WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5

Congratulations. Glad the book is selling so well.

Congratulations, Herve!

If anyone deserves this success, it's you.

Holy crap. Top of the lit list. Congratulations.

yeees wil, you are very welcome :P, now just head on over to www.poserxxl.com and give me a hit so i can say i was hit by wil wheaton. only to have people say, who is wil wheaton?

YAY! Geeky love all around!

Congrats :)

Great job, Wil...and now you've got us all 'salivating' for J.A.G.....

LeeB

Congrats Wil! That's fabulous!

Just awesome!

Looks like I'm going to have to wait for the second printing, damn!

Very cool....checked out the list of independent bookstores in Madison, WI and a few of them have had signings by Michael Moore, Bruce Campbell, and some other cool people in the past. Hopefully you'll be added to the list because you really need to get to Madison!

Oh my, PLEEESE come to Madison, WI!!! It was the original home of the ONION, after all!! We would take very good care of you and your book! (and wouldn't even make you wear a cheese head hat...unless you wanted to, that is).

Yeah, can't say I'm surprised. Completely ecstatic, yes, but not a bit surprised. Congratulations, Wil, you've earned this. Just think what will happen when JAG is released.

Right on & congrats.

Always happy to help. You keep writing, we'll keep reading. Deal?

I strongly object to the word 'lame' when describing this site.

Way to go Will. I can't wait for the second printing so I can read the book which started this wonderful news.

Congrats man! I bet I got one of the last Powell's copies!

Oh, by the way, it looks like you forgot to close a Strike on the page, check towards the bottom, you done struck out the whole darn thing :)

Congrads Wil,
Maybe now it'll be easier to get in the UK, without borrowing someone elses credit card!

Are you ever thinking of coming over to the UK to say hi to us Brits. We don't bite (much!)

Any chance some of those booksellers are in Florida? :)

Great to hear the good news Will. Now my only hope at this point is for your book to hit big, because I can't find a copy of it anywhere!

Oh and I was the first one to bid on the second Autographed Ebay book and the first one to be outbid to. I never have luck with Ebay!

Continued success (sp?) and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Wil, if by "lame" you mean "interesting, touching, funny, enthralling, and has a nice color scheme" then Three Cheers for your lame website!!

Otherwise, I have no idea what you're talking about. :)

AWWW!!! Congratulations! I was really hoping to get a copy of your book for christmas too...I just hope someone bought it for me before it was too late! Good job though! I'm proud of you! :)

im always happy to be of assistance.
congrats wil.... you DO deserve this!

jeannette

Way to go Mr. Hamil.

May your X-Fighters never go without an R2 unit.

Why shouldn't it be at the top of the list - it's a good read!

Soon as I have some cash I will join everyone else in the reading of your *lame* books. I am guessing they are interesting and that is why they get sold out....:)

Beth

Woohoo! I purchased one of the last copies from Powell's!! I rawk!

"...other Booksense members...having me come to their store for signings"?

(Erbo begins chanting prayerfully)

Tattered Cover bookstore, Denver, Colorado...

(When the cops wanted to subpoena someone's book-purchasing records in a drug case, TC owner Joyce Meskis fought it all the way to the Colorado Supreme Court...and won. I can't imagine Borders, B&N, or Amazon.com having the balls to stand up to The Man like that, but TC has no qualms about standing up for its customers' First Amendment rights. That's a good reason for you to pick them, Wil, should your future book tour take you near to the Rocky Mountains...)

Anyway, should I quit chanting and organize a petition drive or something?

Congrats, Wil!!

I'm glad my copy has already shipped. I got my order in just in time!:)

Hey come out to colorado with your next book, please!

Congratulations, Wil! :^) ((group hug)) You deserve the great success of your book sales because you did not give up when the going got tough.

By the way, your website is not lame! (Banish that thought!)

Have a nice Thanksgiving, everyone!

P.S.
You're always welcomed back in Hawaii!

hey wil, great news about the book!! thats great news!! hope the nest issueing (is that actually a word? if not it should be!!!!) will be just as good, if not better!! YEY...well, done again, and can't wait for JAG either!!

That's great Wil! I would love to read it but I am still waiting for my autographed copy! :)

As a matter of fact, Megan, Nolan helped me pack up the remaining books tonight. I know yours was there because he liked your name. :)

It will hit the post office first thing in the morning!

That sounds great! Now, I'm just wondering if I can get ahold of said book all the way over in Australia.

Wow! I'm impressed!! You beat out "Life of Pi"!! Great job!

Congratulations!!! Come up to the Puget Sound area , sign some books up here, please
and this EPIC thing..... So are babies involved???

Well whatever it is good luck

Hey, look at all the fellow Coloradoans!!

*waves*

Gee, I've never been thanked by a celebrity.

*blush*

Congratulations, Wil! It's only a matter of time before you hit the New York Times' Best Sellers' List!!

Wil, congratulations. I'm very happy for you. Your book is awesome and I hope everything else you do in the future will be just as successful. You deserve it. We all support you and are all proud of you.

Thank Wil, and Nolan! I will look out for it in the mail!

"What are the good things in life Conan?"

"Crush your enemies (Rick Berman), see them scatter before you (Die Wesley Die pricks), and hear the lamentations of their women (their women)"

You rule Wheaton and are a continuing inspration to me as a writer. Way to go.

Sean

Wil,
Great job on that book. You seem to love creating a book. Keep it up.

FG

Fine! I WON'T drop in to Powells and pick it up, then! But congratulations anyhow, geeky.

Congrats Wil!!
I was one of those luck souls able to grab a copy from Powell's. Now, I just have to wait weeks before it gets here.

Chris

I'm in awe but not complete surprise.

You beat out not just ONE but TWO Neil Gaiman books and a King book on the Sci-fi list at Powells!!!

Have a great turkey day.. get stuff'd!

-MKF

That's hilarious. Two Chris B's buy Wil's book this weekend from Powell's.

I hadn't bought it yet, and put it on my Christmas list. But once Wil mentioned the Powell's link and the number of copies started to dwindle, I yanked it off my list and went ahead and bought it.

And, man, they were selling fast this weekend. I thought I might have missed my chance until I got the email shipping confirmation today.

Congrats Wil!

Drat! I was going to be at Powell's this weekend and was hoping to snag a copy! Curse this small printing! :-)

Congrats, Wil, and you'd better make sure that second printing is a big one!

hey, just joining the group hug.

I promise to drink (at least one) Guinness in celebration of DB selling out.

Congrats Wil, that's wonderful news indeed!

Wil, 3 words, "love ya Wil", - fantastic! You bring a light into my life every morning when I log on at work.

no more need be said!

Geoff oo (ie hugs)

No,no, Thank you Wil! If you hadn't returned my husbands email request of where to get a copy I would not be anxiously awaiting my own copy of DB, from said Powells. Woohoo! You are so cool! And congratulations! Can't wait until JAG hits #1!

i read your book and thought it was brilliant. as a fellow writer, this sort of material is missing from the mainstream publishing world. let's hope that some of the big houses smarten up and help promote it to a much larger audiences - and i dont mean trekkies (bleh). next to zenvirus.com this is my favourite site.

Congrats on setlling your book out. I'm looking forward to grabbing a copy of your book with the next printing... in the mean time... my favorite hockey team (NJ) kicked the bejeesus out of your fav hockey team last night 4-0. And we're STILL in second place in the Atlantic.

Have a happy turkey day.

I'm still waiting for a copy for myself. I have it on order from B Dalton. They said it will take a while but they could get it. I think I will be waiting for some time.

I am feeling pretty lucky then: I received my copy of Dancing Barefoot yesterday. I ordered it from Powell's.

Congratulations!!

Jessica

You have an awesome website and you're an awesome person. Congratulations!!!

WILL! SHAME ON YOU! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOUR WRITING COULDN'T STAND ON IT'S OWN?! YOU WRITE A GOOD BLOG AND YOUR PUBLICATION MUST OF COURSE FOLLOW SUIT.

QUIT KNOCKING YOUR WRITING ABILITIES!

Fantastic! And my order helped to sell out at Powells so that pretty darn cool!

Whohoooooooo!!!! youda'man!!!!! I told you!

You're welcome. It has been a pleasure to read the site and the book.

-- chad

I always knew you were a bundle of talent Wil, good luck and happy turkey day tomarrow!!

Hey that's great Wil! Congratulations!
I love the book (and the site of course) and the most shocking thing is, my husband loves the book! This man will NOT read a book that doesn't have computer languages all over it, but I told him he should read your book and he really enjoyed it!
So I should be thanking you :)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

I really loved your book! Too bad it was really short...I hope you'll be done with your new book soon.

I bought one of the last copies from Powell's... maybe even the last! According to Amazon, there was 1 new and 1 used available and I bought the new one (which Amazon sells directly from Powell's). This was at around 7PM EST yesterday. Weird.

Well, your lame book light not exist without your lame web site, but just as surely, your lame website would not exist without your lame self.

We love ya Wil. Keep up the good work. Oh, and STOP TEASING ME with the JAG excerpts. It's killing me! I want to read it NNOOOOOOWWW!

Good luck bud.

You deserve all the credit. Sorry to be so sentimental but you have occupied my mind with great thoughts of literature; you deserve the success!

YEAH, WIL! You rock!

Wil Wheaton........the next Stephen King or Michael Crichton!

I am so excited to hear this great news! Congratulations, Wil! There are three bookstores in town that are on the Booksense network!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Elizabeth

wow! i really really hope the second edition comes out soon- i REALLY REALLY REALLY want one, -due to being a poor student, ive been skint, and now i have some money- it sells out! typical, what ive seen so far tho' Wil- it looks fantasmagorical!

would have loved to have got a signed copy too....
maybe one day you'll come over to england or something so us english posse can say hi (& get some signatures from our favourite Wil!)

seriously though, you are a true inspiration!

keep going!

Here's hoping you have some spare copies at Penguicon in April. Introspective literature always piques my interest. I'll be sure to visit your booth when I can tear myself away from my own little corner of the con.

Wil,

Thank YOU for being a champion for all of us geeks everywhere.

Jessica (or anyone else who might know),

How long did it take for your book to arrive from Powell"s? My copy was shipped on Sunday, and I had it shipped standard USPS. I'm really hoping it will arrive by Friday so that I can take it up to LosCon and maybe get it signed, Wil willing. Do I have a snowball's chance?

Wil, you make people laugh and cry with you. I think those are qualities of a good writer, so it is no suprise that WWDN readers and the public at large have flocked to buy your book. You make the pages come to life in the readers mind, that Mr. Wil Wheaton is what I think is the greatest reward for a writer. I personally have been to one of your readings in Portland, OR and I was laughing so hard, it felt great! You wrote in my book, "Enjoy the Dance," and I assure you I did.

Woo! and I'm one of 'em!

got it yesterday, started it as bedtime reading, got through most of it during lunch, gonna finish it tonight. (Can't wait 'til JAG so I can actually read for LONGER THAN TWO DAYS!!!)

In any case, now I've got to somehow get a public Wil appearance nearby followed by a me getting there, all before march so I can get the frelling thing signed...

"To my best signed book owner since the last one - Wil Wheaton"

Yep, I snuck in under the wire with one of the last copies as well. Just got it yesterday... and was disappointed at how short it was in that I tore right through it and was left wanting more more more more more. Can't wait to see Just a Geek, and I will make it my personal mission as an employee of a large bookstore to ensure that we get some copies. (Maybe I'll make it a bigger mission and try to ensure that lots of stores get some copies. *g* To the mooooooon!)

Thanks for mentioning that Powells had copies still. It inspired me to buy several for Xmas presents. Hope my family appreciates it half as much as I do. Your writing is really special.

Aww, we love you and your geeky heart!

NEVER underestimate the power of geeks in great numbers ;)

And I STILL can't get it in New Zealand.

Help me. :)

Congrats, Wil!

I'm just sorry I didn't pick up a few extra copies before it sold out.

Here's to even bigger successes in the coming year!

Got my copy in the post today, and read it sneakily on the train. It's not really mine, see.. it's a christmas present...

But shhhhh.. secret..

It's good tho.. can't wait for just a geek

You ARE bringing copies to Penguicon, right? 'cause I have all I want from that Gaiman guy.

:)Francine

dammit, I'm all the way down here at 80 where I'll never get noticed.

And I'm a Powell's employee.
I work in used books sorting, and let me tell you Wil, your book has not yet appeared, which means people are holding onto them.
Bummer for me; I'm hoping a signed copy comes through so I can snag it!

hey, there's one o them booksense places just 5 blocks from my house. And I just blew $1.75 there for some Nag Champa.

Wil, you come to this town and I'll take the day off and camp there. And buy ya a Guinness. I'll drink something cold and Canadian.

-- Drake.

Hey, Wil!

I just double-checked my order from Powell's and they only sent me 1 of the 2 copies I ordered...

So, Nyeah Nyeah-nyeah Nyeah Nyeah! I got the last one!

Now I have to read it with my wife _before_ I give it to my father-in-law for Christmas!

Thanks again, Wil!
-J

Congratulations to you, but this is crappy news for me! Someone bought me Dancing Barefoot from Amazon for my birthday, but Amazon sold out before they could get mine out to me. Then I tried to buy from Powells. I'm not sure if I made it in time or not.
