Save the Date(s): Upcoming History of the World Events
by Jason English - October 22, 2008 - 2:22 PM

With every good book comes a good book tour, and we’re excited to announce a few dates today. If you live in the vicinity of Birmingham, New York City, Boston or Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, come out and say hello as we celebrate the release of The Mental Floss History of the World:

history-of-world1.jpgTuesday, November 11: Birmingham, AL
Alys Stephens Center (Sirote Theatre)
7:00pm

Tuesday, November 11: Brooklyn, NY
Diamond Bar
126 Franklin St.
8:00pm

Wednesday, November 12: Cambridge, MA
Grafton Street Bar
1256 Massachusetts Ave.
Time TBA

Friday, November 14: Brooklyn, NY
Barnes & Noble (Park Slope)
267 7th Ave.
7:00pm

Thursday, November 20: Durham, NC
Barnes & Noble
5400 New Hope Commons
7:30pm

I’m not exactly sure what the plan is for each event (details to come), but the Diamond Bar and Grafton Street Bar parties will involve trivia contests, strange prizes, and posing for photos that will end up back here on the blog. Mangesh and I (and senior editor Jenny Drapkin) are hoping to meet some of our New York-area readers at the Diamond Bar. So grab a Sharpie and mark your calendar.

(Then bring your Sharpie and Mangesh will sign your book.)

  8. Have you ever considered coming to Omaha, NE? Or even Council Bluffs, IA (which is right across the river from Omaha)? Not a lot of people come to Omaha for anything other than Baseball at Rosenblatt or some random concert at the Qwest Center with people I’ve never even heard of. But, we do have a lot of book stores and a lot of booknerds (I worked in a bookstore) so please consider it.

  10. I know this will never happen in a million years, but it would make my life if you stopped by Jackson MS. I’m probably the only flosser in a 300 mile radius, so the visit would be strictly for my pleasure. But a girl can dream can’t she?

  11. Hooray! You’re coming to Birmingham! Sweet!
