Jon Bard, managing editor of Children’s Book Insider, showcases my interview with dynamo Laura Manivong at KidLit Central at his vlog:
Hey! There’s my little mouse dude, doing his Tom Cruise impersonation!
Completely unrelated sidebar: I passed John Green a note from Kelly Fineman yesterday. It felt a lot like Study Hall 1983. John even said, "I love Kelly" after he tried unsuccessfully to open my high school note-folding origami.
More on the nerdfighter tour later!
Your mouse is famous!
He’s a rock star
Did you and John Green play MASH too? Lol
hahahahaha! Pick a color, John!
=D
I was trying to remember all the questions you ask in MASH: names of boys/girls, car, color. What else?
#’s of kids you draw a circle and say, “say when”
locations of houses
vacation destinations
you can totally make up stuff too
Oh yes! The circles!! And there was always one girl who would keep making circles until you were red-faced and breathless from screaming “stop! Stop! Stop! WHEN!!!!!!!! I SAID WHEN!!!!!!!!”
hhahah
you got it, dude!
I cannot thank you enough for your efforts on my behalf. Smooch!
*hugs* Did the answers arrive?
Still a no. I resent the questions in an email yesterday, with notice that the interview’s supposed to run tomorrow, etc. I suppose I’ll keep on looking for them (what else can I do), and hope that they turn up. The tour officially ended last night in St. Paul, so here’s hoping that he gets some time to read and respond today.
John’s hair pouf was getting high in KC. THey had such high energy, but at one point during the autograph session you could see Hank visibly sag.
They must be exhausted.
Indeed. But it is now after 4 pm my time, and still no answers. *headdesk*
I’ll help you make up some answers.
john promised me interview answers…last summer…so…
well, he’s sooo swamped now. i bet he’s asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. i feel for him, honestly. i could not believe the autograph line in menlo park. mouth agape. his life is totally different now. crazy sauce!
All this buzz because you started the interview off with the absolute right question! You’re my hero.
All this for one reason only: You rock, just like your elevator pitch
Aw, I want to pass John Green a note from Kelly. Can I pass him a note from you, Colleen, next time he visits Texas?
Deal! I bet Kelly would let you pass a note from her, too
I so would let you pass a note from me.
I thought of you today as I handed over my gift card for my Venti cappuccino w/ non-fat milk and four raw sugars.
Thank you.
You are most welcome.
wonderful!
this is marvelous for you, way to go!
thanks Meg! Love that avatar – SQUEE!
