Paper Towns, Agloe, and Touring: Thoughts from (Many) Places

[@maryhelen7588]

No Fault in These Stars IS a classic but I'm partial to The Abundance With Katherine.

[@MrDESENNE]

***** Not to speak of Searching Alaska, that is.

[@adg6352]

Do you mean looking for Alaska 😂 it's my favourite

[@zoed1019]

I much prefer two will graysons and the towns of paper to be perfectly honest. Let the snow come down is probably my least favourite as it is not just John green.

[@Alaurapeterson]

AD G *woosh*

[@norwasia3018]

your comments make me smile. ya'll keep it up

[@szeth14]

Just finished interviewing for a scary job. Now to de-stress with the soothing sound of John Green's voice.

[@N3rdfightermom]

Seth Gremmert here is wishing you luck! Fingers crossed.

[@caitlin_w]

Seth Gremmert Good luck! Hopefully it's a scary job as in "scary because I want it so bad" and not "there are scary people involved" :)

[@szeth14]

Caitlin W Definitely want it really bad! Alissa Frederick Thanks!

[@thruthe4thdimension]

Scary in a good way or bad way

[@kazfreedman9964]

Did you get it?

[@noimkat]

AT 2:37 THAT GIRL WITH THE PINK HAIR IS ME. I AM SHAKING THANK YOU FOR THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE ♡

[@ValDominator]

Kathryn Sutton pics or didn't happen

[@Doomsday-yo7lh]

Nice hair.

[@josephfrank3948]

I'm glad that you had an awesome day, even though I don't even know you! I want to give you a compliment to take with you, so I genuinely tell you that you are very pretty and seem like an awesome person and Nerdfighter. DFTBA!

[@aimeeaikins2990]

That means you work for The Young Turks. I watch them too. I can't find said interview on KZbin. Has it not been uploaded yet? Also, congrats!

[@kianayup9980]

Ahhhh Congrats!!!

[@GirlSocks]

It's been amazing watching you launch yourself into fame like this. I see people reading your books and loving the movie, and I'm like "I know that guy. That guy is my friend, whether he knows it or not." The past few years I've been watching vlogbrothers, and every day you guys make me smile in some way. I NEED TO MEET YOU.

[@Jakromha]

Degrees Kelvin? That heat really had a bad impact on you!

[@idnwiw]

Jakromha Nice way to put it - I was thinking "do I really want to be that gal that needs to point out...." but there you already had wraped it in a joke

[@justanotherkilljoy]

ananym it is degrees kelvin, just like we have degrees fahrenheit and degrees celsius :)

[@apolisElsurae]

***** Actually, the term degrees doesn't apply to Kelvin since Kelvin is an absolute scale, not a relative scale like Fahrenheit and Celsius. It is a very common misunderstanding.

[@idnwiw]

***** No it is not. Could give you a source but just any link when you google it will do

[@apolisElsurae]

[@stabosaurus]

I just can't wait until the Looking forward to Alaska movie comes out!

[@sterotypednerd]

Maya Shah i just cant wait till A Whole Lot of Katherines and Oh Look It's Snowing become movies. Those will def. be blockbusters

[@TheIronDrapery]

***** I can't wait for Bill Whiteson, Bill Blackson

[@CaptainPIanet]

***** I bet John can wait.

[@docnevyn5814]

The Iron Curtain Wil Wheaton, Wil Wheaton?

[@chanelnadiaaa]

***** i'm not even sure if I want to watch the movie.. because that book is literally my favorite one and I like the characters the way they are in my mind, if you get me :P

[@BamItsCameron]

Looks like you've been insanely busy but I hope you're enjoying every minute of it! It was cool meeting you at VidCon and I can't wait to see Paper Towns!

[@ReadHeadPat]

BamIt'sCam Hey it was awesome to run into you at VidCon by the way!

[@26Pixelschannel]

BamIt'sCam you met John ? thaats awesome

[@BamItsCameron]

ReadHeadPat It was great to finally meet you too! I hope you had a great time!

[@BamItsCameron]

26Pixels I got to talk more to Hank but John was really nice and it was great meeting them.

[@26Pixelschannel]

Thats so awesome what did you talk to hank about?

[@lovejoy26]

No matter how incredible your life is, you still remain astonishingly grounded which in my eyes makes you my favourite kind of celebrity! And because of the way your humble nature shines through, this surely has to be one of the greatest KZbin videos of all time!

[@tri-slosher]

...John has a day named after him. Do you know what this means?! *He has achieved immortality!*

[@kyleee.music__]

It's been 6 years since I last watched this movie. Paper Towns is literally my favorite movie ever, and I just rewatched it a few minutes ago, just had to purchase it on YT, it was really fun, memories from when I was 12 while watching this movie and reflecting so much on my life, damn, watching this movie is just so amazing, I really hope there would be part 2. Love you, John! Thank you for this!

[@LivingSoloful]

Why did this make me emotional??? It really did. I feel a weird combination of happy and proud right now.

[@annikaw1920]

Oh my god John, you sound exhausted...I hope you can rest a bit now :)

[@yammmit]

God does not exist.

[@samuelboucher1454]

Grammar Police Well, that escalated quickly.

[@eddiegruver946]

Megan G Shit is not holy, do not refer to it as such

[@annikaw1920]

Megan G thanks for trying to defend me :) Indeed I am not even religious, and I didn't actually want to talk to god

[@megang712]

Anni we I'm a pretty militant atheist, but I'm not a jackass. There's a time and a place, and this wasn't it... haha

[@rachelaleishoppe5928]

Yay! Paper Towns! I'm seeing it today and I'm SO FLIPPING EXCITED! Thank you John, for writing this wonderful books. It will forever be close to my heart :)

[@petrachase6638]

DemigodsCanFly look at my vids

[@TheVlog]

petra chase You should try the ning, or some nerdfighter facebook groups

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

Dear John (& Hank (& Everybody Else)), I can still remember the day that I heard about this popular author named John Green, & how he had written this great newish book called Paper Towns & how he had written this great newer book called The Fault In Our Stars, & how he also had a KZbin show with his brother. And how. Now, here I sit four years later, watching dreams & people & ideas & the universe collect into something I never quite understood could happen. This journey, from finding someone in a false place to finding yourself in a truer place, has gone beyond all expectations & all our wildest dreams. I've been to the paper towns. I'm still not sure that I want to leave. Thank you so much. So Long & Thanks For All the Fish, Lawrence Calablaster

[@PatrickSwayge]

It's absolutely crazy because I live near where "Agloe" actually is so every time John shows a map I either see the place I live or places i frequently drive by.

[@nazarenaguinazu6383]

John, you're like the only person who can make me smile for 3:57 minutes straight. I like your personality so much.

[@alifedirectedbytom]

5 years later and I find out my birthday is John green day

[@nicolestarke9403]

I saw this on Night on the Towns!

[@1charmanderlover]

Me too yay

[@thatemileedork8338]

Same!

[@RahannaAli]

I saw Paper Towns about a day ago (or aloe heh) and it's still running through my mind. It was a fantastic movie! Congrats on your success John

[@nataliedavila1040]

Hey I saw this already because of Night On The Towns (:

[@mustardsfire22]

natalie davila I was just about to comment that. :)

[@toourbanbenefits2493]

Same! :)

[@thefuckerwiththerecorder1534]

Same

[@FatmasterKY3]

natalie davila Haha yup

[@tanvishah2096]

It’s so amazing to see all these people together at a time where it’s so difficult to be together 💕

[@madeleinelemmey5159]

Loved how true the movie stayed to the book, and the line towards the end when Nat is on the bus really tied together the central idea of imagining others. Amazing job.

[@ThisIsReMarkable]

Glad you're home, John. That's a lot of stuff... Stuffs after stuffs. I have a lot of respect for both you and Hank for resisting the machine of comidfication (spell check tells me that's not a word) and where I can trust that Nerdfighteria is welcoming enough for me and for many many other people and that more or less, we still feel somewhat like a weird gigantic family-ish blob. Yay!

[@estherrawr]

Paper Towns comes out here in Germany on Thursday!! I'll go see it in English on Friday afternoon, thank god for living in a big city (Frankfurt, which is also plastered with posters.) because I can't deal with dubs. everything sounds more awkward in German. - It feels kind of weird, i became a nerdfighter soon after the book came out and that honestly seems like yesterday.

[@annikaw1920]

wow, another German! :D I prefer English too, but as I love in a really (really) small town I'll have to watch it in German Oo

[@estherrawr]

Anni we I'll probably go see it in German, too. I also come from a small town and none of my friends from there want to see it in the city so I'm going alone on Friday and then with my friends the second time! :)

[@JustAnne27]

estherrawr you going to the 16:45 showing, too? now i'm oddly excited to know at least one other nerdfighter will be there :D

[@estherrawr]

JustAnne27 yes indeed i am! :D yay, so happy to know i won't be the only one!

[@Inucat]

estherrawr I'll be going to frankfurt too. but I'll wait until next week. i don't have time before :(

[@kaitmalone]

As a fellow author, what I learned from this tour vlog is: 1: Beds are a cherished thing. And 2: You have to be sweaty to take pictures. Thanks, John! Also, congrats!

[@Inucat]

wow just watching that is exhausting! John I hope you finally get some well deserved rest and some quality time with your family! dftba!

[@oliviabrado6903]

I just saw Paper Towns today (like...a couple hours ago). The movie was absolutely amazing, but it wasn't really the movie that was the best part of my night. I saw it with a couple friends and after the movie ended we talked about what would happen after we graduated and what our lives might be like. And I think I realized today how amazing all my friends are and how lucky I am to have them. As for the movie compared to the book (which I usually do after seeing a movie based on a book), I don't really want to compare them. Usually after seeing a movie I decide which one I thought was better, movie or book. But with Paper Towns, the stories were both different (although still the same) and the experiences I had reading the book and seeing the movie were much different. I think both were amazing and thought provoking and neither one is better or worse than the other, only different.

[@tuneinwithtony]

The best adventures do bring us closer to people we love! What a beautiful sentence.

[@Mehr7396]

Saw Paper Towns and it was truly excellent. Kept the theme of the book throughout and that made me really happy. Thank you John and I hope you get your well deserved rest.

[@abhishekpriyadarshi6965]

Usually when I come across celebrity videos, I can't help but get a little jealous - travelling to amazing places, people asking for autographs, giving interviews and what not. But with John and Hank, things feel so strange - as if the girls in the crowd are not some chicks you want to have sex with, but rather just some awesome people of a huge, huge family who haven't gotten to meet each other yet. And I think this is because of the personal vlogs they put up - it just makes them more human - and an awesome one while at it - so you know that these guys truly are like all of us. This inspires me. I am not a social person. But #nerdfigheria is perhaps the one community I aspire to be a part of! :)

[@thewinterizzy]

I love all the Greens and would never want to separate John from Sarah, but I just have one question: so like when are John and Nat getting married? On second thought, perhaps adoption is the better route. Nat Green!

[@AlbertoRestifo]

Thanks John for finding time for making a great video for us, even during one of your busiest weeks ever.

[@maddywarner8448]

i just got back from vidcon and it was probably some of the best three days of my life so far, thanks so much for working so hard to make it so great!

[@journalsbysophie]

We're going to go to the Avant Premiere of Paper Towns today!!! some of the Nerdfighters from Uruguay! :D WE CAN'T WAIT!!

[@N3rdfightermom]

I hope Looking for Alaska doesn't come out until 2017 so that John can have a break from travel, promos, etc. BTW, really liked the movie. Literally squealed at the gas station cameo!!

[@lissy42nerdfighter]

Alissa Frederick Maybe not my favorite part but definitely one of the most memorable was "Do you like dragons?"

[@N3rdfightermom]

@freakazette I agree, but it did make me squeal.

[@lissy42nerdfighter]

***** Did you see TFIOS?

[@l.tc.5032]

I hope it doesn't come out at all paper towns sucked a lot most of the critics have it bad reviews and he'll even a large chunk of the fans were dissapointed I have no faith in this next one so I think it's better if they just don't make it.or maybe john can be less self centered and stay home since he had nothing g to do with making the movie. I mean did Suzanne Collins go around the world promoting the hunger games movie? To my knowage no. Ease correct me if I'm wrong but seriously john needs to stay home it's selfish and asshole looking for him to go.

[@madeleineluna2612]

L. T C. Considering the film is based on his intellectual content, it seems a little silly to deride him for supporting it. Also, John Green is a representative of more than just his books and his participation in the marketing does have a direct connection to revenue. Suzanne Collins may not have traveled to promote The Hunger Games, but consider how active Jo Rowling was in the promotion of the Harry Potter films. Every author has their own style and personality and way of reacting to the interpretation of their written work into cinematic enterprise. If we say authors have no place in the process or in the promotion of the material that comes from their creative endeavors, we are heading down a very slippery slope.

[@Curly_479]

Saw this at Night on the Towns, and we were at castleton amc, In Indiana and it was great. The theater had such a positive vibe in it, and we were screaming when ever Indiana was mentioned

[@rhianaeverest0808]

I haven't been able to see the movie yet but I want to so bad!!! It's /just a tad/ obvious how hard you've been working on things related to it these past couple months and you are very much appreciated by so many people in this community so thank you!

[@linneab7240]

Thoughts from places are my favorite. I got ridiculously happy when I saw the title

[@jess-qd2gx]

In my personal opinion the actors who played Radar and Ben should've done some interviews because they were AMAZING. Their chemistry with Nat was so natural, I loved it

[@warrengday]

SPECTACULAR Relentlessly fast-paced overview yet with all the key details of a hectic life on-the-road (except perhaps food, but as we are what we eat clearly John only eats awesome).

[@aidankeaveney2657]

John I would like to thank you. I saw Paper Towns in its first ever viewing shown in NC with my girlfriend during which, we had our first kiss. Because of this, Paper Towns will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you.

[@elizabethroy1347]

Just saw the movie! Loved every minute of it. I always feel extra happy when a movie can change things and still be true to the book and almost more importantly stay true to the message and feeling you get from the characters and events.

[@annam6608]

Paper Towns was so good and the actors really did a great job. THANK YOU John for the movie

[@xweirdsister1x]

watching this in a theater filled with Nerdfighters and others who care about John's books was something new. I thought about those early years of Vlogbrothers when I watched the videos alone and felt pretty isolated from the Nerdfighter community, and suddenly the Event of the Paper Towns movie seemed too big for me to grasp. But then I was mostly able to dissolve into the togetherness of the movie-watching and leave the thinking and nostalgia for later. Congrats on a great and hilarious movie, John! Loved Ben's "cousin's party" conversation and the gas station cameo :)

[@sophiejanssen6110]

I just came back from the pre screening of Paper Towns in The Netherlands. And the movie was SO GOOD. The whole cinema was laughing at the jokes and it was just great, I still can't process that one of my favorite books ever has been turned into a great movie with great actors. I will be watching the movie many more times...

[@bellasteiert]

I love thoughts from places! It was so cool to see Nat and Alex all grown up still singing together. I hope Paper Towns has great success like No Fault In These Stars.

[@mirnder]

Even though great things have been happening these last several weeks, I'm glad you get to be back with your family and (hopefully) have some time to recuperate.

[@EddieSell]

John Green, thank you for noticing the significant things and ideas that you have written/talked about, are writing(?)/talking about, and will write(?)/talk about!! I've started my own series of novels, a trilogy with a companion, and i want to make an super awesome vlog like you and Hank. I hope mine will, at least one day, pale in comparison to VlogBrothers! Stay AWESOME!!

[@ericferguson4751]

I love Thoughts From Places, and this video is no exception-even though I got tired just watching it. So much craziness going on. But seriously, John, thank you for having your head on straight in the face of all of that craziness. You deserve ALL the sleeps!

[@nerdfighteremma]

I already feel nostalgic for when I saw this video five days ago in a theatre. john, thank you for an incredible birthday present. I feel so lucky to have been a part of this.

[@TJAnderson]

So I've been binge watching the old videos via the playlist going backward year by year. I'm currently in 2011 and I'm able to have the videos on while working and it's not distracting, but this video is crazy busy. Crazy to see the contrast back to back.

[@dazzlesdoodles5241]

JOHN YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER COMPOSED AND PUBLISHED

[@petrachase6638]

dazzles doodles check out my channel

[@kteachone]

Dude, you're a superstar! I've been watching since 2008 and could never have imagined what you and your brother have brought to the world. You guys are amazing and so inspiring. Go get some sleep!

[@elena-xj4uk]

Paper Towns is one of my favorite books and i liked the movie! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, which is basically the number one way to judge a movie. It most definitely was not anywhere as deep as the book. I think i might have glimpsed John's cameo but i blinked and missed half of it. Cara and Nat are great actors. Part of the movie was shot in my friend's neighborhood and he didn't even know it until the movie started and he shouted "THAT'S MY NEIGHBORHOOD" in the middle of the theater. (when it got the the scene with the dead guy he again shouted "I GO FISHING THERE!!!") which made things quite entertaining

[@Jockles]

I'm so glad I have tickets for the advanced screening of Paper Towns in August 1st in the UK because I CANNOT WAIT MORE THAN 4 DAYS FOR THIS

[@danielduanetv]

Congrats on all of your success, John. You are an inspiration.

[@kayleeshook1593]

I'm so glad you (and Hank) finally get to relax cause I've been watching you guys be so stressed and exhausted lately. Paper Towns was amazing and I loved it so much!! I like how they captured the point of the book. #wallofcow

[@JenMatichuk]

You're the best, John!!!

[@vitamind7457]

I am just watching John's video, and I'm this intense ball of excited nerfightastic energy, and I'm so excited for John, which would be good except that its nearly 3:00 am and i need to be asleep. Anyway congrats John, this whole community is so very proud of you. :D

[@constancabraga9847]

This video was so sweet... It was one of those rare backstage videos where it is actually evident that the cast and crew really cared about each other and about the fans. I watched the movie the day it came out in my country and I LOVED IT! I thought it was even better than TFiOS, so funny yet thought-provoking, everyone in the movie theatre laughed at the funny parts and it was generally a very happy experience. Congratulations on scoring such a great movie adaptation John! DFTBA

[@ABigHatProduction]

Woah! This played at the Night on the Towns Livestream! Cool that we all got to see it early! I was in Dallas, and while I did not get to meet you or get anything signed by anyone and while it was definitely 15.7 million degrees Kelvin and even though I stood for exactly 6.5 hours straight...I had a so much fun! Paper Towns is my favorite book and the movie was absolutely fan-freaking-tastic! I had a great time at the two events I went to (though they would have been more fun if I had a friend to go with me). Thank you John, first for writing this book, and second for being willing to go to all of this press stuff and fan events even though you don't have to. DFTBA!

[@jokeborgers5785]

I saw Paper towns yesterday in Belgium and it was again such a good movie! I really liked that you say hi (on screen) before the movie started and i also really liked ansel elgort as seller 😉😊

[@kylacrystal1824]

I JUST WATCHED THE PAPER TOWMS MOVIE TODAY AND IT WAS SOOOOO AMAZINGGGGG!!!!!!

[@Cink524]

I've been conditioned to expect John to say "God, I love makeup" whenever he gets his makeup done and it surprised me when it didn't happen. Then I realized he used his "God, I love..." on his friends and I like that.

[@rubydunn2008]

I'm going to the pre-release in the UK this Saturday. Excited muchly.

[@adg6352]

Paper towns was actually amazing and you're amazing I want to be an amazing author like you, John!

[@ForgottenAria]

I saw target had in part of it circular, a sale on John Green. Not a sale on one of his movies or one of his books, but a sale on a collection of things centered around John Green. I must say it is awesome seeing someone so amazing become so successful, even though it looks exhausting.

[@effy5771]

SO EXCITED FOR JOHN GREEN DAY

[@savannahskinner8601]

I was at the Indianapolis tour! It was so good! Thank you John, for one of the best days of my life. Also, one time you, Cara, Natt, etc. answered my question from Twitter! I literally cried that day

[@Marie-ih3in]

Omg I soooooo want to meet him and Hank. John I love all of your movies and books!!!!; can't wait for LFA movie!!;

[@SunnyViolet96]

I just love how successful both Hank and John are, and yet they are still modest and kind and so sweet and I love it. Thank you guys for everything you do and congrats on all of your success, and I hope you and it will continue. DFTBA 💕 #wallofcow

[@anierrn6935]

This video (and honestly, all of John's videos about touring, the TFIOS and Paper Towns movies, being on TV etc) remindes me that no matter how weird and uncomfortable your life gets sometimes, you can always remain true to yourself. Well, at least John can, and that gives me hope that I can, too. :)

[@PurpleLover523]

I'm just very proud of you John. Sleep a lot, eat well, drink a lot of water, etc. ALSO WATCH STEVEN UNIVERSE WITH YOUR KIDS IT'S AWESOME.

[@wofflan888]

The movie was really, really amazing. I cried in the theater and because I had to go the second day and not the premier nobody understood why and everybody was staring

[@idylliqs]

the hug at the end with Cara and Nat... uwu

[@mariabelenturnes3276]

Uruguay had its pre-premiere yesterday and may I say it was DAMN AWESOME. Extremely funny and complelling and just true. Congratulations to everyone!

[@bubbly990]

So happy you're home and get a chance to relax and sleep, John! Can't wait to see the Paper Towns movie :-)

[@carpet427]

Thank you John Green for deciding to put Song of Myself in Paper Towns because I answered a question in an academic competition correctly solely based off knowledge from Paper Towns. I have never decided to read poetry outside of being forced to by school, so I am indeed grateful.

[@crcons]

I'm glad you finally got home to have your well deserved rest, John. Rest well, for there are more tours to come :)

[@madalenatorrinha5738]

The last clip melted my heart

[@ohboilien]

I loled at "no fault in these stars" Congrats for doing these weeks John, you're awesome!

[@tiberiuswolf8259]

I am going to wait until its on DVD so I can buy the movie version of all of your books and, when the other movies are bought, spend long days with John Green movie marathons. Still can't get over the epicness of the books, I bet the movies will break the law of movies and be just as good as the books.

[@KayleeMorgannn]

Am I the only one that gets super happy when he talks about your city?

[@1lilli1]

Had to pause at 2:02 because I started crying. I am so proud of you John!!! DFTBA

[@kat-rc5pu]

I just got back from watching Paper Towns with my nerdfighter friend! We both loved it so much! (And the surprise Ansel Elgort cameo)

[@millymcc5761]

I am in the middle of reading paper towns and john i have to say you are such a talented author, i was hooked from the start!!

[@envyquest60]

I saw this at night on the towns I feel so special

[@asabengtsson6764]

I saw the movie with my boyfriend a couple of days ago and it's so well made, i really really really loved the way it turned out!

[@abbys1445]

I watched Paper Towns a couple of days ago and iT WAS AMAZING I LOVED IT

[@scchicks1]

I saw paper towns last night and I was so proud of it. It was pretty on point with the book and just amazing overall.

[@masonbrown9155]

yo john. You need a vacation.

[@cmcd92]

Mason Brown word

[@101zippity]

He doesn't need a vacation, he needs a staycation, with his family.

[@TheYambo121]

I feel so cool for recognising that song that's playing in the car at 0:07 (Old College Try, a favourite of mine!)

[@hannaharvey]

I've been studying Papertowns in my English class so we get to go see it tomorrow! I'm so excited 😃

[@bookishbirthright7150]

When you take a moment after watching this to just take in how insanely busy John's been like JEEZ. Inspiring. Literally.

[@alexandramurray8018]

July 14th IS MY BIRTHDAY! And now I get to share it with JOHN GREEN DAY! Life is complete and I can die happy now!

[@Jindorek]

i still have to wait two more weeks before i can see it. this video was awesome. Thanks John.

[@rcoppy]

Get some rest, John. YOU ARE AMAZING!

[@Katnisslove21]

I just saw paper towns this morning and it was amazing!! I absolutely loved it and it made me feel all the feels

[@hayleya2216]

I'm here so early. To John, I'm happy that you finally have time to sleep and to spend time with your family.

[@Cracralaugh]

The fact that Gabby and Allison were pretty much randomly thrown in on the tour just makes it 10x greater
