Does anybody know why Alexis is skipping the Southeast? I'd love to make it and we have some very big cities, but he's not headed for this direction according to the schedule:

Did I miss some?

I know we aren't hitting them all, but we are going to 77 schools (150+ stops) over 5 months, which is already unprecedented for a book tour. I wish we could go everywhere folks have asked, but there's only so much time I can take my team away from their lives and loved ones.


I agree: pretty insane scheduling.

I guess I was assuming you'd target the top 20 largest cities. When you passed through North Carolina, for instance, you skipped over Charlotte. It's a solid 2 and a half hours away from Raleigh, so not an easy trip for students.

You could setup something at UNCC. They have an enrollment of over 26,000. http://uncc.edu


I also thought that was pretty lame. I tweeted at him about coming to the University of Alabama when he was asking about where to stop. If any area needs to know that disruption is not just an option, but absolutely possible, is the South.


I was bummed we couldn't make it to Alabama but our logistics are already pretty crazy. 150+ stops. But plenty are in the South.
