A Quick (Nagging?) Reminder About Tour Dates Next Week

Hello!  As I get ready to leave for the Here I Go Again tour, I have a quick favor:

If you're coming to see me next week - and I hope you are! - I ask you to please pay attention to my Twitter feed on the day of the event you're attending, in the rare instance that I hit any travel snafus.  (I'm @altgeldshrugged over there.)  I'll also put updates on my Facebook page.

The only reason I mention this is that starting Tuesday, I'm going to be in two cities per day, which means planes, more planes, and automobiles.  We picked southern locations specifically so weather wouldn't be a factor.  However, I'm always anxious about connecting flights (ahem, DFW and ATL, I'm looking at you/your collective bitch-panic when it rains) so I just want to make sure everyone's up to date in case there's a delay.  I don't anticipate problems, but on the off chance one pops up, I want everyone to be informed.

That being said, I'm ridiculously excited to be adding the Tucson Festival of Books to my tour schedule, which takes place at the University of Arizona on March 9th and 10th.  I don't have many details yet, but can say I'm doing a panel with Laurie Notaro AND Quinn Cummings, which is just about the most badass thing ever.

Also, in case you missed the nine million announcements of where I'll be next week, here I go again (see what I did there?) with all the deets:
