Hanging out with Jeff Kinney at his new bookstore!

Hey everyone! This week the Neon Wiener made its way back to Earth for a little pit stop. We needed to stock up on supplies, but the mega-cool reason we really came back was to visit a friend of mine at his new bookstore. Maybe you've heard of him -- Jeff Kinney?

Jeff Kinney and Cosmoe from Galactic Hot Dogs hang out at Jeff's new store, An Unlikely Story!
Helloooooo from Plainville, Massachusetts!
You probably know that Jeff is the author of the super-mega popular series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Plus he's the creator of Poptropica. And now he's a independent book seller, too! His new store is called An Unlikely Story and it's in Plainville, Massachusetts.

The place opens really soon, so Jeff asked me if I wanted to take a tour of it when I could make it back to Earth. And I was like, "Do hogtarians fly?!" And Jeff was like "Huh?" because of course he's never seen a hogtarian, which my tiny little Cosmoe brain forgot. So I said, "Um, YEAH I do!!!" And then a couple days later, me and Jeff were hanging out in his new store!

Chillin' like ice cream fillin' at An Unlikely Story with Jeff!
And of course, An Unlikely Story has my new book, Galactic Hot Dogs: Cosmoe's Wiener Getaway!

Check out this wicked cool letterpress table.
(Does "letterpress" mean "way original and awesome"?)
If you live anywhere near An Unlikely Story, you need to get your butt over there when it opens. You know, even if you don't live nearby, you should make a trip out there. I did, and it sure was worth it!

Okay, now for our next chapter in Galactic Hot Dogs: Book Two!

Galactic Hot Dogs: Book Two - Chapter 12 - An Army?

When we last left off, Princess Dagger was NOT happy about her fat space suit! I totally won that little argument. But things go from funny to super serious, super fast. We make a discovery that is completely, totally WAY bad news. And then another one. And another one! Read Chapter 12: An Army? to find out what's going on!

Time for me, Princess Dagger, and Humphree to decide where we're going to go next. We're all stocked up with hot dogs, so we have to get selling!

Have a rockin' weekend,
Cosmoe

Jeff Kinney gets psyched about Galactic Hot Dogs!

Hey you guys! Do you know who Jeff Kinney is? You probably do. He’s the author of the best-selling Wimpy Kid books and the creator of Poptropica. Did you know that the original Wimpy Kid book was actually first published on Funbrain.com, the online home of Galactic Hot Dogs Book One (and on 4/6, Book Two)? If you go to the Funbrain homepage, you’ll see both books there under “Books and Comics!”

Jeff is also about to be a bookseller, too — he’s opening a way-cool bookstore in May called An Unlikely Story. It’ll be in Plainville, Massachusetts. If you live anywhere near there, you should go check it out!

Anyway, the Galactic Hot Dogs book crew are obviously big fans of Jeff, so they made sure to send him a special GHD care package. He sent us a fun picture when he got it. I think he’s kinda psyched about the book!

Jeff Kinney and Galactic Hot Dogs

I hope you like my book as much as I like Galactic Hot Dogs Island on Poptropica, Jeff! Oh, and those Wimpy Kid books aren’t so bad, either. ;-)

And you guys, if you haven’t yet, definitely check out Jeff’s Wimpy Kid website for lots of cool stuff. It’s awesomesauce!

Have a great weekend,
Cosmoe
