Like I explained on Monday, our distribution strategy is a typical indie one: 125 screens the first weekend, 300 or so the second, then wide expansion into about 2000 by the third weekend, which will cover the whole country.

This will mean that for some of you, the movie won't be getting to your city for two or three more weeks. This sucks, but please understand why we are doing it this way: It's because this is how we have to do it in order to give the movie the best chance of success given t...

There are 31 total stops on the I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell Premiere Tour, and we have successfully completed 16 of them. We're over the halfway hump, but by no means are we coasting to the finish. We still have the LA premiere, which is going to be big, and all the midwest stops, which should be super fun. Anyway, we have some updates and announcements for the next two weeks:

-Extra tickets: I keep getting emails about tickets for sold out shows, and I keep telling people the same thing:

"A...

After a long wait, the official green band trailer for the "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" movie is up, watch it now.

We are also doing a Premiere Tour leading up to the September 25th release of the movie. You can buy tickets here. What the Premiere Tour is:

Instead of just doing one boring premiere in LA like every movie does, we are going to do 31 premieres, in 31 different cities all around the country, one each day leading up to the opening weekend. The local Premiere's won't just be the scr

I totally forgot to post this here:

Somehow I was nominated to Time Magazines 100 Most Influential list for 2009. I don't really get it either, but I am #25 right now, and you can still vote for me here.

This makes me laugh, because they have never given me one ounce of press, until this. How you can go from being uncoverable to being one of their 100 Most Influential People is beyond me.

Also, the first press review of the movie is out, you can read it here. All the news about the release and ever

Amazon just made my next book available for pre-release ordering, get it here.

It still won't be out for awhile, but if you order it now you can forget about it, and when it drops it'll come to you in the mail.

Announcement about the release date of the movie is coming soon, I promise. Hold tight.

Columbus, OH on May 11th: Doing a speech at Ohio State, then going out that night in Columbus.

Dallas, TX on June 3rd and 4th: Throwing out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game. Totally serious. Then hosting a bar event and getting really drunk with ho Texas girls.

You are not going to believe this. I can still barely believe it, and I was there.

I did a speech at Ohio State on Monday, and it was bedlam. The auditorium was completely packed with fans--that's normal--but for the first time ever, I had real protesters. And not just a few, like almost 100, and they went fucking nuts. It was AWESOME!

But this was bigger than just having people pissed at me and getting attention. I get that shit on the internet and in the media all the time. This was one of the

FINALLY!

No one has been waiting for this longer than me:

The movie I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell opens for wide release on September 25th, 2009.

Put it on your calender, write it down in pen, that is our opening date. It's not going to change.

Now to the obvious questions:

-How does this affect The IHTSBIH Premiere Tour?
Since lots of schools start in mid-August, we are going to start the tour in late August and run it all the way up to the release, and maybe even a week or two past the releas
