Donald Miller, Author of "Blue Like Jazz" has a new book coming out this fall. This book has yet been published and he is going to be having a book tour this September. Before he publishes the book, Don thought it would be fun to have a book hunt for some of the manuscripts.
Don has printed 60 individual copies of his new book and has placed them in 60 different locations all around the sates. As I fallow him on Twitter I have found out that he is giving two locations a day with a small hint to find the manuscript. Today is the story of one of the California locations:
It started as I woke up at 7:40AM to check the @donmilleris twitter account to see where today's location was. As I noticed it was in California and near my city (it was in Azuza) I decided to go on the hunt.
I left the house around 8:00 and traveled in an Hour worth of traffic until I arrived at APU. After getting to the University I was looking for the book. As Don sent more hints through twitter I noticed they were picture hints. I was unable to look at them on my phone since I do not have Internet, so I decided to go find Internet to see the picture. I asked APU to help me out and they did. I was able to see the picture from one of their computers. I noticed that the picture most likely lead me to the bookstore so that is where I went to go look.
When I got to the bookstore I noticed there were like 25 other people in there looking for it too. Well, with major luck I was able to spot the book before they did and I got it! Yeah that is right, I found one of the 60 manuscripts that Don Miller wrote for his new book, to be clear it was number 24.
This was the journey that I had this morning as I started my day. What a story for my kids! Peace, all
-Peace, Pat
