Yesterday (September 21, 2006) was the first day of Julie Powell's tour for the paperback edition of Julie & Julia. This edition has a new cover design and new subtitle--"My Year of Living Dangerously." Her first stop was at Olsson's Book and Records in Washington, DC, and the tour will take her to many venues all across the country.

There is at least one other reading that's not on the above list--Sunday, October 22 in Branford, CT. However, I don't know were the reading will be held. If I find this out, or the dates and locations of any additional Julie Powell events, I will post them here.
Since the hardback edition won the inaugural Lulu Blooker Prize, and Julie is one of the judges for the 2007 Prize, we commissioned a special tour t-shirt to be handed out at each venue. We have also provided Blooker buttons, stickers, and informational brochures (I know that last one is exciting!). However, quantities are limited, so if you want some Blooker swag, you should get there early!
