A handmade greeting card of thanks. Note that David Ellis Dickerson used to work for Hallmark, so the writing will be of professional quality.

Audio files of the story "How Xenia Stole Heaven," read mellifluously in David's mildly famous radio voice, and the brand-new story "How The Subway Got Its Roar." (Which is not a Xenia story, but if you like Xenia you'll like this one.) Plus the thank-you card once the tour's over.

During the tour, I'll be writing a book about the tour. At $35, you'll get chapters from the road as I write them. This means that you'll get the raw stories before I have to change people's names or other salient details for the print version. Saucy! Plus, of course, it's going to be a funny book. Estimated Delivery: May 2012

You get on the book-in-progress mailing list just mentioned, plus you get a complete audiobook of The Exy Book once the tour's over and the canon is more secure. May contain new stories!

All the aforementioned, plus a copy of my previous road-trip-across-America book, "Travels With Ritalin." It will probably never be published conventionally (I think I traded the rights to Florida State University in return for my degree), but it definitely impressed my dissertation committee. No, really.

All the aforementioned, plus you are mentioned by name in an opening hymn of gratitude in the next edition of The Exy Book, AND in the book ABOUT the tour that results from the trip.
