Today on Alphabet City: Jon Paul calls out for help as he gets ready to crisscross the country pedaling his wares.
Alphabet City is recruiting dozens of friends and fans for a seriously fun mission—hosting Alphabet City Book Club House Parties with about 20 of their friends. Coast-to-coast, I’ll consider any city, and most importantly, I plan on attending every event! It’s a chance for you and your friends to get all those questions answered, including:
Preview of the book cover--thanks Sam Griffin!
- Are Tyra’s boobs real?
- What celebrities didn’t make it into the book?
- How can I find the no-pants bar in Berlin or Babylon in Bangkok?
Plus, I’ll reveal salacious tidbits that got edited out for fear of lawsuits—like the down-on-her-luck celebrity with an eating disorder. Or how I handle my mother reading about intimate details of my sex life.
Forget Pride & Prejudice—Jane Austen’s not coming to your house. But I am! It’s like a Tupperware party with a humorous edge.
The wonderful thing about technology is that it’s allowing emerging artists to go directly to fans. That’s not to say that it’s easy—you don’t just punch a button and boom you’re a published Kindle author. There are all sorts of unimagined hic-cups. But at the end of the day, it’s a blast being charge from top-to-bottom.
All right folks, the Alphabet City Book Club House Party Tour runs May-November 2010. Now, I’ve got some books to sell.
Who’s going to step up and get the Alphabet City party started?

I want you to do Cincinnati – maybe we can figure out a way to tie it into a Ranch visit.

Hey JP –
If you have more friends down here than just Ben and myself – I’ll be happy to host it. I can share this on FB as well to gain interest. Let me know if you want to add Raleigh to the schedule
