Number of miles driven:  Many. 

People who made fun of my sweater from passing cars:  4 

People who complimented my sweater on the street:  1

Number of polka dots on my sweater:  Somewhere around 10

Books signed:  20ish.

Number of embarrassing phone calls to book stores to ask if they were carrying my book with a disguised voice so they wouldn't recognize me when I came in later to sign books:  More than I'd like to remember.

Feet of turkey sandwich eaten:  1. 

Amount of dollars spent on sandwich:  5

My appreciation for Subway:  limitless. 

Number of celebrities seen at breakfast:  2 (author's note:  Flea and Natalie Portman...I'm pretty sure they didn't come together). 

Number of people who recognized me on the street as "YA sensation Ben Esch": 1

Number of above people who weren't related to me:  0. 

Number of times my brother referred to me as "YA sensation Ben Esch": 1 (Author's note:  my brother is awesome.)

Amount of bookstores that sold out of Sophomore Undercover: 1 (Author's note: my relatives were repping me pretty hard in the greater Madison area). 

Thanks again for all your support, guys.  More book release news to come tomorrow.  Also, I promise I'll show you a picture of my "lucky book signing sweater" but just don't make fun of me about it.  I'm kind of in a delicate place right now.

good for you, wheeler. I dont think i'm a deadbeat, either. Thing is, the bookstore near me only has one copy, and if i bought that one, someone else would be denied the opportunity. And i have a TOTALLY FREE (not so) ADVANCE COPY coming, any day now.

just joshin, Ben. oh..and i should clarify, when i say "search your book", i mean on the computer thingy in the bookstore.

In August 2006 a sixty year old died of diabetes. He was living on his own in his home-town, the city of Cambridge, England. His name was Syd Barret.
