The tour is not completely scheduled yet, but I know it includes Atlanta and Phoenix so far.

Don't know about Canada.<BR/><BR/>Luisa, be careful what you offer!

The ones I remember clearly? The ones that talked to us like we weren't idiots, who said or did funny things (physical comedy will get their attention every time), and who threw candy into the crowd. Not exactly helpful, I know, but that's all I've got.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Kimberly Vanderhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653757517652257445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-71113920436601687182007-12-03T09:24:00.000-07:002007-12-03T09:24:00.000-07:00I love this idea, James.

I'm sure you're planning on doing this but make sure that the kids have something tangible to take away from the presentation, a bookmark, sticker, pencil, something to remind them that they can change the world. I really love your riddle idea. It would be cool if you highlighted some of those success stories you were talking about in sports, music, books etc in a type of guessing game too. You could ask- how many times was so and so rejected? How long did it take Edison to invent the light bulb? Stuff that would all tie in to the possibilities of dreams come true. There's my 2 cents+ a little more :)Rachelle Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522589944408062365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-27686086031367544492007-11-30T18:20:00.000-07:002007-11-30T18:20:00.000-07:00Awesome..does this Change tour have you landing in...Awesome..does this Change tour have you landing in Atlanta????LaFemmeSimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915265771966130010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-86182809856227629632007-11-30T14:06:00.000-07:002007-11-30T14:06:00.000-07:00You go, James!You said be a strong reader.Do you h...You go, James!<BR/>You said be a strong reader.<BR/>Do you have any "must read" book seggestions for new writers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-75823877668235371432007-11-30T13:40:00.000-07:002007-11-30T13:40:00.000-07:00This sounds like a great presentation.
