Party Time
Paula and I are up early this morning to head for Seattle. Tonight is the first of two Naked Conversations launch parties, this one, engineered and choreographed by Buzz Bruggeman and Maryam Scoble, is in the home of John and Alison Dillow. I understand it's a frop-your-jaw beautiful place, and these folks are just so very generous. I understand this soiree will be attended by about 100 people and Robert and I will get to sign books, hopefully lots of them.
So many people are being so generous to us. So much support for us and our new baby.
Shel and Robert: Massachusetts has Naked Conversations! Hingham Barnes & Noble had two copies. Now they have one. :) I'm off to cancel my Amazon order.
Congrats!

Great news for us, Donna. Bad news for Amazon. The book has also been sighted at Barnes & Noble, Bellingham, WA.

Congrats, sounds like the book is going great guns and that you're having great fun riding the wave. You deserve it for the work you put in.
Too bad there's not a public promo of the book here in Seattle. I'd stop by and shake your hand.

There are a few copies of the book at Barnes and Noble in Redwood City.

John,
That's the B&N closest to me. That's awesome news. I'm in Seattle until Monday, but I'll have to go in there as soon as I get home on Monday.

Wonderful gathering last night -- my wife Jen and I are very much looking forward to digging into the book over the next couple of weeks.
The DNA of the work we've seen so far seems very important beyond the business arena -- toward the many sectors of the culture that are being affected by these sweeping changes toward personable honesty.
(Those three extra copies you signed are for pastor friends of ours who are wrestling with these topics in their respective circles).
Thanks again to you and Robert both for the work -- wishing you much success to the project.

Thanks for these kind words and for spreading the word to those who are adept at spreading the word.
