Updated post! We’ve added events from all across the country (even one event in Vietnam!) for the anniversary of The Fault in Our Stars! Check below for a live streaming or trivia (or both!) event near you. We will be adding to this list as we receive more details about new events, so check back!
It’s been a year since the publication of Green’s acclaimed The Fault in Our Stars. To mark the anniversary, Green and his brother will be speaking at Carnegie Hall—and everyone is invited, via live streaming video! Find an event near your hometown and you won’t have to miss a second of it. Be sure to check your local event, as some are first come first serve (no tickets), and some require reservations.
You can also host your very own meetup, and watch the Vlogbrothers livestream with Nerdfighters near you! Register at tumblr.com/meetups/organize and include the phrase ‘John Green Meetup’ in the venue field to receive a special Tumblr Meetup kit, while supplies last. 15 lucky people who sign up for a meetup kit will come with extra goodies, including a signed copy of the exclusive poster above!

16 Vo Truong Toan Street, An Phu Ward, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamFrom California to Vietnam, people will be gathering to watch the Carnegie Hall Show with Hank and me and the Mountain Goats and other special guests. You could watch it at home on your computer, but it will be far more fun with other nerdfighters!
To get to the Grand Rapids nerdfighter gathering from my apartment I’d have to walk for about three hours or ride my bike for about one… :\

WHAT FUCKING BOOK IS THIS

↳3) John green “Saying ‘I notice you’re a nerd’ is like saying, ‘Hey, I notice that you’d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you’d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?’ In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even ‘lame’ is kind of lame. Saying ‘You’re lame’ is like saying ‘You walk with a limp.’ Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he’s done all right for himself.”
