Mood: geeky
Music: Nightmare Before Christmas, "This Is Halloween."

Why does Halloween have to end? Read like the world is ending instead!

So Friday night, I will be appearing at The Booksmith in damp, drizzly San Francisco, California, as part of their Read Until the World Ends Halloween Bookswap. I've never done one of these before, so I turn to their website for details:

"$25 gets you dinner and an open bar, a bookstore all to yourself and forty of your new best friends, discounts and swag, a chance to rub elbows with amazing authors, and tons of surprises. Amy Stephenson hosts."

$25 to share a room with me and an open bar. Oh, the drinks that we'll drink! Oh, the thinks that we'll think! Oh, the giggling as I slowly list gently onto my side and go to sleep! I...okay, that last part wouldn't be very professional of me. So I won't do that. But if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area and looking for a fun way to spend a Friday night, come and spend it it with me in my guise as Mira Grant, and with all the boozimohol the bookstore can provide.

Whee!

Have fun! Getting to SF on a weeknight is logistically difficult, and the event doesn't sound Josh-friendly, so we probably won't be there, but I hope you have fun, it sounds like a good event.

There are days when I deeply wish I still lived in CA. :)

Why am I *still not* capable of being in two places at once? Instead I will be at Convolution. Which will hopefully be awesome, but this also sounds great.

Too bad I'm in Canada. :(

On the plus side, I just got Discount Armaggedon, and it's next on my reading list. :)

Given how much fun it was to be at a reading with you without an open bar, I can only be exceedingly jealous of anyone who lives near enough to join you. *sigh* I will just have to content myself with the fun to be had at Orycon this weekend. Oh, and I just finished Blackout. Can I just say wow? Wow. Just... wow. Very impressive plot logistics, which is the only way I can think to say it without giving spoilers. I loved it!
