Borderlands Books tonight! Be there!

Hey, folks! Just a friendly reminder that tonight is the Rosemary and Rue event at San Francisco's very own Borderlands Books! Featuring live music by Kitten Sundae, Brooke Lunderville, and Amy McNally, an awesome raffle of awesomeness, Pollidori Chocolates original truffles, naked cats, and so much more, we're planning to blow the doors off the place.

Tonight's schedule:

5:00 PM: Welcome to our party.
5:40 PM: Perhaps you would like some music.
6:00 PM: Perhaps you would like to win things.
7:00 PM: More music?
7:30 PM: More prizes?
7:45 PM: Assuming people are not too busy eating cookies, Seanan will read something.
8:30 PM: Last music of the night.
8:50 PM: Last chance to give the bookstore money before we say goodnight.
9:00 PM: Last raffle drawing of the night and we close the evening.

You do not have to be present to win, but you do need to have someone holding your ticket and ready to claim a prize for you. Prizes will be on the table, and can be claimed as winners are called.

I hope you can come!

We had a TRUFFLE TASTING PARTY last night at my house while you were at the hotel. We all ate Tybalt. And he was gooooooooooood.

Sadly, having not yet figured out teleportation, I will not be able to attend. But I hope your party is EVEN BETTER.

It was a pretty awesome party!

(If the guy I chatted with briefly back in the back of the store where it was coolest is reading this, the one who did the "Shall we dance?" maneuver with me twice, um, hi. I thought you were cute.)

If you wind up hooking up in my LJ, I will laugh until I die.

Is any of the video up online? I got two bits, but I really wish I'd had the camera out in time to catch the editing song.

You're so welcome, and should thank your husband for making sure I knew you weren't able to make it! All four of the truffle types were incredible, and they'll be available for purchase through her Etsy shop way soon.

Can't wait to meet you at the next one!

Does this mean you'd like us to schedule something at Mysterious Galaxies?

Hello! azurelunatic said I should link you to my account of How I Acquired Your Awesome Book Which I Am In The Middle of Reading. It is related to, but did not take place at, the Borderlands party. :)

P.S. Rosemary and Rue is awesome. Did I mention that?

September 8 2009, 21:30:54 UTC 7 years ago

...you have no idea how happy this makes me. And also, YAY.

Squee!

The party was awesome, and I can't wait to devour my copy of the book.

In the meantime, the version of The Ballad of Tam Lin done at the party has made camp in my brain and will not leave. Is it recorded anywhere, so I can purchase/download/love-and-hug-and-call-it-George?
