Dallas will miss you so much, there is so much good food from around the world here along with some great wine restuants for the tradtional dog and pony show and we have a Food & Wine festival that happened in March. Maybe you should come out to The City of Grapevine Wine Festival. Course anytime you visit would be a gas what ever the time of year!

Gary V – after your book signing in edison, I wanna invite you to my pad in Edison for dinner….this is my way of following up with you again and again to “work” w/you!

Come on brother, let’s make it happen!!!

Costco in Edison looks like the ticket for me.

NYC and Ridgefield are over 2 hours plus for me so I will have to see if I can work some magic on the Edison gig.

Do you have to be a member to get into the book signing?

Gary,

I’ve been watching for about 40 or 50 episodes now, this is my first time posting. You gotta make it out to DC on this tour. Borders at 17th and L is highly recommended.

Hope to see you soon…

Hey G.V.

You missed Santa Fe, New Mexico! Man, this the real old west where men are men and women are beautiful. We can even read out here in the mountains, so come put your brand on our books.

Great show. Keep up the great work.

… or also Cambridge MA is full of bookstores & CKCs.
… Also there are large B&N and Borders stores in tax-free Cow Hampshire that would love to host you, I’m sure (don’t have any contacts there though).

Gary, Twin Cities, Minneapolis/St. Paul are screaming for you! Huge Barnes and Noble at the hugest mall—Mall of America. This would be a major score if you could get on their calendar for a book signing.

BTW there are several other enormous BN stores in the area but I think the Mall of America would probably be the biggest draw.

Here is the 411 on Los Angeles: This will give you a good triangulation of Los Angeles

1) LA Central: Book Soup, Hollywood, Sunset Blvd, They do lots of stuff like book signings: http://www.booksoup.com/

2) Eastside: Vroman Book, Pasadena http://www.vromansbookstore.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp

3) West Central: Barnes & Noble: http://storelocator.barnesandnoble.com/storedetail.do?store=2089

4) Santa Monica: http://www.bordersstores.com/stores/store_pg.jsp?storeID=93

Let me know if you want me to setup for you.

Gary, for Portland, try to book it at Powell’s Bookstore… it’s the largest independently owned book store in the country and it rules. Also, are we going to drink some wine when you’re here, OR WHAT?? My home built cellar should be done by then!

Bring the book tour to Ann Arbor, MI! Awesome city: U of M campus, liberal locals, world HQ for Borders Book Store – popular stop, great space. Or check out Shaman Drum – http://www.shamandrum.com/ – and support indie business! Eat at Zingerman’s (Reuben brings thunder).

I look forward to meeting you at Wine & Food Week in The Woodlands (not Houston)with my friends George Taber & Daniel Schuster. I write a weekly column (WINE WALK in The Courir) and a monthly column (TEXAS WINE WALK in People Scene Magazine). Your zaniness reminds me of myself at times. You can’t take life too seriously or you will end up being boring. I will take you guys to catch some real BBQ when you are here, like 15-inch long ribs.

May 4, 2008

Greg S
How about a Denver stop? you’re probably flying through anyway. The Tattered Cover bookstores (now 3 of them) are the top independent book stores here in town. Make it happen and I’ll arrange the post-game food/drinks. We’ll talk a little wine + fantasy sports – basketball and baseball…

Gary,

Come to New Mexico! Cool wine scene with great local wineries. Best “New” Mexican food anywhere! It brings the thunder!!!! (nothing Beano can’t fix)

I program two of the six radio stations in our cluster and I invite you to be our guest on the top rated morning shows in New Mexico. You’d reach Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos and everywhere in between.

We have connections to book stores, wine shops\restaurants, T.V. stations, HOTELS, hundreds of thousands of listeners, etc. We would make it a HUUUUUGE and thunderous event. You tell me when my friend. Let’s do it!

Los Angeles!

Actually, Rancho Cucamonga, CA – one of the original California Appellations (can you say dinosaur-vine Zin?) Not too far from the Ontario International Airport (need a ride?). Get your tastebuds out here before it gets too damn hot and smoggy. I can even arrange for a restaurant (a Microbrewery no less – KILLER steaks) that would be more than happy to host a tasting/book signing. Awesome microbrew to clean the palate after a few good wines!
May 7, 2008

Katie
Psyched that you’ll be down in the Woodlands (it’s the greater Houston area, but not REALLY Houston, for the record) in June. The Woodlands is really nice that year, though kind-of hot. Still, any chance of a meet-up or something that *isn’t 21+*? Yes, the minimum age for alcohol is 21, but I’m pretty sure that there’s no minimum age for podcasts.

Mark Manning
Wassup with Seattle? My little list of local bookstores insiders is way out of date, or I’d see if I could find a venue. But surely there’s got to be enough Vayniacs out here to make a signing happen. Doesn’t anyone reading this happen to know anybody who works at Barnes & Noble in University Village? Or University Bookstore in the University District? Or Elliott Bay Bookstore in Pioneer Square? Or Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park? Wow, I bet Third Place would LEAP at the chance to host GaryV! If they host it, I will come, to paraphrase Field of Dreams.

Kori
Gary, don’t give up on Seattle yet. It was great to meet you at Taste WA, you gotta come back. I think the problem is that the originally scheduled date for Seattle is Memorial Day weekend. Lots of people, me included, will be out of town. On another date, I am definitely there (+1).

Anybody else in NYC who was planning on going to the book signing tomorrow hear that it was moved to Wednesday? I was just at the Park Ave. Borders store to pick up two copies of the book and saw a sign saying that it was on the 14th, not the 13th like the book tour site says. I’d like to hear this from Gary, or someone affiliated with the book tour, cause I would not want to miss it, thinking that its the 14th, when it is still tomorrow.

Sorry about the rant

Puh-lease make an appearance in Seattle. You are always immensely entertaining, and I for one, would love to have to opportunity to meet and greet with you. I mean, come on..we’re close to Walla walla, the horse-heaven hills make excellent wines, as do most of the fine wineries (ie Kiona) on Red Mountain. We’re close enough!

So. You. Seattle. Pronto.
