Mad science party Saturday at Borderlands! With wine!

Saturday night is MAD SCIENCE LADIES NIGHT at Borderlands Books, where that lovely and talented lady of mad science and shadow government, Shaenon Garrity herself, will be hosting the launch party for her brand new Narbonic Perfect Collection.

For those of you unfamiliar with Narbonic, it's a mad science/romance/gonzo journalism/geek culture/time travel comic that ran for six years before coming to an earth-shattering conclusion. All six years are now collected in a single glorious locale, with two mind-blowing volumes available for your perusal. The books are $30 for the set of two, or $17 individually; they'll be available for sale on Saturday.

(And yes, as always, you can contact the store to order your very own signed and personalized volumes, if you can't be there yourself.)

Shaenon will also have volumes one and two of Skin Horse, one of my favorite currently ongoing webcomics; these are $14 each, and so worth it.

The party will be from five to seven PM on Saturday, November 19th. There will be cupcakes and wine (boxed and bottled), and original art available for purchase at the low, low price of $30 a strip. If you've been to my house, you've seen several of these strips framed and hanging in my front bathroom. Fine art for everyone!

We hope to see you there! It's going to be a real good time.

Does the store ship or would it just be better to order directly from Shaenon Garrity's site? I know my husband has previous books and I have to make sure he hasn't pre-ordered this for himself. I generally have to pick a date after which he is not permitted to buy anything else for himself for $winterholiday shopping. (And yes, he sometimes buys me stuff when he sees it's available and not for any special occasion which is nice.)

Now that I look at what this is, I think he has both books already.

The store ships, so if there's anything you were wanting from there (despite having the books), that's a good way to go. Also, unless he backed the Kickstarter, what he probably has are the original collections. These are shiny and new!
