From Times Square, Hank invites New York-area Nerdfighters to an unsanctioned gathering with Maureen Johnson at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square at 6 p.m. on August 6, to show Barnes & Noble that John Green can draw a crowd.

What is said

00:00:00 — In Times Square: it is a triangle; advertising and Coca-Cola; a plan for New York Nerdfighters

  • ★★ Hank reports he is in New York, in Times Square. — 00:00:00 · New York City
  • ★ Hank says he had assumed Times Square was a square, but it is in fact a triangle. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★ Hank says he is being advertised to like never before and jokes he will leave and buy so much stuff, mostly a Coca-Cola. (playful) — 00:00:00

00:00:46 — The plan: Barnes & Noble Union Square, 6 p.m. tomorrow with Maureen Johnson; guest/guessed; passer-by; why: Barnes & Noble doubts John can draw a crowd

  • ★★★ Hank announces he will be at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square at 6 o'clock the next day with special guest Maureen Johnson, who will sign her books bought there. — 00:00:46 · Maureen Johnson
  • ★★ Hank tells Nerdfighters anywhere on the East Coast they have to come, excusing only those as far away as Florida, then softens it to 'if you can, do it'. (playful) — 00:00:46 · Florida
  • ★★ Hank says they will hopefully be in the upstairs conference room; he won't have his guitar or sing, but will sign John's books for anyone who buys them. (hedged) — 00:01:15 · John Green
  • ★ After a passer-by asks to be in his video, Hank says New York is the place to talk to a camera like a stupid person, since its job is to attract weird people. (playful) — 00:01:15 · New York City
  • ★★★ Hank says they are holding the event because the Barnes & Noble in Manhattan apparently doesn't think John Green can draw a crowd, so this unsanctioned gathering will show that Nerdfighters can. (hedged) — 00:01:45 · John Green, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ Hank asks viewers who want to help to come to the Barnes & Noble in Union Square at 6 o'clock the next day, which he confirms is August 6. — 00:01:45

00:02:14 — Date confirmed (August 6); the only New York video; going to Chicago; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank says this is the only New York video, since they are going to Chicago next, and he will see John in about three days. — 00:02:14 · Chicago
