Always a pleasure catching up with the fabulous John Green. My favorite part: “Let’s Instagram!” “What does that mean?” “Just smile, I’ll take a picture.” “Wait, what? Right now?” These are the pictures that resulted from that conversation.
I had the honor of designing The Fault In Our Stars Audiobook Box Set that John Green is reading. It was exciting, and now it’s off to the printers so I can finally share the final design here with you guys.
Let me know what you think. I hope I did the book and the box set justice. I know mine’s going on the display shelf when it gets here! =)
Oh man this looks so good.
So this thing I had a small part in designing, and a BIG part in assembling and packing and assembling and packing, and assembl… IS BACK!
John’s publisher and audiobook publisher have both very graciously allowed us to print a new Second Edition. Everything about this second edition is the same as the first edition, except the color of the wristband is different. This way if you missed out on the first edition, you can now again have a chance to get all the great audio and video and postcards and other memorabilia, while those who bought the first edition will still have something exclusive to their box.
The second edition is again limited to 3,000 copies and will start shipping in about a month. Preorders are open now. Yay!

We haven’t left you with the easiest path, I know, but I have every confidence in you, and I wish you a very happy graduation, despite the circumstances.” [x]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/18c20d1923d1faa7e041c8e85301fedb/tumblr_mmtq5linf81qcrt6io1_500.jpg)

Puppies, Pegasi, and TFiOS Casting: It’s Question Tuesday
In which John answers real questions from real nerdfighters about puppies, ferrets, dancing, the casting of the movie adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars, the ducks in the pond, and many other things.
This is difficult to do—it is difficult to remember that people with lives different and distant from your own even celebrate birthdays, let alone with gifts of graffitied plywood. You will always be stuck inside of your body, with your consciousness, seeing through the world through your own eyes, but the gift and challenge of your education is to see others as they see themselves, to grapple with this mean and crazy and beautiful world in all its baffling complexity. We haven’t left you with the easiest path, I know, but I have every confidence in you, and I wish you a very happy graduation, despite the circumstances.
