Hope to see you all... somewhere!

I went to write the date down in my cute pink planner...I was going to use my pink pen and write it with big hearts around your name...and then? I realized you're not coming to Pittsburgh.
I guess I'll live through it...but I'm not sure how. I am pretty sure it will involve chocolate...

[Abigail Jennings]

Words cannot express how EXCITED we are that you're coming to Seattle!!! The offer for drinks at the Four Seasons still stands - or the original Starbuck's, your choice!!! We will have SO damn much fun!!! YEAH!!!!!!

[elle]

party like a rock star in austin, baby!!!!! *and the peasants rejoice* we're bringing as many friends as we can pack into my vw bug! excited am i! no no, wait, i mean, yeee-haw!!! ;)~

OH, p.s. while in austin, you MUST try a prickly pear margarita and/or a purple margarita (limit 2 per customer... those puppies mean business)! yum, yum, gimme some! *note: my gals and i are available for impromptu drinking tours of our fine state capital. i'm just saying... ;)~

[Sally]

More importantly, where we going afterwards? Webster's Wine Bar? Green Dolphin Street? Pequod's? Yes, Pequod's it is!

[Megan]

Holy crap I cannot wait to see you in Seattle! That will make my AP testing at the beginning of May sooooo much more worth it! Can't wait to meet you!

[Geri]

OMG Jen!!!! Yay! How perfect that you'll be in the marina district, where I can take you out to drinks after at this little wine bar down the street, and slosh home drunk myself? I'm so excited!

[Jen]

Any Charlotteans want to carpool for the Atlanta stop? Email me at jenwoodward@hotmail.com

[Heather B.]

This Democrat is going to get your Republican ass drunk in NYC. xo.

One word: Wine. And lots of it.

[Marta]

Hey Jen,

I can't wait until May for your new book but, how come no tour dates for South Florida?
:(

[Jerseygirl89]

C'mon, you have to go through Jersey to get to New York. Couldn't you stop at my Barnes and Noble? (What? I'm lazy.)I'm just sayin'.

[LJ]

So excited! It's in the Blackberry and the work planner haha. And I still have a few months to get my pearls ready to go ;-)

[Candice]

I know SLC was a long shot but Denver would be great too! Travel safe!

[Ashley]

You shouldn't say you're coming to "DC" you're going to middle of nowhere VA, I think. Never even heard of. Some serious bus riding will have to be done to get there.

[Michelle Gebhart]

Are you ever coming to Denver? It's bigger than Atlanta, Cincinatti, Portland, and Minneapolis, and I'm sure you have tons of devoted fans here (myself being one of them). The Denver airport is also a major flight hub so lots of flights connect through Denver anyway. C'mon...

Michelle

P.S. If you have already come to Denver and, like an idiot, I missed you, my apologies.

[Alison]

Please please keep us posted on the info about Printers Row in Chicago...since a road trip to Chicago for the first date won't work since it's during the week.

[Diane]

You are gonna be in Philly the night before I come home from vacation. Maybe I'll send a friend to get me an autographed copy of your new book.
::sniff::

[Trisha]

I can't tell you how incredibly happy I am that you're coming to Portland!! Wahoo!!

Safe travels!

[The Muse]

The Atlanta date went on my work calendar. Which means it's on my crackberry. Which, of course, means you are terribly important! (I'm even canceling a class that I have to teach that night for you!)

[Stacie]

Philly...on a Friday night...already have it on my calendar. This is so exciting...must reserve copy of your new book..get highlights...skinny latte...so much to do before I finally get to meet YOU!!!

[Kimberly]

Just marked my planner. I'm so there.

[Jess]

So excited about the book signing!!! I'll be at the one in NYC...gotta somehow to make it to Columbus Circle but I'll figure it out!! I've never actually wanted to go to a book tour before, but you are such a great writer that I just have to meet you!! Can't wait for May 7th!!!

[Karen]

Holy Crap! I didn't know you were coming to Cincy! SWEET! I was all geared up for a road trip to Indy but you've made my day. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!! 30 mins of driving beats an 90 mins any day!

[Christine]

Fabulous! Looking forward to your Philly visit. Friday nights are wine nights! Well any night is....

[Anita]

WAH! No San Diego!?!?!
We are America's Finest City, you know. You deserve a trip here!

[Rachel]

See ya in Philly!

[amanda]

I'm so excited to see/meet (is that a possibility?) you!!! Will you be signing books, too?

[moss]

YAY for Dallas!!! And on my birthday! Can't think of a better way to spend my 25th!

[Michelle]

OH. MY. GAWD. (Spoken Janice style from Friends) - Cincinnati!!!!! Jen, thank you so much!! We are so excited....you have just made my day!!!!! Yipeeeeeeeeee!!!

[Susie]

Rock Star!
I am for sure hitting Dallas:) Maybe Austin and might try Mpls too:) Yay!

[Melissa]

SOOOO stoked about Dallas. I've got to buy some pearls and I will stock up on the chardonnay and cupcakes now! See ya then.

[sweetney]

Monday/May 12th
7:30PM
Borders
5871 Crossroads Center Way
Baileys Crossroads, VA 22041

this is my birthday! maybe an amalah/sweetney/jennsylvania night out in the works?

[Jennifer]

I am also bummed out that you're not coming to Boston - Maybe next time?

[Lys]

Congrats!!! I'll have to see what the schedule is for a work jaunt to Philly since Orlando didn't make the cut.

[Cindy in Cincinnati]

I cannot believe my luck, as you are coming to Cincinnati!!! Fantastic, Jen! I will be there with bells on, toting wine and chocolate...all for you! Can't wait to meet you! I'll bring all my Jen Lancaster fan friends, as well! You Rock! Thank you for including us! (And HAAA to all you Ohioans in Columbus and Cleveland! We have Jen Lancaster visiting and a new IKEA! HAAA again!)

[Molly]

OH THANK GOD! I was just about to plan my vacation, and was sure I'd be in the wrong place at the wrong time for book tour!

Alas... see you in Philly!

[mamikaze]

Rock on! It is on my calendar. Third Place Books is the best bookstore on the West Coast.I could say I'll be there with bells on, but that is not how I roll. I'll be there with a mocha in my hand and wine in my bag.
I just put it on pre-order with Laurie Notaro's newest. Excited does not describe it. I will see you in Seattle!
*runs off to blog this*

[Jessica]

Count me as another one who was hoping for a Boston stop! I know these things are out of your control, but I'm still sad!

[Carrisa]

What no Oklahoma stops? *pouts*

[Sister Honey Bunch]

Come to Traverse City, MI this summer! It will make you happy.

[January]

OMG I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU ARE COMING TO CINCINNATI! Don't be fooled by the naysayers above. That Borders is in an excellent shopping location! You will definitely have some true fans at that booksigning!!!!!

[Badger]

Holy shit, that B&N in Round Rock is like five minutes from my house! I really have no excuse NOT to go. Er, not that I was looking for one.

[Rebecca]

Why no Boston Jen???!!!!

[Jen]

You say you love Boston,MA so much...where the hell is our love..pleeeease add it on..its only like..what..four-five hours away from NYC..and we have the best sports teams right here..fox news loves us :)

[Kristin]

Hoorray! I'm so excited that Ohio made the cut - I'm up north but the BFF and I are so driving to Cincinnati that weekend!!
The countdown has begun, and we have just reserved our copies on Amazon :o) LUVULNGX! Can't wait!!!

[Katherine]

Very interesting, I'm closer to Austin but have a Junior League meeting that day, so I am going to fly to Dallas on Wed, attend, and fly back to Corpus on Thursday for my meeting. SO EXCITED! I'm making a list of all my Dallas friends to bring with me! We don't drive places in Texas, it's too far, we have to fly from town to town. Or ride a horse. :)

[Shelli]

Sigh.....

Cincinnati? The city where Jerry Springer used to be the mayor.

Cleveland would be more fun and I would treat you to dinner at Michael Symon's restaurant.

Seriously? Cincinnati??

[dcfullest]

So pumped you are coming to DC-- you won't be at the cool Borders like I predicted, but you are in a more central location.

[Jennifer]

I'm so excited!

[Kelly]

Yea, Atlanta!!!

[Jayme]

Delighted to have you...visit to an OUTLYING SUBURB of Cincinnati (hey, a 40 minute drive beats a road trip to Indy!).
