  • "When I wake up. Well I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you."

    I love that song and now it's stuck in my head. :)

  • @Aragogll I'm happy to take that advice, but I'm jsut wondering why? =]

  • FYI, "This Machine Kills Fascists" is a reference to Woody Guthrie, the musician who wrote, among other things, "This Land Is Your Land." He wrote it on his guitar, and he's the guy in the black and white, often found on the wall behind John. He wrote the phrase on his guitar.

  • Wait.. Hanksock is just a sock on Hank's hand?!

  • @antis0cialist GASP

  • @antis0cialist I know, I was shocked too!  ;)

  • I LOVE YOUR GREAT GATSBY SHIRT.

  • DUDE... NO EDGE...

  • So precious. The brotherly love. I. LSFHF:DIAKJSFL.

  • It's allright John, it comes back around

  • make me cry every time! so proud.

  • Today, I learned that, on top of this, the anual Fireman Field Days has been canceled from a combination of flood damage and the ride providing company no longer working with us. So after a hellish year, there will be no end of year fun. I need a way to cheer up my friends and former classmates. I have no ideas, and few resources, but I'm hoping that the community renowned for spontaneous acts of awesome kindness can help me. PS My name is Tad Roosa and school is Owego Free Academy in New York.

  • I'm commenting here to recruit the awesome people of Nerdfighteria. My High School alma mater is in a bit of a crisis. This year (the 2011 to 2012 school year) has been horrible. They've had two students commit suicide and the flood of the century that left thousands out of homes (including my girlfriend, who still gets nervous when it rains). On top of that, many of the schools programs and sports teams are being cut and teachers laid off.

  • going to a stop on the tour was AMAZING

  • Why the hell did you need to sign more TFIOS books??? Shouldnt everyone going to the tour already own a preordered copy?

  • and then Hank wears a tutu?!?!

  • I wish mine had an angler fish so I'd have some have something from you both!! *sighs*

  • I'm going to watch this video over and over and pretend this video is about me XD #Dreaming

  • when i turn 18 im getting either "The town was paper, but the memories were not." or "we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth" tattooed the back of my sholder

  • you fellas are too cool

  • yay 500 miles!

  • You have a Gatsby t-shirt!! :D

  • Y I NO LIVE IN AMERICA?!

  • Hank got shocked like every time!! :(

    I was really hoping it would be John.

  • I was so upset that i missed u guys in both new york and boston! ahh

  • Oh my goodness. In twelve hours, I will be attending the Tour de Nerdfighting Seattle. I'm kind of losing my mind right now.

  • Sue from Catering likes this video.

  • How is it that this man has the innate ability to make a video like this, which might actually have little inspiration, but by adding the line/cadance "I wake up with 500 miles in my head, greatful and astonished to have the readers and the brother I've lucked into."? This man inspires me to continue writing.

  • I would drive 500 miles, and i would drive 500 more , just to see all of nerfightria. and talk about my book and sing songs and sign books. ^^ thank you for being awesome john and hank green!!

  • I am a new Nerdfighter from Britain trying to promote my comedy channel to the awesome nerdfighters out there. So if you got some free time for a laugh come on over and have a watch :) Please thumb this comment up if you are reading it too

    Thanks John and Hank! :) DFTBA

  • on friday, i went to see them. it was amazing, but one of the most amazing parts was when we got there (like 5 minutes late) the van was parked right outside of the theatre. we FREAKED out, took pictures with it, and yes, stroked it :)

  • I just watched the first B2.0 video, and this was a recommended video after it. Amazing how far John and Hank, and our community, have come in the past 5 years, seen through one simple click. DFTBA forever!

  • You can't sleep in the car, huh?

  • The Albuquerque show was awesome. After the show, Hank came out and exploded a confetti cannon, and then John comes out as says that we have to clean it up and that he told Hank not to do it and my sister (being my sister) gets up and asks him what the incentive is and he told her he would donate 50 bucks to TSWGO if we did (we did). Then he came back out and gave her the 50 bucks to put in the bucket.

    The best part? My sister is sort of a Nerdfighter by osmosis.

  • I would answer that, but I forget what a concussion is after excessively headdesking.

  • I just picked up my copy of TFiOS from my mom's house. Thanks for signing it!

  • *GASP* Charlie's shocker! Do you go extreme and have two in your mouth and one in each hand??? I internet-love you guys! DFTBA

  • John never brushed his teeth!

  • I hope I get to meet you some day! And I hope the tour is going swimmingly.

  • the peole love you john and hank and there is nothing wrong with that

  • Love how John's computer says: "This Machine Kills Fascists."

  • @SierraLorraineBowers If I'm not mistaken, it's a reference to Woodie Guthrie. Several people have probably already told you this, but no one on the first page of comments has, so I will.

  • @ZPM7 Actually, you're the first! Thanks a million. dftba! :D

  • @SierraLorraineBowers btdubs...that decal is available for sale at dftba.com :-)

  • Book cakes!

  • Standing in line isn't boring with nerdfighters! I was in that line at LA Time Festival of books years ago. I met a nerdfighter who made me promise to watch your videos (because she knew that I was a nerdfighter before I did) and to this day, I still wonder how she did on her AP History test!

  • 1:30 FEEL THE NERDFIGHTER LIKE!!! XD

  • They played 500 Miles in phoenix:)

  • 0:06 THE GREAT GATSBY SHIRT <3

  • Hank was wearing the Great Gatsby shirt today in Phoenix, and John wears it in this video. Gosh, I love them so much.

  • Hank has a nice butt. >.>

  • You know, the weird thing is, You technically live like 2 hours from me. But I wanted to go to a show and there weren't any shows in Indiana *sobs*

  • IS THERE A TOUR SCHEDULE?!?!?!

  • Oh, please, come to Germany. 

  • Jealousy never came to me in tears, until today.

  • I'm so sad I missed you here in seattle

  • I have that great gatsby shirt! It's mah favorite one!

  • I feel awesome that hank is wearing the nerd shirt that i just wore a few days ago <3

  • "have this freakin song in my head" better or worse than the elmo song?

  • *cough*.. Sooooooo..... when does the **World Tour** start? psssst... Start in New Zealand!! *HINT HINT* >.<

  • Question: can you be republican and still be a nerdfighter?

  • This makes me smile :)

    You are blessed. And it seems there are many others whose lives are blessed for knowing you.

  • came pretty close to singing near the beginning of the video there, john.

  • fucking proclaimers.

  • ITS SO FUN TO WATCH JOHN RUN AROUND IN A CIRCLE!!!

  • I hope you guys had a chance to go to Morton's Steakhouse when you were at the Hyatt in Bethesda because dayum. I took my date there afterwards and my mouth still waters for their Cajun rib eye.

  • OoOoOo I see the hotel I went to to see them. YEAH. Complete with Morton's Steakhouse in the corner. Delicious.

  • Make some shirts that say 'This is not a pipe' on it! I don't care if it's a reference to a non-existent book, I WOULD BUY IT!

  • @BigScreenOSTs That is an actual painting by a very real artist already so that can't happen, sorry!

  • @qwertyface72 Of course it could happen! If the artist agreed to it, it would be!

  • john i have had one hell of a time trying to get your book.

    i preordered it on november 2nd. amazon shipped it to the wrong person. that person gave it back to the post office. i called the post office to have them change the address to my address. they said only amazon could change the address. i called amazon, they said they would change the address.

    today i check the tracking details and it was returned to amazon.

    no signed copy for me now. gonna go buy a blank one at chapters.

    :(

  • John any plans to share another book like you did Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye? Have you read Russo's Risk Pool or have you read anything recent worth sharing? Also, The Fault in our Stars is pure genius...

  • I waited 4 hours to meet you guys in Atlanta, it was totally worth it! Balcony people FTW!

  • John, your book is on the front page of the Book Depository.

    Just thought you should know.

  • This machine kills fascists. Love it!

  • I just read TFiOS. It was my first of your books. I know you probably won't ever read this but it was one of the best books I have ever read. I laughed and cried (for literally two hours). It was really touching. Thank you

  • Hey random question: are you and your brother pro-life or pro-choice?

  • John! whats your favorite Mountain Goats song?! :D

    I recently listened to like 933516 of them, they are all so fantastic!

  • JOHN! THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS FOR YOU:

    Because your new novel The Fault in Our Stars is awesome (it is), you have a lot of adoring fans. If these adoring fans want to send fan mail, is there an e-mail that we can send that too? If not, the adoring fans (...I can't honestly be the only one) will be upset, but will not bother you further. Please read and respond. Sincerely yours,

    Book Lover that is a proud Nerdfighterian

  • Man, one of these days I'm going actually make it to one of these Nerdfighter conventions, and then proceed to enjoy the crap out of it. Er... Figuratively speaking.

  • Ooo, I was one of the people doing the Wave.

  • I watched this video and now I also have 500 Miles stuck in my head >.<

  • Hank-sock sounds a lot like Roz from Monsters Inc.

  • I have to wait another month for my copy of TFIOS even though I preordered D:

  • THE PROCLAIMERS WOOOO <3

  • Seeing Hank and John in Austin so much to me. What a great way to begin the year. Sadly, my dumb body wouldn't allow me to stand in line to tell them just that but that's okay, I was so happy to be there that I cried big fat happy tears. Hello to all of the wonderful nerdfighters I met in Austin!!!

  • OMG John, your signature just arrived in Croatia :P *proud*

  • So, if we show up to the tour in a Rubik's Cube costume, will we be prohibited from entering the facility?

  • I'm going to be in Santa Monica on Thursday. How early do people start showing up? I’m not sure how early I should be if I want a good seat.

  • Those clips were from Atlanta!! Well some of them. The dancing ones :D

  • I saw you in Dallas today John!!! Soo cool. You're awesome!

  • I wish my parents had drilled a passion for reading into me as a child...

    I wish I had time to read.

    I wish I made time to read.

    I wish I didn't waste enough of my time doing things other than reading to actually fuel a desire to make time for reading that I wish I had more of due to the value of which never grafting onto my character to define it as it is today...

  • I missed you guys in NYC by ONE DAY. I was so sad.

  • Still so angry at the tour... >:O I don't live in Vancouver but I do live nearby. But I can't skip school on a Tuesday to go. I CAN, however, spend the following Saturday in Van for my 16th birthday. WHY???? :( I'll miss you guys and your awesomeness by four days. 4. Life is cruel... maybe i can get a button tho...

  • I wanted to go so bad. :'( I thought I'd be super busy with college applications...but then I finished them all early, so I didn't go for no reason! D:

  • Okay, call me weird but this makes me really happy inside. I'm glad that your books are popular, John. You really deserve it! I'm just sad that I don't live in America and the chance of experiencing this is slim. :(

  • The Tour de Nerdfighting looks so freakin' awesome. It's times like this that I wish I lived in America, or that the Tour was a thing that was happening here in England. :(

  • @hisacredlava I agree D:

  • I found myself in the shake-a-booty clip! :D YAY!

  • Yo John what's with all the voice over lately

  • I can see myself dancing the shake-a-booty segment :)

  • 500 Miles / 500 Miles In My Head idk about you but i think these would be great book tittles maybe for your next book :)

  • The Great Gatsby shirt... go you.

  • hey john, when you were in the nerdfighter convention thing in Boston, do you remember when someone got so excited they threw up on someone's shoes? The person who got thrown up on was my sister. How cool is that?

  • @iamchargersfan Only in Boston! gahd I wish I was there.

  • And the horrible realization hits that I have forgotten Henry Green's birthday. *headdesk* Thanks to Nerdfighters who didn't forget that Friday was a good day to fight malaria.

  • @Otherwisedull Are you concussed?!

  • I went to Barnes and Noble and bought all your books today :) Guess, who's not sleeping for the next week? This guy.

  • THE WAVE in Raleigh, NC!!!!!!!

  • It truly was a pleasure reading The Fault In Our Stars. It was funny, emotional, beautiful, and a true testament to the saying "Life Isn't Fair". The world isn't a wish making factory and we have to cherish every single day because you can never get too complacent.

    .

    .

    Hazel (Not Hazel Grace!) and Augustus, thank you. John, thank you.

  • Just finished TFiOS. I've never cried more in a single setting in my life, except perhaps during infancy. It was breaking my heart more and more, but I couldn't stop reading. Amazing novel. Thank you for being awesome.

  • I would just like to say that your book is beautiful, and I feel truly blessed to have read it.

  • "The only thing more boring than standing in line is watching other people stand in line." <3

  • I want one of these shows in Ireland!

  • I was there! hehe yay.

  • John, I am so proud of you for facing up to your introvertic tendencies and going out to do this kind of crazy stage-touring stuff! I hope that despite the exhausting getting-to-bed-at-2-am routine, you and Hank are having a total blast. It sure looks like it. :)

  • ahhh I wish I could go to one of those events. Nothing cool ever happens anywhere close to me, or I can't afford to go if it is :(

  • I.just like to.say that I disliked by mistake. My screen feels funny

  • It seemed kind of wrong to have Hank Sock (who speaks in sort of a Jewish accent) speak at a Jewish Temple in New Orleans.

  • my pre-order wasn't signed :(

    is there anything i can do to get a signature?

    (are you planning a tour to europe?)

  • @FrolleinClara Look at his old tweets to find the address you need to email in order to sort that out. His twitter is @realjohngreen

  • Seeing all the happy nerdfighters makes me sad because I didn't get to see John and Hank in Boston.

  • I heard 500 miles and then ceased to listen to any more, envisioning only David Tennant with his lovely, nerdy grin and dancing to the Proclaimers.

  • The first printing is all sold out... They're like in their 5-7 printing

  • I can't believe that i'm going to be seeing you both today.

  • If all of the first print of The Fault in Our Stars are signed... Why are you re-signing them? o.O;

  • I am faced with one of the geekiest dilemmas I have ever faced. I accidentally pre-ordered a second copy of TFiOS- which came yesterday. While unopened, I can send it back and get a refund. But I will also never know if it has a Hanklerfish or a Yeti etc. inside, unless I open it. It is like Schrodinger's cat. What do I do?

  • @JennyTwoJackets Open it!!!!! It's worth a try.

  • @UnknownNewYorker I'm an art student on a tight budget, I can't be so frivolous... but I so want to be...

  • @JennyTwoJackets You can open it and if there isn't, you could sell it used on Amazon?

  • I found myself in the video. :D

  • How long will it take from the time we e-mail you until our bookplate comes in if our copy of TFIOS wasn't signed?

  • i cannot believe i actually met you not only did i meet you i high fived hank! you guys are so amazing

  • In the new journey to the center of the earth movie they have puppy-sized elephants!

  • I love the NerdFighter community so much :] Your all amazing

  • I saw you guys in Houston and oh em geeeee~<333 You guys are seriously amazingly genuinely awesome. I wanted to hug you both but I couldn't :(

  • John now wakes up to '500 miles'. Is that better or worse than waking up to 'Elmo has four ducks'?

  • @insaniac747 Much, MUCH better. John, don't be a baby. :P

  • John Green you have done it again a wonderful book. TFIOS is one of the best books I have read in a long time. My life seems so meaningful now like I have a purpose like I need to help fix this thing you and your brother call "World Suck". Thank you so much for sharing this book with us.

  • MY COPY OF TFIOS CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY

    I have been trekking to the mail box in sub-40 weather for week and a half for this moment.

    My mother was very confused when I came through the front door in a spastic happy dance.

    GREEN J-SQUIGGLE (long live puns!)

    Thank you, John, for every moment you put into this book and this community. It gives some of us something to live for.

    DFTBA!

  • ITS MY TATTOO AT 0:53 not gonna lie, but seeing a photo of my back on a vlogbrothers video has made my life complete. DFTBA

  • Can someone PLEASE make a gif of John running in an infinite circle around the puppet stage?

  • @TheCheeseIndeed because how would he use the van he can't believe exists to get there? Plus it's more than 500 miles away. ;)

  • Ahhhh, the clip with the timer and John running around is from the Atlanta show!! Now I feel special!

  • I'm supposed to be at the Houston book signing right now...but I got sick suddenly and now i can't go...this is the worst day ever.

  • 2:12 why would you put them through such a terrible form of oppression :P

  • So if the cake is a thing, it's socially acceptable to bring my TFioS costume, right?

  • @justJtotheK DO IT.

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY!!!

  • THE GREAT GATSBY SHIRT?! WAAAAAAAANT!

  • John, why can't you do Indiana just for a little bit? You live here! And I'm in love with Augustus Waters!

  • I'll see you in Texas! :D

  • @JoshSundquist You go Josh!!! I really want to meet you someday in the future. I was reading your book while in Park City (skiing :)) and finished it in school. Kids found out I had an obsession over you and well I would really want to meet you. Btw thanks for commenting or I would never subscribed to this channel

  • NOOOOOOO I HAVE NO SOUNNDDDD this is terrible.

  • We are starting to read the Great Gatsby in my English class. I'm so going to ace the test.

  • Comment removed

  • So I had TFioS in class, laying on my desk, and my language arts teacher looks at it, makes this puzzled face, and comes to examine. Then, she's like "Oh! I though that said 'The FART in our Stars' and I was like 'what are you reading?!'" Yeah...obviously not a nerdfighter.

  • John Green, Y U NO come to Australia?!?

  • ; ^; I wish I lived in the US just so that I could have gone to one of these.

  • Going to the one in Houston tonight! Eek, so excited! :D
