John Green and Paper Towns!

1. We. Are. Having. A. Paper. Towns. Release. Party.

2. We are inviting John Green to Chandler!

Yes, its a long way away but in his last video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T22qgvuakYg ) he said "by the way if your a librarian who would be interested in hosting/sponsoring a public event featuring us please email sparksflyup@gmail.com"

I know what your thinking we aren't going to have this guy fly out from Indianapolis (he did say everywhere and part of Canada so he MIGHT actually come this far) just to see the 4 people who'd show up. But, I'm gonna prove you wrong and say that 50 people from phoenix have already said they would go see him if he came to Arizona.

50 people! That sounds like a pretty successful library event if you ask me!

Plus we could make a youtube add for it and he'd mention it on his show (if he actually came all the way out here) and I'd make a ning announcement and it would be amazing . . . actually it would be awesome.

I rest my case.

(I'm kind of excited at the very very small possibility of this actually happening!)

Tickets from Indianapolis and to Arizona are expensive . . . Wait a second I make that flight like every summer . . . I believe a 2 way ticket is still like 300 dollars per person. Thats a lot of money to pay to see 50 fans . . .

Hank and John Green fund raiser time? Although our fund raisers generally fail . . .

would my favorite creative minds be willing to work their movie magic, and make something to send to john green to try to get him to come to our library for free (or for very little money)???

and by when can do you think these creative minds can have this amazingly witty, innovative short film made??

lol.

i can't wait for john green to come to our library because of the AMAZING, BRILLIANT, CAVERNOUS video you're going to make and send him!!!

34rawrbree
Jun 21, 2008, 10:05 pm

Haha, wow Courtney...
It's funny, because I read your post and the first thing I thought of was Attonement...

35ggfuatuiwwgiac
Jun 22, 2008, 1:41 am

Creative, cool, chill, crazy, consistent, comedic, chaotic, commodious, and craven.

All "c" words that would have worked better than cavernous except for maybe the last two . . .

51Courtneylee1984
Jul 8, 2008, 1:17 pm

ok, guys. i'm going to email john.
anything you'd like me to include in the email?
are we sure that we don't want to wait to send the moobie?
let me know.

52rawrbree
Jul 8, 2008, 4:40 pm

weeeell, if we waited, it wouldn't be sent in until after he made the tour list thing...

53ggfuatuiwwgiac
Jul 9, 2008, 1:27 am

I think as long as we send it on the 16th or 17th we'll be good. He just posted a new video and didn't mention it so that means nothing is super final yet (I hope!) and I just realized I'm going to me in Indiana sometime in October. How much would that suck? He comes to Chandler and I go to Indianapolis.
