I am too tired to brain today. Here; have an open thread. Ask anything, bring up anything, whatever makes you happy (although I ask that you avoid detailed book spoilers—I have forums for that).
I will brain later, but right now, I have the dumb.
I'm totally excited! Even if I'm going to miss the party ('cause I'm in Ohio that weekend). We have to have dinner while you're in town, and before I leave town.
A launch party is a public event to celebrate the release of a book. There are often snacks. People come to tell you how awesome you are. I sometimes have a raffle. Lots of books are sold. It's cool, and a lot of fun.
I'd love to do lunch someday if we can swing it. Are you in town for APE the weekend previous? I know the focus is not quite the same, since you are pretty firmly "traditional" rather than "alternative" press at this point...
I pretty much always do APE, but this year is somewhat dependent on my deadlines. That said, I will be in town, and would be totally happy to come and have a meal with you. Because we gotta meet!
Sounds like, if not a plan, then at least a Thing. I'll keep you posted when my schedule finally crystallizes, but unless something weird happens, I'll basically be in town for both those weekends and the week in between.

What's, um, a launch party?
