Hey Em & Lo I missed your short visit to Seattle, but I'll be in NYC for the Cinekink Film Festival 10/9-10/12 (https://www.cinekink.com) to see my friend's short film. Will you be making an appearance there or somewhere else in the city during that time?

Hey Em, Don't you get sick of Lo's boyfriend/puppy dog following you guys on your Thelma & Louis getaway? Or is it just a male thing that we can't stand it when someone's ole lady busts up a guy's night out? I guess I can understand meeting up once to "relieve" some pressure...but the amount of times he "popped up" during the trip was a little on the whipped side. Plus, considering your lack of carnal roadside pleasure, the least they could have done is let you watch. Selfish prigs.

Hey, if y'all come through Boston on a Saturday, you might want to check out the Ryles Jazz Club over in Cambridge. I dunno if it's actually your thing or not, but they have, like... real dancing. You know, swing, cha cha, salsa, and such. (Well, and they have drinks, too...) Free lessons before the dancing begins, as well. Hey, it's just a thought. And a decent way to avoid all the frat boys on Landsdowne Street. I'm looking forward to meeting you two when you come up here. You girls are the BEST!

Last minute announcement: HELLO NEW YORK CITY! ...WHAT Your 15 Minutes...WHEN: Wednesday, September 3 (TONIGHT!) at 8 p.m.....WHERE: Smithfield Bar, Essex St. btw Delancey & Rivington, NYC.....We're shooting a TV segment to promote The Big Bang and we want you to show up to our five-cent sex advice table with a question about faking in bed. (Questions from/about dudes and ladies accepted with equal fervor.) This is not our official New York event (more on that soon), but if you bring a copy of the book we'll be happy to sign it. And as always, we'll be accepting free drinks.

Well, I'm waiting for you guys to come back up to the NE to buy the book, but I gotta question for you: Yeah, I know, Philly is close to NYC and all, but...why no stop here? I mean, shit, everyone I know reads Hooksexup, and I would image at least SOME of them join me in reading your column. So, come on, come do a signing in Philly - there's a couple of huge book stores who would welcome you, and they're not far from some pretty decent hotels. Despite rumors to the contrary, Philly IS more than overzealous fans of bad sports teams who eat cheesesteaks, soft pretzels and water ice all the time (or did the stereotype include Gelatti? I'm behind on this, obviously). Well, I mean, for the most part Philly is more than those things. So, Em & Lo, come join us Nervites in Philly, and we'll all party to the break-a-break-a dawn...well, more like until 2am when the city shuts down, but even then, some of us (*coughmecough*) can sneak you into one of the half-decent afterhours spots...and if it makes you feel better, there's even a few places that do karaoke... - Nick

I was really bummed that I was in Seattle a few days after you made it through town, but I did manage to pick up a copy of the book at Baileys....Since then I've had to buy two more copies, as they keep getting "borrowed" by friends and lovers....You're slowly but steadily gaining on the Bible as far as being the most stolen book, and all the copies are mine! It's an excellent book though, even if it is tough to keep around.

I really loved the authors' sense of humor and real straight forward way of talking about sex; the info on the sex toys was awesome because it answered all of the questions that I have been wanting to ask while at adult novelty stores but never had the guts to! It's awesome and I recommend it for everyone!

Dear Em and Lo, How about making a stop in Northampton, Mass.? It's just the least bit out of the way from NYC to Boston, and I think you'd be most welcome there. (Where exactly, I'm not sure.)

How about including Pittsburgh on the next tour? I know it doesn't seem glamorous, and that's because it isn't. But we need you here! I love your column, and I have totally enjoyed the blog from the book tour. And maybe I have a crush on Lo now. Ok, not so maybe.

If your map is true you may be the only two people to travel from Fargo ND to Madison WI without going through the triplet cities of Minneapolis, Bloomington and St. Paul MN. That's OK because during the harvest season we are all out on our tractors and there are only a couple thousand residents here anyhow, none of whom have ever heard or give a flying fuck about Em and Lo.

Here's our only, last minute, late night Atlanta Event!!!: Date: Monday, August 11 Time: 9:30 - 11 p.m. (like in a matter of hours from this posting) Place: Righteous Room, 1051 Ponce De Leon Ave NE Since we were unable to secure something official in Atlanta, we just decided last minute to show up some place and have some drinks -- we apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment. Being an unofficial event, there won't be any "5 cent sex advice" signs, so just look for us in our Hooksexup T-shirts. Also, we won't be hauling a load of books, so if you want a copy signed, best to buy one from a bookstore and bring it with you. We'll see all three of you there! -- Em & Lo

OHHHHHHH, THERE'S THE BLOG!!! Sorry...doofus here...so close and yet so far...it's like my recurring dream of having only half an hour at the IKEA after driving for two days...Well...I can only assume by your "day off to be regular old tourist thing" (batting eyelashes demurely) that you'll really be at Colette in New Orleans tonight (Saturday) as it has become easily the sexual centerpiece of the sweaty buffet that is NOLA in August...but then I'm sure you didn't need little ol' us to tell you THAT! Can't believe we missed u...
--A.N.
08/09
OH BUT WAIT!!! That's what I get for not tuning in often enuf...According to your schedule, it's your last night in NOLA, and you're off to Atlanta. Oh, no! We missed you. We'll buy you drinks!!! But now we're confused, the site sez you're off to NC next, but your blog doesn't say anything 'bout anything since CA! Are you just having too much fun to write home? Anyway....we want to know if you've actually even made it/are going to make it to New Orleans so my wife can see for herself what prodigies you are...and so that we can discuss the seedy story behind the fact that our town is (sadly) not as blatantly sexual as the rest of the world seems to think it is!
--A.N.

oops, that should be "earlier in the evening," not "earlier in the email." we're tired. EmLo

Also, as for the rest of our stay in new orleans.... any promotion we're doing is more impromptu (i.e. Lo pushing the book when she gets up to karaoke on Bourbon street, and us attempting to sell a copy of the Big Bang to our bell boy). Other than that, we're actually taking 24 hours to be tourists, if you can believe that. But if you see our Clit-Taurus (it's got "Just published", "hooksexup.com" and "The Big Bang" scrawled all over it), feel free to flag us down and we'll sell/sign you a copy or three! -- Em & Lo P.S. And regarding Atlanta, the first place we were going to be on Monday night bagged on us, but we're in the process of setting up another location. But hang in there -- we'll post/email the Atlanta details as soon as we have 'em! If you want us to let you know when we've set on a time/place (it'll be 9 or later, as we're on CNN earlier in the email), just drop us a line at [email protected] letting us know. -- Em & Lo

Just read a couple of sentences of today's posting, and didn't get far. "Picareseque" and "picturesque" have different meanings. I believe you meant to use "picturesque." Here is the definition of "picaresque" for your future reference. 'Picaresque' "1.Of or involving clever rogues or adventurers. 2. Of or relating to a genre of usually satiric prose fiction originating in Spain and depicting in realistic, often humorous detail the adventures of a roguish hero of low social degree living by his or her wits in a corrupt society. "

The map shows you will be in New Orleans on the 7th, 8th, and 9th. OK, I missed you Thursday night because my plane was delayed (long story, but I was FRIED). Where will you be on Friday and Saturday (or are you both going to do a little private sight-seeing of the Big Easy)?

Em & Lo: You two have got to be kidding. The "six pack" - as in that "crazy move" the indie rocker showed you in San Fran - was orginally brought to North America by the more daring "filles du roi" ("daughters of the king" - hot French girls sent to the new world to lure settlers)and perfected in Quebec. To properly perform the "six pack" you must prep before proceeding: While making out you discretely chill your fingers by sticking them in a pile of snow that you keep on your windowsill (icecubes and water will suffice). Once this is done you've got much more than a "six pack" - what you've got is "the shocker". Like Canadian football, it's simply a better game.
--IDS

Does the book have a chapter on the difference between fun teasing and just plain meanness? I could have read all about it in my very own autographed edition, but then my much maligned hometown became the one and only cancelled stop on the tour. Bitter? Jealous? Yes, ma'am.
--ne

I knew it! I knew when I heard/read NOTHING about when and where Em & Lo were gonna be this Wednesday in Houston that it was gonna get cancelled--aaaaugh! 3 days in N'awlins, no days in Houston, whazzup witdat? But hey, thaaaaaaaaaaat's my life!

What, no love for L.A.? Just another one night stand? At least you left a copy of the Big Bang in your wake-- thank you very, very much. You've expanded my "to-do" list tremendously. Kisses~

I'm so disappointed! I've been a daily reader of Hooksexup since the beginning, and I've planned for weeks to meet Em & Lo when they came to Houston. Now, all of a sudden, the Houston stop is cancelled. Shit!
--fm
08/05
Em and Lo, you have both officially broken my heart by not coming out to Houston. That's a real accomplishment; even the only boy I was ever in love with who broke up with me after a year and a half and then proceeded to immediately date a girl who had been "good friends" with him while we were together didn't manage that. Austin is the young, hip city in Texas so I can understand that you may think your time was better spent there. I suppose I should be used to being a deprived Houstonian by now, but when you hold out the hope of doing something cool here for once like offering Robert Downey Jr. a bag of cocaine, when you later deny the initial offer... that's just cruel. If Fargo can attract the illustrious Em and Lo, then surely Houston, the fourth largest city in the US can do! Where did we go wrong, ladies? Tell me, so we can pull ourselves together and not fuck up the next time a couple of irreverant sexperts consider gracing us with their five cent sex advice and lectures in anal sex safety. Given time, I am sure I will mend. But for now, it's too much to read your trip blog, to experience only secondhand what I might have had as my own, to be regaled by tales of people shown the light and srange encounters with the law, schoolchildren, and miscellaneous others. I was going to buy you all drinks, too. Don't worry about me... I'll... be... o... k...
--CS

we're so sorry, but we had to cancel the houston stop. we ended up completely overscheduling ourselves on this trip and trying to pack too much in... so we're actually going to be heading straight from austin to new orleans. sorry for the last-minute notice, and we hope to catch y'all on the next time around. -- Em & Lo

We're so sorry about the Plaza snafu! We showed up, but the place was indeed rented out by the Girls Club and was swarming with kids (not to mention police). We just felt it wasn't appropriate to start dishing sex advice in public... and then it started pouring down, too. But we did take the advice of a few Santa Fe regulars and headed over to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame to hand out some Big Bang calling cards. Sorry we missed you... Em & Lo
--
08/03
After not getting feedback I wandered about the Plaza with the hundreds of folx carrying my copy of "Big Bang" didn't see em&lo but did answer lots of questions about the book and several people wrote down the information, some sales there. Got a date too. Not a wasted effort since I only live 1/2 a mile from there anyway. I did want to get my copy autographed fo rmy daughter tho. Enjoy Austin. Wish you had shown up.

--HH

The Plaza is being used for the day tomorrow by Girls, Inc for their annual arts and crafts day. There would be difficulty in setting up for several reasons. Foremost is that they have booked the whole space from the city from 11-6. The Farmers Market in the morning or the Paramoount inthe evening would be good. as far as the afternoon goes, maybe Garcia Street Books or the Santa Fe Baking Company Gypsy alley up on Canyon Road where hundreds of tourists will be walking by. I'll think about it and get back to you.
--TRK

I agree about bumblebees, not a big selection but there is a decent selection for a fast food place. Good Jazz Saturday evening 8-11 (free)too . mu du noodles (although always awarded "best vegetarian") only has one entree that doesn't have fermented fish sauce in it. They refuse to alter their recipes to accomodate us. There are a couple of Thai places near downtown that are ok and will accomodate vegetarians. Tomasitos has mediocre green in my opinion. Pasquales or the Shed (both one block from the plaza) redsare the superior. As far as vegan is concerned Cafe San Estevan has organic grilled vegetables as does Tulips. There are options in a town with more decent restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the country but amazingly enough there are no strictly vegetarian places in town. Paramount is your demographic. Donna Lee would probably let you set up in the entrance too. I'll ask her.

Em and Lo slandered Portland thusly: "Portland, the little brother of Seattle: Portland talks a big game about being able to beat up Seattle, but Seattle doesn't even notice." There's a tired description if ever there was one. Having lived in both places, I can say with some authority that though it's true Portland only has about 60% of what Seattle has, it also has about 25% the traffic. And let's face it, what Seattle has, I don't need. Ballet? No, not missing it much. Portland on the other hand, arguably has an edge in the things that really matter, like microbrews and skiing, and it's a dead heat in restaurants. Beat up Seattle? Hell no! We're just hoping we don't grow up like it.

PHOENIX! We're going to be hanging out at this bar called Devil's Martini tomorrow (Thursday) night (July 31) from 8 to 10 pm. It's actually in Scottsdale, at 4175 North Goldwater Blvd. There's no official booth, we'll just be milling the crowd in our Hooksexup T-shirts. We can't sell books on the site this time, but if you bring a copy we'd be delighted to sign it for you! Hope to see you there... -- Em & Lo

It is unfortunate I missed you on your first leg of the tour in Fargo. You most definitely would have had one more book sold, as well as some drinks bought for the two of you. However, I would agree that finding you a vegan meal here would be quite impossible. I think it is against the North Dakota criminal code to be caught serving/eating a vegan meal.

The Time Magazine link in the Portland section produces a page that says, "The page you've requested has been moved or taken off the site. We apologize for the inconvenience." At least at 0300 CDT Monday it does.

Sorry about the San Diego typo. We'll get that fixed a.s.a.p. Here's the real address for our San Diego event -- we'll be there this coming Wednesday night from 9 to 11 pm: Sidebar, 400 W. Broadway, San Diego. See you there! Em & Lo

Wait, wait...I have got the most precious slogan, one that totally beats the pants off of Paul's (no pun intended because where I come from, we keep our slogans pantsed and our mouths shut.). Are you ready? "The Big Bang: It's not about astronomy, unless astronomy is a science that deals with giving advice on how to fuck, and not one that deals with celestial physics, cosmology, and mathematics in more than three dimensions." Do you love it? Do you love it? It's totally yours to use. Free of charge.

hi em/lo, you're coming to l.a. tomorrow, and still, we know not where or whenish! also, any chance of buying you a drink when/if you pass through palm springs heading back eastward? seems like we owe you at least that much, after all. rutledge & kcooperblue (yes, we're together)

so, what the hell happened after montana? seattle, portland, san fran??? btw, if you want to see real cowboys, you're gonna have to take the scenic route. yellowstone is a better place to look for one than manhattan, but you've got a lot of room for improvement. enjoy the natural beauty. have fun. signing asses, that's the spirit.

hey, I would love to read the tour blog, but it is so ungodly narrow it's almost impossible to read! (not to mention the scroll bar is over in no-man's-land off the edge of my screen...) anyone at the home office who could maybe rearrange somehow? thanks.

Hey, y'all -- love the diary -- thanks for keeping us posted. I'll try not to be TOO upset that you're skipping the middle of the country (esp. Nashville, where I am).... Congrats on great review in Time -- can't beat that with a stick (as we say down here). drive safe!

Ladies, I'm a little bummed I didnt have more time to plan a trip (I'm over in port townsend, WA) over to Seattle to see you and I promise: free drinks for days.

Em U Lo! God you two are just like a little lesbian couple that just doesn't know it...but maybe that's my fantasy...well maybe I'll expand on that later...meowwwwww..... I love your current column..it is bringing back all these great memories of travelling the great U.S...I love this country but god how I hate the Bush...no not your lovely lush, sweet, furry, or maybe shorn tulips...but that ass W...oh enought of that... Well, I am really thinking that it would be fun for you to visit my little slice of Houston, which is Montrose, TX, which is just the coolest part of Houston...people all love each other here...whether straight of gay, man or woman, and we're all a little crazy,and not afraid to show it and get wild like you two little minxes... Anyway, I'm planning trying to make to whatever event you two try to pull off here...and I do work at the Johnson Space Center which obviously has to be a target of yours...and you will love to come and visit a uninhibited bar just down the street from me called the Next Door.... Let me know how I can enhance your plans... Btw, I'll try and get my friends in Portland to visit with you...I know you two are just getting off on this trip... We're all so jealous... Big love, Nealio

As for us completely skipping the middle of America -- we know we're missing some awesome cities, but we only had just over a month to travel, so we unfortunately had to make some tough decisions. hey, if you guys help us make this first book a bestseller, then hopefully we'll get to go on a monster book tour for our second book (due out January 2003) and fly wherever the hell we damn well please! -- Em & Lo

AC, we've got nothing planned for New Orleans yet! Do you have any ideas on bars that might be amenable to us showing up, selling books, dishing out some five-cent advice, etc? Email us at [email protected] if so. As for San Diego, we're going to try and set up in one of those beach bars... details to follow very soon -- Em & Lo

some warning for you two girls. after being cooped up together on the road, it is common for even the best of friends to get on each other's Hooksexups. i don't want to hear about you two getting in a catfight in bumfuck texas...

07/20
damn straight that you two are neglecting the big middle of america. being of minnesota extraction then to new york for ten years and now living in cincinnati (where the locals do know a thing or two about the big bang contrary to some elite coastals). please come to cincinnati ... please please please. do i have to beg??

Hooksexup, I've been a member almost from the beginning. Please, oh please, bring some thoughtful hedonism to Pittsburgh, PA! We could so use what you bring to us through the Internet in person.
--MD
07/20
the "nervies" really missed it! look at the map: if the good ol' u.s.a. was a body, Hooksexup would just be paying attention to massaging everything but the middle. while being touched almost anywhere can be nice, they're not touching the middle, i bet they think they got "down there" because they're goin' to texas. on the map texas is like the legs (or the hips, depending on how you have the map/body oriented). oklahoma, nebraska missouri, kansas, or colorado would be the middle, and Hooksexup just ignores it. tsk, tsk!

07/20
I know that there are plenty of these posts, but I'd love to know where you're going to be in Portland. We've got the biggest independent bookstore in the nation... but you aren't on the calendar, nor in the alternative weeklies. This makes for sad Portlanders. I don't know who Plume is, but I hope they're not paying extra for whoever's 'planning' this tour. I really don't want to miss you two.

What the world needs now, what the world needs now..Is another yuppy sex manual!!!!:) "Tour" reads more like a past over storyline for 30 Something than anything Sex in the City. Em appears anxious over whether her hair is enough in keeping with between projects styles of starlets from People. Lo would rather be stretched out at home with the papers and good coffee and whitefish on the way. The guy in the middle with his arm around six girls is,sort of, like present day Hugh Hefner. Anway, its all good. Keep the info and photos coming!

Oh, Fargo eh? Uff da. That place is so ishy, and colder than a well digger's ass. Well, I dated Carol in Fargo. Not such a great experience but my first. Sex in Fargo outside in the van lets you feel what it is like to tap into a cold ass. Not in the chute, I'm telling ya! Carol got pregnant when she was 17 but didn't know why. She thought the orange balls on the highline wires at the end of the airstrip were to hold up the wires in case of flooding and that every Winnebago she saw belonged to her brother. In Forgo, you can pee your name in the snow, but be careful about you pee with, your friend who turns out to be gay and has a penchant for trying to pinch your nipples, even in the great white north. Not much to do there, except go snowcatting, parade around the mall and maybe to the bar. Back home to warm up naked with your girlfriend. Fortunately, women everywhere like sex. Best thing about Fargo is leaving it and moving to Florida.

This is really fucked up because when I first got the email it was totally blank. I didn't know that Hooksexup was coming in right across the street from me. I would have loved to have come to the party if I only never knew Hooksexup was in town :(. Last week I went to the Watertown just for a drink to check out their happy hour and low and behold 8minutedating.com was there. I met a very nice woman that night. I guess the Watertown is my new Friday evening bar.

07/19
I'm just a little confused about the tour... with no stops in Minneapolis, how will you set up your advice table at the MOA? I'm only asking because I have a few nickels to spare and because I'd love the chance to buy you fabulous ladies a drink! ...and because I live in Minneapolis (duh)
--DB
07/18
hey guys- we're setting up events as fast as we can, but it's all been a bit last minute. sorry about the confusion. here are the Seattle details... more to come on more cities soon. and if you can convince our publisher to send us on the road for three months instead of one, we promise to visit every city mentioned on this page when our second book comes out next year! EVENT #1 When: Friday Day, July 18, 1pm-3pm Where: The Fish Market We'll be dishing out sex advice in at the fish market (most likely on the grassy area behind the market, or wherever we won't get arrested -- we'll be posting our exact location at hooksexup.com/bigbang at 1.30 pm on Friday). So if you're in the neighborhood, stop by on your lunchbreak and say hi. Look for our folding table and chairs. EVENT #2 When: Friday Night, July 18, 8pm on Where: Watertown Bar (106 First Ave N, at the corner of Denny) Sure it's bit B&T, but maybe you can enjoy the scene ironically. If you get there before 10, you'll avoid the cover charge for the evening's Club Kiss event which we'll be sticking around for. If you get there before 9, you won't have to fight your way through the writhing masses to find us. Go to hooksexup.com/bigbang for more details. And please bring your friends.

Girls, you cannot leave out Canada! Montreal and Toronto are 2 of North Am top 10 biggest cities. Ok, you can forget about Toronto because it's basically like any other American city, but what about Montreal, land of the strip clubs (filled with very drunk teenage boys from New England), land of legal weed, land of the french-kiss (oui oui!), land of 4 major universities (pop 150 000 students, many from abroad - can you say emancipation?), land of the largest gay community after San-Fran, land of the free! Oh no, wrong country. anyways, make the trip, on vous attend! a bientôt!

Yes, where will you be?? We're all waiting for you in Seattle. some of us will even offer to buy you those drinks on the account of you being sex columnists, or show you good vegan eats!

07/16
So...Atlanta on a Sun/Mon in August. Bring your short shorts and halter tops ladies because that is about the middle of the dog days of summer here. Here is some other good advice. Stay at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. It is the greatest phallic symbol in this or most any town (if you need help I have contacts and can get you a deal). Even though it is a Sunday don't think you can use the stay here in the heart of the Bible Belt to recover from all your cross-country cavorting. There are some very interesting "clubs" in town like the Chamber that you should check out. I'm not so sure about a kareoake bar but, I know a few good spots for martinis. I'll buy and the two of you can drink until you want to jump up on the bar and sing. At that point I will hold back the bouncers and bribe the manager to let you finish the show. Seriously, let me know ladies. P.S. I have references if you want them!
--cwp

No stops in Canada? not even Montréal, the party town, during festival season (which happens to last all summer). Can't help but feel left out.

as long as you're in austin...could you drop by san antonio?..

you've got everything mapped out for us about your tour...except that you forgot to say where in the city you'll be...would mind tossing us a few addresses, or @ least a book store name or 2?..

Any chance you might make it to St. Louis?

07/16
I am right there with everyone else, please post where you will be at in Raleigh, NC. You can end up in some scary places in NC if you do not know where to go and are asking about a book on sex

Your "sex drive" page is just useless unless you're including store names. Seattle is a big frickin' town - what stores will you be in, there?

hello! come to Toronto!!!

07/15
Thanks everyone for the great feedback! We just kicked off the tour and will let you know as soon as we have specific places and dates -- it's all very last minute, but that's always the way. Just be sure to check back often and we should have some more details for you in the next few days on the big sex drive page. Check out our first tour blog entry on Fargo, going up today (tuesday, july 15th). And as far as all the states we're not getting to - we'd love to visit them, and spread the Hooksexup word, but we only had a month to hit as many cities as possible. Write to Plume and ask them to sponsor a tour of the midewest in the fall! Kiss noise, Em & Lo

PLEASE list store (or church, or car-wash) locations where you'll be appearing in the tour cities. Can't make plans until we know where you'll be.

WHERE WILL YOU BE IN LOS ANGELES? HMMMMM posting locations for your appearances??wonder if that would help turnout???

A Fair Distinction, between the typical Hooksexup introduction and The Big Bang, may be equivalent to the distinction between a cat and a dog in the endeavor of promiscuous sex. It's rarely discussed, but the distinction may be real. Dogs sniff out and pursue curiosities for engagements. The perception is that cats make themselves available but wait for it to come to them, both being somewhat indiscriminate in their tastes for encounters. How else is there to qualify the unique classification of cat people, dog people, or the approach either of these represents? While Hooksexup may take a "cat approach," it sounds as if the Big Bang is taking a "dirty dog" approach, as Tyson might characterize it, acceptance and embrace being built upon the curiosity and content created for profitability. In the interests of artistic freedom, good luck!
--pbr
07/13
I guess people living in New York City WOULD be the EXPERTS about people in Nashville, Memphis, St. Louis and Kansas City not: reading books, having sex, having anyone between the ages of 18 and 55 living here, or having ever supported Hooksexup in the past? And certainly NONE of your other writer's have ANY Midwestern roots. Sorry if this sounds a little bitter, but your did mark a pretty clear path for your tour.
--PEB
07/11
Many unanswered questions and still no blog entries – your panting audience want every sordid detail! But, most important: congratulations! I believe this book is an enormous milestone for Hooksexup (and I've been tracking its progress since the early days). And, if the ripe brilliance of the cover’s visual image is anything to go by, this book is set to become a classic. Unfortunately, I will miss the tour. Coming from deepest, darkest Africa, I will be in New York at the wrong time and there is no signing in Vancouver, my other destination this month.

have loved reading your columns and the excerpts are great! one question though, how will i know where you will be when you get into town?

One more consideration for your tour: upper northern California! If you drive (probably not on your itinerary) through the center of Redwood National Park, you could pose with a truly special friend. A twenty foot high rendition of Paul Bunyan's giant blue ox, Babe, complete with his giant blue balls. (www.treesofmystery.net)

so you are coming to Austin--let us know where the book signing is. Smart gals that you are--2 days in Austin and 1 in Houston-Austin is much cooler--but say, c ome to think of it, have you experienced Austin in August---jeeeeeeez it is hot. anyway-hope you enjoy it here--its a fun fun town [email protected]

Oh...pardon me...I meant adolescent MISinformation,
--sp
07/10
To JMB: I think it's a great idea to get the Big Bang for your (she better be!) pre-experimental 14 y.o. daughter. Most likely, she will be grossed out enough about the actual logistics to just WAIT, but even it she doesn't actually wait, at least she'll have better advice on her side than what she'd get from her friends and she'd be able to make informed decisions based not on "the talk" or on "the film" but on an actual accessible easy to understand manual. Tell your Wifey that just because an adolescent person is well-informed about sex doesn't make them run right out and start humping. (Duh!) In fact, quite the opposite is true in most cases. (You know that when something is supposed to be taboo you want it more...THAT is probably the number one reason for teen parenthood and teen STD infection.) That innocent, virginal "catholic girl" hush-hush should have gone out the window in like 1954. Get it for your kid. Let your wife be horrified, but allow your kid to protect herself with knowledge, not adolescent information.
--sp
07/10
Hey, I noticed that in "Big Sex Drive" you have twice mentioned the Twin Cities, yet according to the tour agenda the nearest you'll come is either Madison or (gasp) Fargo. What's the poop? Are you sneaking in incognito? You MUST come to the Twin Cities. I'm sure you must have friends or family here!! And if you don't now, you will by the time you get here.
--bp
07/09
I've been poking around looking for more info on your book tour. The website only lists dates and cities, but no specifics about where (Barnes and Noble or Pete's Pussy Palace?) or when. Please tell us where to go. If you tell us, we will come. Pun intended.
--NJS

Thanks for putting into words what i haven't read since "What every man should know about a Woman....Sexually" That arthor just used their initial, not sure I leave this around for my kids to read like my folks "accidentally" did. great sense of humor!

Got mine today - did a pre-order from Amazon. Love it,love it, love it. Edgy style, great graphics and art work. Each page turn is a surprise. My wife even said she liked it!! Was thinking of getting a copy for my 14 year old (pre-sexual - she better be) daughter - as a reference. My wife thought it was a bad idea...other's thoughts? Thanks Em & Lo - you dont remember it, but on the last day of the chat board we connected.....

Uh, I haven't read it yet. BUT, I will be first in line to get my copy signed when Em and Lo roll through San Diego. Right this way GRRRLS!
