calendar for Sept. 27! Can't wait.

A good spot for the Norman visit is O'Connell's Irish Pub. (http://www.oconnellsnorman.com)

The one on Lindsay is across the street from the football stadium, so it's the game day spot.

Woot!

Cindy

Original Junkie, and Sigler minion, just doing my part to Infect the world.

I was gonna suggest Champ's

On August 25th, 2009 (14:11 GMT) PerfectDayForDying (MC) says:

at the end of Main St., but I think O'Connell's is even better, being right across the street from the stadium.

**UNdead/GirlCo - We'll eat your brains and look good doing it.**

Champ's

On August 26th, 2009 (10:41 GMT) quill says:

Yeah, Champ's would work, too. Either one's ok. Just so there's beer.

Welcome To Nashville

On August 25th, 2009 (10:51 GMT) krwren says:

I will have to find a cover at the Dojo that night but I will be there. I will buy a book when you get here.

Alright H-Town Junkies!!!

On August 25th, 2009 (09:10 GMT) SynapticJam (MC) says:

It seems that I am just destined to keep coming down to Houston to see the FDO!!! If I make it on the 25th, that will be the third time I've travelled all the way from Minne-so-cold to your fine state to see the exhalted one. I might even bring a few kids too...
