Maddie
Maddie asked Tommy Wallach:

So, We All Looked Up is one of my favorite books. How did the concept of it come about?

Tommy Wallach Mostly inspired by the film "Melancholia," to be honest!

Emily asked Tommy Wallach:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ Okay, I recently just listened to "We All Looked Up: The Album." I loved it from the very start. I just want to get one thing straight: Is "Countdown" about Eliza, or some other person? Otherwise, I really love your music. Thank you! (hide spoiler)]

Wren
Wren asked Tommy Wallach:

(refreing to previous question you answered) YES THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT, thank you :D It really made me think and I wanted to put it on a poster for my wall. Wouldn't it be great if we could single word search in paper books?

Jacques
Jacques asked Tommy Wallach:

Is a tour for Thanks for the Trouble in the works? P.S. - My boyfriend went to high school with you, so he especially enjoyed reading We All Looked Up! As did I, of course. :)
