Project for Awesome: Libraries and First Book

[dyslexicdreamer]

gona try!

[richardidntwantodie]

I did that to my local library and then I found one I put there a few months later, no-one had even looked at the star wars book:(

[barendbos]

hey hank and john

[TheWeaselette]

When I'm old enough to move to an English-speaking country, I'll do this a few times a week, I promise =)

[RavenclawDeatheater1]

*leaves to her library to go do this*

[alexlynk]

I've been there! :)

[dancerstarmonkey]

Kristina, this video is how I found out about nerdfighters about 3 years ago. Thank you :) Nerdfighteria has changed my life

[SailorBJupiter]

OMG before I return an Abundance of Katherines I'm putting a note in it that says NERDFIGHTERIA!!! then the link to the vlogbrothers. Yeah I'm that awesome.

[DunderMifflinTWSS]

I didn't know you started the nerdfighter notes phenomenon! I found one the other day at Barnes and Noble :)

[SaDiEPaTTinSoN]

Im going to make cards right now and go to the libary tomarrow!

only because today is a Sunday and the libary is'nt open :(

[swimmersgirl]

I wanna do this too!!

[ManEatingPlants]

Not at this library, but at a different library I saw a note from a nerdfighter in a Harry Potter book. I did become a nerdfighter. :D

[zanirra]

i love that library.. so many books... our school library is tiny

[McManiacGirl]

did this in my school and town library.

and my school librarian helped! she actually has a youtube account! nerdfighter librarians!

[Pizzazz89]

im a nerdfighter and i don't like books

[dagerthinkstoomuch]

I did the same thing last month!

[DarwinsAWhore]

whats a nerdfighter

[randyduks]

:|.... are you being serious?

[DarwinsAWhore]

ya ok i dont know

[randyduks]

If yo watch/ are subscribed to the vlogbrothers(John + Hank Green) then you are classed as a nerdfighter :)

[VrtyBrtn]

I am so going to do this. :)

[thegirlinthatbox]

dec 17 thats my b-day!!!!!

[PataponGirl]

Nicely done.

Project for Awesome is truly Awesome.

=)

[aejrecbe]

That is a magnificent idea! And I love libraries!

[Abbycrombie708]

your brother!! =]

[xoYoursTrulyxo]

I am so going to put subliminal messages in my library.

[circusdoodle]

So am I :)

[littlemisstwilighter]

me too :D

[hpfan124]

i am totally doing that. i checked out peeps like before i watched this.

[ZoardFilms]

just kidding.

[chickengurly572]

BRILLIANT.

Nerdfighters ftw!

[soybeansrock]

this might sound stupid,but how do you become a nerdfighter?

[PeanutGalaxy]

You probably already are. All you need are a few nerdy habits or obsessions and voila. Most people are nerds and they just dont know it...yet.

[soybeansrock]

do you have to sign up a from or somthing or can just be one?

[greenscalydinosaur]

no, you don't have to sign up. If you want to be one you just ARE...

Most people call themselves nerdfighters partly because they watch John and Hank's videos on youtube . co m/ vlogbrothers

[katieee789]

my dream is to see you one day, in an obscure place, so i can suprise you with my nerdfighter symbol.

[Raffersx3]

i like yer b/g music.

[randomgrl13]

i'm so convincing my librarians to let my wizrock friend and i to do this! this will infletrate the whole school!!

[lenna117]

[supersexysix]

[larranag]

Thank you for supporting first book.

Ireadaloud

[xxbluemassacrexx]

peeps O_O

scott westerfeild rocks.

[dazzledfrequently]

This video makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW.

It's Crystal, by the way. Haha.

I work in a library... Why haven't I joined in with this yet??

[Scobow27]

what is a nerdfighter?? care to explain?

[climbingdan]

You may have discovered an answer in the week since you left this question, but a nerdfighter is a nerd who fights to decrease world suck, as described by the Vlog Brothers last year in their vlog.

[VerdantStatue]

You're so awesome.

[alvp123]

dude i remember my first book! Green Eggs and Ham oh yeah!

I really want to donate money to that organization.

[chicabush]

I love First Book!  Thanks for including them!

[missdivinestalls]

YOURE IN ISSAQUAH!! I am in Seattle. Wow! That's so cool.

[itsimanji]

You put one in looking for Alaska! And Harry Potter!

Yay!

[piggiesrocktheworld]

Go nerdfighters! Great video here, guys.

[HoshiTski]

An excellent idea!

 I'm going to the library.

[alectoCarrow]

awsome, definitely! ^-^

[Kangarooth]

That's such a great idea! A lovely video :)

Hoo Hah!

[teammember]

You people are goofy! Didn't you know books are serious things?

[itsnotproper]

Books are serious in some respects yes, but they're too awesome to only be that. They're fun, so we have fun with them. :D

[chocoholic003]

i am a ghost sitting at the computer i love to haunt living people a lot because i hate them, hate them i tell you HHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT­TTTTTTEEEEEEEE TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEE­EEMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S THIS VIDEO KILLED ME!!!!

[Herooftimex]

comment!!!!

[Emikay]

That is a great idea!

I often write little notes as I'm reading books and then sticky note them on the page I'm on and forget to take them out when I check it back in ...

But this is a whole new method of passing notes.

I'm going to start leaving notes promoting literary charities in all the books I check out!

[tAgRiNa16]

i work at Borders Bookstore in Southcenter and we were able to donate over $2,000 worth of books to FirstBook!

FirstBook is an amazing organization...just imagine if you were never given your own first book...how horrific is that!?!

[xXxMagicalMandixXx]

The fangirling helped the comments, I'm sure.

But it's too bad he goes to the bathroom. Poor fangirls.

Is he a nerdfighter too?

[annawritedraw]

I'm still catching up on videos as there were so many of them. Yours brought tears to my eyes. What a peaceful wonderful nerdfighting battle you waged. Lovely. Just lovely.

Anna

[LaBelleRiviere]

WOW!!!!! that was totally made of awesome. thanks for doing something about reading

[somelikeitscarlet]

HAHA You guys rock! I love this one, it is my favorite!

[teacherlibrarian]

Thanks, girls. I just gave $50 to First Book.

You are amazingly adorable.

[itsnotproper]

That's so incredible!

[zonalcarlo]

At last... i see the best charity off all!!!

Thanx for the tip girls

[itsnotproper]

Tell your friends about nerdfighters, show them what it's all about, and perhaps they'll want to go with you!

(I've convinced a lot of my friends to be Nerdfighters too!)

[itsnotproper]

That would be nice, but I'm sure, eventually, somehow they'll find a networking system that will far surpass the internet that we'll use.

I love the internet, but its future eveolution sounds pretty darn exciting.

[seadame]

beautiful girls-good work

[HaleyMary]

Very cool.

[itsnotproper]

Wow, second day and nerdfighters are still dominating the most discussed page!

Now that's what I call power! :D

[Pertrosfoliea]

iKnow, it is so awesome!

[itsnotproper]

For sure. I wonder how long this will last?

Haha.

I guess now it's about keeping them up there, although I'm not exactly sure how that works, whether it starts over or stays up until another video replaces it.

[cipher747]

wow cool!

[flamehead339]

Yes! still in the most discussed! hoo ha!

[Heliospheric123]

I like that for most of the video you are whispering, 'cos, you are in a library! Shhh.

[Heliospheric123]

I back again at this great video - I like the music, and you two are so funny! Little nerfighting library gnomes!

[Urdska]

Yay! It's wednesday and I'm watching this video yet again!!!

[trinah1990]

Awesome!

The looking for Alaska one and the children's picture book made me smile.

[gixboy]

AWESOME!! This is by far my favorite today!!

[D1n9e12l5]

I don't think anyone's here, but keep commenting! although the wine kone's a pretty cool youtuber...

[cs149204]

perfect charity. this is wonderful. i'm so glad you're doing this and spreading the word. power to the librarians!

[CCroskey33]

majorly excellent.

probably one of my faves.

the poor nerdfighters who dont actually know that they are nerdfighters.

awesome way to decrease worldsuck!

[jmk6]

haha, i love that you put it in picture books.

[harrypotter4life]

I love this video. Great cause. I'm considering this one.

[emilysaysgo]

Wow, is it lame that I'm so excited because a) THAT'S MY LIBRARY! gotta love the 'quah. ;) and b) I kind of know one of those girls? Sort of? In a distant, I-think-I-met-you-once-but-I-d­efinitely-know-who-you-are kind of way?

Anyway, I'm thrilled that my local library got to help decrease worldsuck, and that it got to be on the most discussed page! Great video, you guys are definitely made of awesome!

[itsnotproper]

Which Girl do you know?

Liz or Tina?

Haha, I'm Liz, the one who's vlog this is not. The short brunette. :D

Also, yeah, Issaquah ftw!

[emilysaysgo]

Yeah, I figured. :) And Tina.

[emarter]

I just wanted to say again how awesome I think your video is! You guys are made of pure awesome! Keep doing your thing :D

[kaylin762004]

nerd fighters ending world suck one video at a time.

[AntiEverything]

Best PFA video I've seen yet! Way to be awesome!

[HAMSTERk]

Okay, I'm commenting again because I LOVE this video, and the idea of it. Subliminal Nerdfighting? Frick yeah!

You guys definitely did not forget to be awesome!

[LoonyEmilia]

XDDDDD Subliminal messages all the way!

Nerdfighters = le awesomeness. Lost on the charities though. DX

[stenforthewin]

What a wonderful idea! You've inspired me to spread the nerdfighterdom.

I absolutely love this video.

[wannabeinhogwarts]

Yay!

Wrock Nerdfighters FTW!

I sill can't believe how popular this video has gotten.

Thanks to Nerdfighters, it has now FAR surpassed both your Phoenix Rising video & your banana video with most views & comments! Yay!

[itsnotproper]

I know, Nerdfighters have made the fact that Tina's most popular videos some people are porn at thing of the past!

(did that make sense?)

[itsnotproper]

add the word "think" in there and it makes a litttttle more sense.

Wow, I meant that Nerdfighter's awesome replaces non nerdfighters not awesome enough for everything to turn out positive!

[CaptainCockatiel]

Oh my goodness! I am also a WA nerdfighter and I have been contemplating doing that (putting nerdfighter ntoes in books) for SO LONG! Now I really must do it the next time I'm at the library...

Awesome charity. :D

[itsnotproper]

You must do it! :D

[NotMinistryApproved]

Bah...myspace can't stop the wrock, and it can't stop the nerdfighting either ;)

Oh look...I'm commenting on this video again...I guess it's cause it's AWESOME ;)

[Heidirs]

go reading nerdfighters!

[Heidirs]

Wow, I want to go to a library and do what you did!

[HPbooklvr7]

I don't really understand the whole "nerdfighter" thing, but I want to be one. I'm not sure what I can do though because I'm only 13

[Heidirs]

Go wizard rocking nerdfighters!

[Heidirs]

Great charity guys!

[Heidirs]

You guys are awesome!

[Heidirs]

It's so sad when people don't realize their nerdfighters.

[neeshaknowsall]

I cant WAIT for this to be on the news...we shold get someone from news 8 or somthing on board...

[Pumpkie234]

im gonna do that to my school library!!!

[teacherlibrarian]

All my librarian friends want you to come be students in their schools.

[bfayer]

Issiquah not awesome

[splitATtheseams]

Um, you made me cry. That was an awesome promotion and video. I'm glad my friend (another totally awesome librarian) emailed me about it. Go Nerdfighters!

[KyandiKat17]

Awsome idea!

[jackalbane]

Awesome idea. Wizardrocker nerdfighting all the way!

[jackalbane]

By the way, what song did you use for your video?

[auntiebabs]

Egggggzzzellent

[whackthemutt]

NerdFighters = Made of Awesome

[Spamalope]

I <3 Nerdfighters.

[rbrtblknp]

Don't forget, she can kill you with her brain...

[rbrtblknp]

One of the best SPFA videos I've watched. Very entertaining. Awesome charity, and awesome way to promote it (and brotherhood2.0)

(I feel like I've typed "awesome" too many times today.) Does the word "Awesome" get less awesome if you over use it?

[ImKTBQ]

BRILLIANT!

[KookyLibrarian]

Still happy to see this video!

[Neelefe]

Amazing and awesome from a nerdfighter in Seattle !

[coffeeshopgirl]

Seattle rocks my socks

[Wantabanana]

Definitely a great day-trip from Vancouver.

[coffeeshopgirl]

Vancouver washington or canadia -both beautiful- either way

[LizlikesHPalot]

[DracosSexySlytherin]

[mandacrack]

this has to be my favorite secret project video yet. but ive only watched about 20 videos so far.

[CynicalSavior]

I'm calling fake!

Nerdfighters are not supposed to be that good lookin! ;)

[bibliocat4]

I have to go celebrate my graduation! Bye!

[jasjacks77]

I like to read!

[TheCinephile]

I think we should really expand this whole Nerdfighting front to include libraries all over the English speaking world...

[flamehead339]

more comments! keep this one on the radar! books are my favourite nerdfigthin' cause.

[shamelessboyz]

Great Vid!

[Amy31415]

I'm going to do what you guys did, but I'm a hardcore nerd-physics, chemistry, math and hell, maybe Dr. Phil's books just for the heck of it!

Rock on nerds!

[checkitwill]

what a noble cause!

[Princesspi]

I love libraries :D

[Amy31415]

Stealth Nerdfighters--you have already decreased world suck immensely!

Beautiful!

[checkitwill]

woo!

[SSacapuntas]

We sill doing this? Because I want to beat Huckabee. And I mean, we beat Ron Paul, so Huckabee really shouldn't be that much of a challenge.

[Amy31415]

Heh, you "beat" Ron Paul because a lot of his supporters, like me, think this is a great thing.

Especially when it comes to books, great cause.

[BIGTomWellingFan]

hey that's such a great idea!!! nice video! yeah...I would never forget to be awesome ;)

[ryanthenerdfighter]

Wow that is awesome, we're going to do that in our local library!

[checkitwill]

i didn't really watch this, but i assume it's good.

[StevenNC]

lol it happens.

[nerdfighter314]

you should watch this one it was one of my favourites =)

[cluteplayer]

Way to be awesome! That is so cool!

GO NERDFIGHTERS!

[maggiehanna]

How does this only have four star rating? Who could possibly be rating this lower than awesome?

Just a random comment: I actually say this video before I saw Hank's explaination because it was up before it.

I guess that's how awesome Kristina is. :-)

[PurpleLoki]

niiice

[angelwild327]

BOOKS TOTALLY ROCK!!! and they're, of course, AWESOME!!! LIBRARIES FTW!!

[froggvixen]

This is so fun to watch :) And I love the music! Yay books. :)

[froggvixen]

DFTBA! I love libraries... when I was a kid, I would check out so many books that my mom would have to check some out on her library card... why do they have limits on kid's library cards? Not fair!

[froggvixen]

Aw this is an amazing video! Go WA (I'm in Seattle).

[climbingdan]

I don't remember my FIRST book; I don't remember not HAVING books!  I had all kinds of books; my parents read to me. Once I learned how to read, I was off reading books like a madman.

Speaking of which, I think I'll take my car to the body shop now and take something to read.

[HaShomeret]

all because hank and john got alot of viewrs and decided to decrease world suck and all the nerdfighters were like "yeah!!!" and every one went out and started fighting to make the world a better place by connecting and feeding the hungry and leaving notes of nerdfighterness in books in libraries. i'm so happy and full of hope. thank you guys. and the i love the music too.

[HaShomeret]

but then i kept wachting and i actualy almost cried. i almost cried becuase we are really doing it, the nerdfighters are really going out there and nerdfighting and decreasing worldsuck. not just a little, like alot.

[HaShomeret]

so when i first started wachting this vid i thought "wow, this vid is really really awsome."

[Devikittygirl]

Very awesome nerfighting there and very awesome charity!

My first book was The Foot Book: Dr. Seuss!

gogoNERDFIGHTERS!

[climbingdan]

This is a really great vid! Sadly, I've not made time to go to my local library yet, though I did get a library card at another nearby branch when I was helping my girlfriend print using library computers. Now I just need to use the card!

[slhilbert]

On a scale from 1-Awesome how awesome are you?

[slhilbert]

I have a confession, I like the smell of old nasty books and natural gas, or at least the smell they put into natural gas so you can smell it. Does that make me weird?

[slhilbert]

Hmm.... I should be working, but it is near christmas and what not.... I should just increase Nerd Powerness

[slhilbert]

Every second I don't work, I decrease my income. However, every second I do this I decrease world suck.... a quandry.

[slhilbert]

I was given some furniture and on it was the original price tag from 1962, that was neat.

[climbingdan]

Heh heh heh, that would be a problem for the Brotherhood 2.0 resident mathematician Daniel What's-his-name to calculate...if he has time with all of his political work.

[slhilbert]

I always go with Wicked Awesome on that scale.

[slhilbert]

One of the coolest things I ever found in an old book was someones cable bill from 1978. That was pretty neat, just see what it says and what not.

[slhilbert]

Once I took my trash out with nothing on but a pair of pants and a ski mask. Ahhh college.

[slhilbert]

Sometimes...
