www.petitiononline.com/484787/petition.htmlHelp us try to get the book Housemeeting republished. Only 1000 copies exist. That's not nearly enough considering how many people come to their shows. Housemeeting, if you were not aware, was a book that was written in mainly script format, by Lano and Woodley. It's utterly hilarious.

How about every time some one signs from this group, they get a karma point. As like a reward.

Hmm well i have a copy of the book (it really lifted my spirits that day) but I still am going to sign it. In fact if this is the same one as the yahoo group one, i think i have signed it before. Can we sign it again? i think the best way to get a chance of it being republished is to keep pestering lw themselves-they are the ones who have the control over it, not the publishers. Cause when i was in Sydney one guy asked Col and he was suprised that it was still out there lol. And col told the guy that theyd get it republished just for him lol

print out the petition and give it to them in July or something. I don't think we should sign it more than once, but I think we should try and get as many people to sign it as possible.

I dont know what is scarier the fact that Frank now has a Porno name, even if its now dubbed by charisma.
Or that Housemeeting has us nearly committing acts of violence and criminal offences...
-lol-
Yes I agree, lets get it printed and give it to em...
*glazy eyes * Need book Need book Need book

I like the karma point idea. But obviously one person will have to give the karma point, or we'll all be giving them!

Sorry guys, I have bad news about Housemeeting. It is never going to be re-published. The following is an email I received about 9 months ago from the head of Penguin publications : Thanks for contacting us about Housemeeting by Lano and Woodley. When we published this book in the 90s L+W's profile was already quite high, and over the next two years or so we sold around 5000 copies and the book then went out of print due to a marked slowing of sales. Our view, supported by booksellers we have spoken to, suggests that it would be hard to stimulate enough retailer interest to support a new edition or a new printing of a book that is now seen as being 'not new'. Thank you for interest in this Penguin publication. Sucks I know

well, i say that you can still generate enough pressure to get it done. They said that they wouldn't release Maid Marian on dvd. Now they are. Because of fan pressure. We just have to work harder than 100 or so signatures. And we have to get Lano and Woodley involved.

Agreed, and perhaps a hand one at their live events for people at the door or something might help to get more signatures.

They just gotta reprint it!!! I'd buy like a million copies and give em to friends and family for their birthdays and keep 10 spare copies for myself!!!!! 198 signatures so far... Hey maybe if we ALL write actual letters to penguin? (sorry if someone already came up with that suggestion already)
