Vital Status Report from NYC

[CLyane]

LITTLE CHARLIE AND ALEX!!!! :D

[OkalRelsDaughter]

Wow! Charlie and Alex after they shaved their head for charity! Oh and Katherines take on why the videos get made is so freakin true!!

[Kodamako713]

John and Hank are the best teachers ever!! Although we don't learn this until later.

[TheBioethicist]

the fact that Atlas Shrugged is in the background ruined the talk for me. Who put that there?

[TengoAkira]

Hey Charlie.

[mthsbandrocks]

I fucking love Maureen Johnson. She is so incredibly funny.

[TheShellbert]

Is Maureen Johnson from Minnesota? lol

[thecanadianDJ]

Hmm, gigantic Atlas Shrugged poster in the background.

[nekoninja1234]

"i'm famous as well. you can say that"

[TheFleurDeMer]

so when they first showed Charlie I was like "I know this kid... gosh where have I seen him fr-CHARLIE MCDONALD WHERE IS YOUR HAIR"

[LMNOP1214]

...what's up with Charlie's lack of hair...

[Vgirl0829]

@LMNOP1214 He had shaved it off for Cancer UK research, because he and alex both promised that if they raised a certain amount of money they would do it.

[LMNOP1214]

@Vgirl0829 Yeah, I didn't actually know that a week ago lol. I found that out like, yesterday, because I read it somewhere. It was a pretty cool thing to do :)

[Vgirl0829]

@LMNOP1214 Yeah, I know. I mean, although I prefer the way both Alex and Charlie look with longer hair. It was pretty amazing that they did it for Cancer Research. :D

[TheKatsProductions]

I watched charlie's video about doing this instead of meet the queen. ahhhh

[cleodel88]

Lol, the Sarah Palin accent.

[Sleepover137]

I didn't expect charlie and Alex to be there... that almost gave me a heart attack

Gosh I can remember that Charlie talked about this meeting in one of his vlogs.... that's scary!

[PurpleCahw]

Ohmygod. I have a video using the same voice Maureen does. Sweeeeeeeet.

[NotTheAverageDude]

Was Maureen trying to do a Minnesotan accent? If so, it was pretty darn accurate. And irritating :P

[CharmedSlayerr]

Probably in the picture book section

Maureen <3

[TheHatOfDestiny]

"tom cruise is going to play the town, that's what I heard"

LOL xD

[arose2165]

[TheGummyBearOverLord]

[Ameliaisntimaginary]

omg Alex and Charlie with no hair..

[dumbledorerox98]

Is it just me or does the Katherine with glasses remind you a tiny tiny bit of Bonnie Gruesen?

[dumbledorerox98]

Oh... I didn't recognize Charlie...

[npsalm121]

"i'm famous as well...you can say that" haha, charlie

[blackrraven]

BE MY TEACHER!!!!

[lilteddymouse]

"...when we get some dinner with MY parents and OUR cousin."

Don't...don't you have the same parents, as well as the same cousin? Everything I know is a lie!

[harvestguy204]

Katherine makes me happy XD

[muffin2413]

Holy crap, I didn't even recognize Charlie until John said his name! O_o

[kaikiyukionna27]

I was like, "Who's the skinhead?"

Then he said it was charlie. "O__O OMG IT IS!! :D"

[4LiveLifeWithLove4]

Is it bad that I'd TOTALLY rather meet John and Hank than the Queen of England?

[OkalRelsDaughter]

@4LiveLifeWithLove4 huh no I don't think that's bad at all. I WOULD TOTALLY RATHER MEET JOHN GREEN THAN THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND! I mean what is she too me?

[Teeftlis]

lol Maureen

[AlyssaMarie508]

I was wondering who that guy in the green shirt was. It's Charlie! I didn't recognize him because he was bald.

[nerdfighterbooks]

is morine johnson irish or something? she sounds like it :)

[CantCatchThatBug]

Maureen's fake accent sounds like Amy Pond

[singlexfilexisxlove]

John would paying the world a huge favor if he became a teacher.

[Lauraa4023]

CHARLIE :D

[rikko338]

...Charlie...Alex?! What the help happened to you hair?! You look so young...

[LifeMustard]

[senorsqueakydesk]

I like your comment about writing. Maureen is hilarious!

[Frunobulaxian]

What Maureen says near the end is epic.

[MUTEscifan31W]

Aaaaaah! Scott Westerfeld! (Fangirliness! Get down. Remove yourself from my presence!)

[sydneyinspiration]

OH MY GOD. Scott Westerfeld?!

I wish I could've been there.

[SMWhannell]

Katherine is so adorable!  She seriously had me cracking up!

Congrats on the awesome launch party, guys. I can tell you had a lot of fun!

[14hp1]

I love the look on John's face when Hank says his name while they're at the restaurant place.

And the "That's to close!" part XD

[bensonhams]

I miss Charlie's hair. :(

[drakendark]

oh man this video was awesome... i watched it like 3 times in a row ... and that particular scene "THAT'S TOO CLOSE!" like 5 times ... lol.

And the diner scene was also a lot of fun... with john's look, and Maureen's eating face lol

[Nic33rd]

Yee-haw!

Was that Maureen Johnson near the end? Because she was definitely awesome!

[myshangrila]

I love Maureen Johnson!

[SoILoveCheese2011]

lmao

"That's too close!"

[speede179]

According to Charlie, John not only pwnz Oprah, but he pwnz the Queen of England. :)

[the5regularguys]

I so wish I could have made it to New York for this... or any of the other made of awesome meet-ups!

Darn my lack of money!

[RxS4Lyfe]

Who is the person talking about "Tom Cruise is playing the town..."

I'm having a dumb moment.

[SpartanM621]

Ahaha, Its Marueen Johnson.

She kinda has a hatred of john..

[ccorr521]

fav quote 'be reading that'

[SirCaseyoftheLea]

OMFRILL!

[shmaller]

[link99999107]

I wish I had been there. T-T

BUT THAT'S WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR! Haha.

[FancyNewAmie]

[PogoFONG]

I am so behind on my videos!!! :'(

Wish I could have seen you Hank!

[KelseyMilk]

[lovelyceejay]

god i wish i was there 0.o

[dark420bishop]

Looks awesome! I wish I could have been there! :D

[Astarya]

I know I'm behind on watching the videos...but I have a good excuse: I was finishing Paper Towns. Now, I don't cry at anything-whether from a mysterious alien abduction of my tear glands or a complete and utter lack of estrogen (theories about)-but Paper Towns made me well up, which on any normal person is bawling to the point of migraines. So thank you for effecting me and letting me feel so strongly for this moment in time.

[CallidoraLBlack]

Oh, Maureen Johnson, wonderful review but I think we got different books, mine doesn't have pictures :o)

Also, if John Green were a teacher I would so go to that school no matter where it was (I'd probably have to fight off all the other nerds trying to get in though).

[theoriginalnetsirk]

Maureen Johnson is awesome! That review was hilarious! and her story in Let it Snow is incredible, and all the three stories just meld into a great big pot of Christmas awesome! Okay, enough exclamation points.

[lumosbrightlight]

I love Maureen Johnson's little Sarah Palin imitation. So hilarius!

[prosandconns]

[samanthak2205]

Oh my god. That was just like a collection of awesome. Maureen Johnson, Scott Westerfield, John, Hank, and Charlie. All in one place.

"I hear it's about paper, which is nice. It'll probably be in the picture book section." Haha. Maureen Johnson is so cool.

[JanellelovesColin]

Agreed. Maureen is made of Awesome.

As of course are Hank and John.

=)

[mildew93]

when you first showed charlie my initial reaction was "Who's the cancer patient sitting in a small room with John Green?"

[NINJAPIRATEP0WER]

best wishes!

[bummercucumber]

Oh gosh. Sarah Palin endorsing "Paper Towns?"

Probably only because she heard the author also wrote "Looking for Alaska."

This looked wildly fun.

[twiggsterr]

Why not DC?!

[TheHill88]

Congratulations and best of luck with everything!

I had a great time hanging out with everyone.

It's going down in my blog :P

[VanessaUndiscovered]

[theblackpawn]

LOL Maureen Johnson was hilarious at the end!

[HazeLovesMaryJane]

Was that the Yetti? The one at the end who pretended not to know what Paper Towns was about.

[thedoubletake]
