The reader-generated tour begins
The reader-generated tour for Citizen Marketers is about to get underway. Naturally, it starts in Vegas.
Many of the events we're doing are private (i.e., inside companies), but a handful are open to anyone (except Chuck Klosterman). For events where you see "TBA," more info is to come. Fear not, our crack team of web gnomes is always updating the list with the latest info, and you can always find it here (scroll down.)
Now, I bring you, by the shimmering light of a Zippo lighter in the 14th row, the Reader-Generated 2007 Tour schedule, (ready for silkscreening onto the back of a t-shirt)!

Contact our tourmaster Launa Post at 724-225-8664 or launa [AT] customerevangelists.com for details.
Now all we need is a van and an entourage.

Enjoy the tour! I just finished Citizen Marketers last night & I love it! There were so many stories I hadn't heard and it was fascinating learn about them.
Speaking of podcasts, can we expect another episode of the Church of the Customer podcast any time soon?
Cool! When you find out what your St. Louis plans will be comprised of, let me know! I would love to meet one or both of you!
Ben/Jackie,
Congratulations on having co-created such an impressive speaking tour for CM. You put my 2-3 talks done for my last book (Brand Stretch) to shame!
I will aim to do better for book 4 (where's the sausage) when its out in September!
When in Paris... and Europe at large!! ??
congrats on all,
see you in NY end of month, Take care

You two will have some fun! And deservedly so - congratulations on a fine and extremely readable book!
Still love the research -
Eric -- Thanks dude. Your story was extra fun to tell.
Mack -- Well, um, I, ah, it ahhhhh... hey, look over there! It's a unicorn!
David -- Better reserve your tour bus now.
Laurent -- I think a European tour could be possible if we enough interest for about... hmmmm.. a dozen gigs. If anyone reading reading this is in Europe and would be interested in hosting a tour stop and buying 200 books, let me know.
Bob -- I hope there's some opportunity for fun. My fun would be to eat in each city's best restaurant.
