Eventful
Hi Guys,
It seems like lately I've been getting a lot of emails and blog comments from readers asking...
1. if I'm going to be going on tour.
And
2. if I could come to (insert their hometown here).
Well, the answer to 1 is no. For now. There's been some talk of me maybe doing a little bit of touring when GG3 or Kat is released, but that's still a long way away and a lot can change between now and then.
The answer to 2 is that I'd love to visit ALL of your hometowns, but unfortunately that isn't very feasible.
And it is very helpful for you guys to write and tell me where you'd like for me to visit. Unfortunately, it isn't exactly practical.
I'd have to keep lists and build spreadsheets and it would be...insane.
So imagine my joy when I saw Hank and John Green (the geniuses behind Brotherhood2.o) had a link on their site where people can request they visit their towns!
Yay, John (whom I know) and Hank (who I've never met in my life)! You are, in fact, made of awesome.
(And yes, that is something of an inside joke for all the nerdfighters.)
(And double yes, "nerdfighter" is very much an inside joke, too.)
So I headed on over to eventful.com today and made an official Ally Carter page where people (and by "people" I mean all of you) can request that I visit your town!
So, if your first response to a blog about touring was to head to the comments section and say something like "Can you please come to (insert your town)? Please! Nobody ever comes to (insert your town)!"...
Don't.
Please. I'm begging you don't because your blog comment vote will not be tracked or measured or logged in any way.
But your request at http://www.eventful.com/allycarterwill be recorded forever.
So do that instead.
Thanks!
Ally

ps...thanks to all of you who have gone to eventful to request events in your area. Just note, please, that it's probably best to request "metro area" events. For example, I don't know the names of all of the Chicago suburbs, so a dozen people requesting a dozen events in a dozen different Chicago area towns probably wouldn't get a visit. But if you all request "Chicago Metro Area" then I'll have a much better idea where the demand is.
Thanks!

did i miss the day when the gg3
title contest was announced?
i saw the post about the shirt.
is the book's name
"if my school were normal then it wouldnt be a secret?"
or is that just a design idea?
keep up the great work
That is so cool! I never knew they made something like that. Whoever thought of it was genius. Good idea for using that! :)
Um.. when's the title contest, because I heard that it's coming up soon, is it?

Thanks for putting up that thing on eventful! Happy 4th of July Ally Carter! I absolutely heart your series! Please never stop writing the series forever and ever! I luv Gallagher Girls. And thanks to your links, I found my dream job: working at the CIA! Thank you Ally Carter!
cool! I just demanded you to come to MASS. Where do you live right now?
I never knew about Eventful, it is so cool! I LOVE the GG books and I knew about GG3 but not about Kat. I read Jen Lyn Barne's blog regularly and I she mentioned you and it reminded me to look at your blog. And let me just tell you I was SHOCKED when I saw that you were writting Kat, my jaw literaly hit the floor. I am SOOOOOO excited for GG3 and Kat!
Well I would do the eventful thing for the Seattle metro area but it is scary putting in your gender and age and e-mail adress! i mean these people could be bad guys! So for my safety im not gunna.
Hey Ally,
yesturday i was on babynames.com to get some names for my story that im writing and the name i found was the name of Cammie's school. Gallagher and it was a boy nam orgin which is Irish. I thought it was kind neat seeing it as a name. I wasnt sure if you knew that. And i have a question if there is a right way to say that word? I usually pronounce it with the g being silent. have a great day!
I did a fake email address and it let me request an event. I don't think the email really matters--just the city you want Ally to visit!
I was looking at your Eventful page and I saw that their was going to be an event in Menlo Park on the 31st. Is this for real? If so YAY! that is only two hours away!
Hooha Nerdfighters!
I love Hank and John. From one nerdfighter to another: DFTBA!
did you choose a title for gg3 yet?? The shirts are aWeSoMe. Your the bessstttt. :-)
Your books are the besstttt. Why does it have to be so long until the new one comes outtt??
i was wondering, could we maybe get a sneek peak of kat or gg3 maybe?
btw i totally joined "eventful"! it's a pretty cool site.
i'm so excited for gg3!!!!! and kat!!!!!
Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!!
I really dont know which name I like better.
Kat or Hiest.
They both sound really good, but its like they are two completely different books, judging by the name.
Hiest
Kats
Hmmm... I like both
yess! love love love john and hank! dftb-freakin-a! :D
I must say, I am extremely jealous of you knowing John Green. And I think I will go and put in a request for you because I will scream and drop in a dead faint if you do come here. Not really. Because that might be hazardous for my health. And you should know that you, too, are made of so much awesome it is leaking out of the stitches in your skin.
I'm sorry, does that sound sick?
keep demanding everyone! we gotta get ally somewhere!!!!
Hello Ally,
As much as I love you and your books, I doubt your publishers will shell out money to fly you to Manila. But goodluck with the book tours.
ok i put in a fake email and demanded the seatle metro area!
yay! seattle has the most demands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I demanded so...I hope you go somewhere in NC so I can go :].
