Pam,
It was great to sit and chat with you at SxSW. Any chance you would consider coming to Columbus, OH as part of your tour? I wish you all the success!!!
Hi Pam! Are you planning on coming to Malaysia anytime by any chance?
–
Hi Dinesh!
Boy would I love to! It is not in the cards right now, but I will let you know if it is likely next year.
All the best,
-Pam
Hi Pam – Congratulations on the book! It’s fantastic!!! Would you consider coming to Louisville, KY or Cincinnati Ohio? Good luck and I hope you get close so I can come visit! Whitney
Pamela –
Nothing I enjoy as much as clicking “SUBMIT” under a picture of a strong, independent woman! Hoping I get a chance to see you in Charlotte…
Pam, you’re going to NYC and then DC…do you know that Philly is still between these two? At least to a whistle stop at 30th St station so I can say hi!
—
Philly is looking up as a contender! And my brother lives in Pittsburgh, so PA is always high on the list.
-Pam
How about beautiful Colorado Springs, CO??
Wishing you the very best!
Come to DC! We’ll show you a good time and get a good crowd together for you.
Look forward to seeing you in DC. Get a big space!
WhooHoo you’re coming to Portland! Hmmm…you do know that Cannon Beach is just a mere 75 miles away, yes? I’m thinking you might need a little beach r & r after your gig in the City of Roses. (:
Anything in the works for Los Angeles, CA?
–
LA sounds great and feasible Walter — just a short plane ride away!
I will work on it and let you know.
Thanks,
-Pam
How bout a stop in Atlanta? You’re neglecting your fans in the SouthEast (Charlotte doesn’t count
I’ll second the vote for “come to Philadelphia” between your stops in NYC and DC. Philly is a great people town with a wonderful food scene, amazing historical feel, and a thriving music, art, and theatre scene. People here would love you and your book!
Asheville, NC isn’t that far from Charlotte, and you’ll enjoy visiting. Gotta be self-employed here!
Third vote for Philadelphia!
While I can certainly echo Patti’s sentiments (living here at the base of Pikes Peak), I think Denver and it’s famed Tattered Cover (independent still thriving!) would be a fabulous pit stop for you! Let me know if you would like a chauffeur!
If you add Boston, I will surely see you there!

No Minneapolis on the schedule… we must not be big enough?
–
Minneapolis is awesome. I spent a semester there in college.
For me, the main variables are limiting trips so I am not gone every week, since I have little ones at home.
But my good buddy Owen Sartori, a MN musician who wrote “Beautiful Day in the Cube” lives there, so maybe we could do a joint thing.
-Pam
How about coming to Montreal, Quebec, Canada?
–
Montreal would be wonderful. I would even have to dust off my very rusty French.
I will let you know plans, although most likely it would be Spring 2010.
Thanks!!
-Pam
How bout a little SLC love . . .I think we would love to have you here in Beautiful Salt Lake City . . .
–
SLC would be great, and is really close to home! I will see what I can do!
-Pam
Are you by any chance coming to london?
–
I would love to come to London Vikram – putting it in the works for Spring of 2010. I will let you know!
-Pam
Pam, you can’t come to Charlotte and not take advantage of dropping down to Florida for a visit! Beautiful beaches, theme parks, wildlife…
Hope you can make it!
Ted
–
I love Florida, maybe I could do that in the fall!
-Pam
+1 for Atlanta!
Is Dallas possibly in the cards at some point? There are a lot of people here that are interested in escaping their cubicles – myself being one of them!
Atlanta, Ga. needs you. Might as well stop in before or after you go to N. Carolina
Here’s a second vote for Minneapolis – or somewhere in northern Iowa! I have just a bunch of friends who freelance – I myself have just gone solo, escaping the corporate ridiculousness and am now painting and writing as a full time thing. It’s wonderful, and with the support of my self motivated friends it is bound to drive our family much further than the position I held before.
So, if you want to do a “joint” thing with your musician friend, that would be something I know quite a few people would be interested in coming to hear!
I’m in Fort Collins and would love to see you in Ft Collins, Denver or Colorado Springs. Any chance?
Denver. Tattered Covered bookstore has 2 very large stores in Denver and Highlands Ranch and would probably welcome you and promote you. Good on you for what you are doing! Awesome!!!!
How about Dallas y’all! The south needs a little love and is missing from this list!
I agree with Jess, where’s the love for Dallas? D/FW NEEDS Pam Slim like a CEO to a golden parachute!
Also, Pam, we have a major airport that would be a great hub to heading out to all your tour cities! Come on down!
Can’t wait til Charlotte!
I’m voting for Los Angeles, too.
San Diego is a 2-3 hour drive, so I was hoping for something in my own neck of the woods.
Hi Pam,
I’m so EXCITED about your tour!! I have to add a vote for Atlanta. However if we don’t make the schedule I will gladly drive to Charlotte. The 3 1/2 hr. drive will be well worth it…
How about Houston Pam? We’d love to have you!
Another vote for the D/FW area… it could be a great stop on the way to Atlanta and your BFF!
P.S. Am reading your book now and enjoying it. Just made an (in)voluntary escape from Cubicle Nation on Wednesday morning, ushered out the door w/ 4 weeks severance and a week of vacation.
—
Ouch Cathy, I am so sorry to hear that! The best of luck to you, that must have been a shock. I hope the book helps!
-Pam
Hello Pam,
Yes Philadelphia is right between New York and Washington D.C. aprox 2hr drive between both cities. We would love to see you there.
Rmarie
Another vote for Asheville, NC, or Atlanta, GA (I could drive to either one). You would really enjoy Asheville, but it’s small.
Consider Asheville, NC, a 20-minute airplane ride or 2 1/2 hour drive from Charlotte. A very entrepreneurial town with a great independent bookstore (Malaprop’s) downtown.
Clara
Another vote for Florida (pref. South Florida)
Would love to see you in Philly – K of P area. Best of luck with the new book!
Vince
love your book & look forward to your visit to DC area
Pam — many, many, many of us in Detroit would really benefit from a visit from you. Please consider stopping by after Chicago?
thanks
tom
–
I will see what I can do Tom, I totally feel for Detroit right now!
-Pam
What does a BFF have to do to get some love?
You have 3 options or I will begin to show pictures of you in college to all of your bloggers.
1. Atlanta
2. Asheville, NC– where Ihope to move AFTER I leave GA
3. Charlotte
Your book is fabulous and I am not just saying that because I love you.
sign,
BFF Desiree
Hmm, no one’s mentioned Boston? I would love a chance to hear you in person. Your book is changing my life; thank you so much for it!
I’m tossing in the third vote for Boston.
We have Harvard and MIT amid tons of amazing colleges, tons of entrepreneurial ventures, and so many avid book readers. You must come, we will show you so much love!
Please visit Dallas in August. I will invite others too.
—
Chris, I have some great friends in Dallas, so it is looking good! I will work on details, and let you know.
All the best,
-Pam
Pam, I reiterate Chris’s invitation to visit Dallas. It’ll be hot, but your talk will be very cool! Please come see us. Thanks,
Michael
Atlanta would love to have you, I think we would be a great market for your message. I just started a Virtual Assistant/Online Business Manager after being a part of The Cubicle Nation for 8 years. It feels great.
–
I am going to move forward with Atlanta right away – I will keep you updated!
-Pam
I see your coming to Chicago but it does not say where the book signing. Can you post the location and the time. Thanks for coming to Chicago
Hi Pam, if you cannot make it to the geographical centre of Canada (East of Winnipeg, North of North Dakota) I will happily visit Minneapolis or a Canadian city instead. However if you come to Winnipeg I will promise to feed you well. We have GREAT FOOD. Do you like perogies? My mom, and my mother-in-law will cook for you. I’m too busy escaping cubicle and culinary nation.
How about Boulder Colorado; the vortex of start-ups, entrepreneurs and visionaries! (also a damn beautiful place and fun too!!)
