Congrats - I just got my confirmation email from BAM...I can't wait to read Cringe!
Fucking awesome. I cannot wait to have this book in my hands. Seriously, I'm sending ridiculous amounts of congratulations your way.
Congratulations, Sarah.
You is a for real writer.
I noticed that the Cringe book site doesn't mention the release.
Yeah, pay no attention to the Cringe book site until it gets updated later today.
But thank you!
I am kind of bummed that I pre-ordered mine online because now I have to wait for it to come. Maybe I will just have to buy two.
Happy Book Day, Sarah! I am so happy and proud for you.
From Amazon:
#80 in Self-Help & Psychology
That's beautiful.
Hooray!!! "Buy my book" is a pretty terrific thing to be able to say, especially when it turns into "buy my FIRST, or SECOND, book" and so on—!
That link for Millie is so good.
Congratulations Sarah! I can't wait until my copy falls out of its shipping box and into my hot little hands!
I just bought it. WOOHOOO!
wooooooooohoooooooo. aaron and i will do some pimpin.
Stopping by to pick it up before lunch today.
Cringe + Chipotle = Crazy Delicious.
For New Yorkers, it's currently shelved upstairs in the Union Square Barnes & Noble. While I took a couple of copies, there were still a few left as of 10:00am this morning.
Congratulations!!!
What are the odds of having four Erins in the book?
Almost as good as having a Joshua Neuman and a Joshua Newman.
Hooray!
Also, Tracy Carr! Woo Hoo!
Can't WAIT to get mine in the mail! Yay for pre-orders!
HAPPY BOOK RELEASE DAY! I'm so excited for you that I could cry. Eh, maybe I will. And then I'll write some really bad poetry about it while listening to Soul Asylum and wearing my flannel shirt.
Congratulations Sarah. I rushed over to Borders across the street from my work after verifying it was "likely in store" on the web site. It was not out on the shelves yet, but you can be assured I'll be going back until they're available.
Big day - yay for you!! I just ordered my copy from Amazon...
You guys are making me tear up. Thanks for being excited with me!
This book has tits in it, right?
I can't stop telling you how proud I am to know you, or how proud I am of this book. I'm, like, stalking you with praise. So why stop now! Congratulations, sweet.
Yeah, I feel like I should add: this book is definitely PG-13, possibly rated R, depending on where you stand in regards to BJs.
Up to # 20 in humor => self help on amazon. Awesome. I am definatly pro BJ. ordered mine this morning. congratulations.
I usually don't "stand" for BJs. Better technique not to.
Fucking congratulations!
Three (muffled) cheers for BJs and also Bears!
And three congratulatory hugs in honor of Official Publication Day, you are an Olympic Champion of Awesometoberfest!
Big hairy congratulations to you, Sarah Brown!
Hooray! Can't wait to see my embarrassing journal page in real life book form. Why did I think this was a good idea, again?
Wow, didn't even know that you "knew" Kristine. She is hilarious and it's great that she's in the book.
Congrats, nice blog lady. Much deserved.
Congratulations!
Are there any 'send it to you for signature' opportunities available? 'Twas the only thing keeping me from pre-ordering it.
@evany: I'm still laughing at "muffled" - you a funny lady
Hey Sarah, I'm delurking after spending a few months reading through your archives. I don't want that to sound crazy, I swear!! I just dig the way you write. SWF I am not! I think I stumbled upon you via Mighty Girl or Dooce. Anyways, I just had emerge and send a big congratulations to you on the book release! I'm getting it tomorrow at Powell's here in Portland, and I can't wait to read it.
Again, not to sound creepy, but I feel a crazy kismet connection to you. The random similarities we have are uncanny; from the ability to identify celeb voiceovers within seconds, to our freakishly similar hands - I've found my hand twin!! We also look alike and I've had far too many "holy shit someone else feels/does/thinks that exact same thing too!?!" moments while reading. In short, you rock and I really enjoy your blog, and I can't wait to dive into Cringe. Keep it up, I'll be reading!!
P.S. You also broke me of a ridiculous hang up I'd been dealing with for years: the annoying gifted child syndrome. I have seen the light. It's ridiculous, moot, and downright tacky. I shall never mention it again. I mean, I'm a genius now, that's all that matters. Obvs.
Hi Sarah,
As a new reader of your blog, I was reading through some of your archives, and saw how much you like baby elephants. I thought I'd let you know that the Oregon Zoo has a new baby elephant (only a few days old), and the zoo website has lots of pictures. Also, the local paper's website (www.oregonlive.com) has some video footage. Just thought you might want to check it out to get your baby elephant fix.
Got mine at the Borders in Columbus Circle!
Congrats, Sarah. Very, very cool. I'm buying a copy.
I can't wait to read this -- I'm heading on a trip tomorrow so I will look for it on my lunch hour, perfect plane reading! Congrats again, SB!!!
Oh man, so happy and giggling and happy-dayed for you. BJ's (& HJ's) all around!
I bought my copy this morning before work and I have to admit I kept making excuses to go to my car today and read it! I'm the boss at a pretty big company and I totally spent at least 45 minutes in my car reading your book. I should be fired and you should be given another book deal. Seriously, my laugh out loud count had to be around 23.
P.S.I so would have dated teenage Jay Carlson for his funny post it notes alone.
I pre-ordered the book, and it came today. Tonight has been filled with southern comfort, and reading aloud to my friends in my building. I AM IN LOVE. Thank you for bringing Cringe to the world.....
DC totally needs a Cringe. Can you imagine the crap that would come out of this city?
Hurray, thank you! And Cringe is coming to DC in September, on the book tour!
OH my goodness! I bought the book today, where it was nicely displayed at the Barnes and Noble on Warren St in Tribeca. I read it while at work a little, and then almost finished it on the train back to Brooklyn. So, so funny. Excellent job, Ms. Brown. Thanks for the laughs.
You have to tell us what day you are coming to DC! All my dreams are coming true, etc.
My oldest friend and I found your book in the Tulsa B&N last night and loved loved it. Also, we discovered that her sister was also on Pep Squad at Byrd/Memorial. And still has that creepy penguin you're posing with.
Kinda cool that someone from home did this...inspiring and wonderful. Congrats, congrats.
Congratulations! This must be very exciting!
I am so excited to be part of this book. Thanks for putting this together!
this is so awesome!! i just picked up my copy at the local indie bookstore in sf. posted a pic on my flickr too. :) am excited to read!
Congratulations, Sarah! This is so exciting!
