So you want to attend a release party.

First up, the bad news: due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, the release party at the Other Change of Hobbit (originally scheduled for this coming Sunday) has been postponed until sometime in October. There are a bunch of factors that went into this, but at the end of the day, it comes down to "no one will be there to run the store" (sort of an issue). I went by yesterday and signed stock, so if you really want a signed copy, but can't make any of the other events, you can get one there. I'll announce as soon as we reschedule.

Now, in somewhat happier news...

Friday night, I'll be at Illusive Comics in Santa Clara (see store website for address and directions). The party starts at seven, and will definitely feature live music and cake, in an awesome, family-friendly comic book store setting. Kitten Sundae will be there, as will Amy McNally, and Mia Nutick of Chimera Fancies (possibly with something AWESOME that you just have to see). There isn't a hard cut-off point, but I recommend coming early, before I've eaten my body-weight in frosting and started climbing the walls.

Saturday, we'll be at Borderlands Books in San Francisco, starting at five in the afternoon (again, check store website for address and directions). As an important note, the Bay Bridge will be CLOSED. If you're not starting in the City, you'll either need to plan to take BART, or find another means of getting there. The bookstore is right between two BART stations, and there's very limited parking anyway, so this actually isn't that big a deal.

Saturday is going to run from five to approximately nine, and will feature live music, readings, and AN AWESOME RAFFLE! Drawings will be held at six, seven-thirty, and nine, and you must be present (or have given your ticket to someone else when you left) to win. The prizes must be seen to be believed. You can get a ticket one of three ways:

1. Show up.
2. Buy something from the bookstore (anything).
3. Bring baked goods (or rum balls, if your name is Joey).

More information to come!

Daaaaamn, the Borderlands bash is more nuts than I was expecting. Will there be a clown and a rollercoaster? A clown ON a rollercoaster? With a goat?
It's going to be MAD FUN.

Mad. Fun.
And why is the thought of you having eaten too much frosting a downside, exactly..? *grin*

I shall have to see if I can make one or the other for they shall be awesome.
Because if I eat that much frosting, I can see through time.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. :( We're definitely rescheduling.
*promises vegan-friendly baked goods with a pumpkin theme*
HOORAY!
Oh man, I wish I could come.

OH WAIT I CAN! HAHAHAHA!
YAY! OMG THE ORANGE JOY.
I am sad I will not be there, but very pleased for you. I hope there are lots of pictures, lots of good music and no hand-cramps from signing.
We will have fun in your honor!

It's easily-walkable from the BART, if that helps at all, and we'll be traveling in a pack after the event, so you wouldn't be walking to the train alone.
Just FYI, Amazon just notified me my preordered copy of R&R shipped :)
YAY!
*bounces* Will be there! Yay!

Am looking forward to being away from all the smoke.
California: it's on fire again.
OK, strange question, but I've never been to a book signing at a comic store. Just want to confirm, will there be copies of your book available for purchase there on Friday night?
Yes! Anna has arranged for them, because Anna is awesome. :)

It's okay! Thank you so much!
I hope you are feeling better!
Better every day, and sooooooo tired of being sick.
Powells honored the street date, and their web site now shows copies in four of their stores, including the airport bookstore.

Happy book day!
OMG AIRPORT.

*flail*
Once again my theatre job interferes with all the fun, since I have shows all weekend long. I will perhaps make baked goods in your honor and feed the crazy show folk. I'm sorry your Sunday signing is requiring a reschedule, but am holding out selfish hope that it will land on a day I can make it.

Feel better.
Sadness! We will miss you. The new Other Change time will hopefully work out for you better, 'cause I'd love to see you.

Absolutely! All appearances get announced on my website, and I like it when we have an audience. :)
