Hi John.
It's us, the Brazilian nerdfighters.
If you're watching this video, it means you've received our secret project.
You probably don't know that, but the Brazilian nerdfighteria is closely knit.
We are a small group - about 200 members.
Almost 300!
Probably more than that, it depends of how many are watching this video.
But probably one of facebook's most active groups.
From books and scifi to academic discussions and relationship advice, we talk about everything.
And quite prolixly, by the way.
Everything started a year ago, when some of us learned
you didn't have a Brazilian copy of Alaska.
And they thought it would be nice to give one to you.
But why give you a translation of one of your books...
in a language you don't even understand?
Instead of only giving you a copy for you to enjoy the cover,
we thought it would be cooler to put a little bit
of the Brazilian nerdfighteria in it.
The funny thing is, at the time, we didn't have a defined identity.
Because of the book project and the facebook group that was created to organize it,
We took shape.
Nowadays, we have our own memes, more than 200 members, and kind-of-frequent gatherings.
We became more than we expected.
You were our confluence point.
Despite living away form each other
10 here, 5 there
One more over there.
Through your books, vlogs and projects, we came together and became close friends.
So, thanks for that.
I guess.
Yeah, well, what about the book…?
Our Alaska was bought and traveled about 10,000 km throughout Brazil.
É isso mesmo?
Actually, it traveled 16,947 km. Or 10,530 miles.
Being signed and loved by every nerdfighter that touched it.
Every hand put a little love in it.
In the form of drawings, jokes, observations, comments, letters…
You'll notice lots of different handwritings.
Each one equally awesome.
Everything we thought it was relevant (or not!) that you knew.
We hope you like the gift. And have fun with it.
Hopefully it will be, at least, an interesting read.
Maybe we can even get a few laughs out of you.
It's from the heart. From the bottom of lots of nerdfighter hearts.
Well, this is our gift!
Don't forget to be awesome!
It's just me that thinks this is weird in Portuguese?
