Come to Borderlands, which isn't closing, to celebrate POCKET APOCALYPSE!

I am going to start this reminder by being honest:

When I was in the planning phase for this event, I thought it was the last one we would ever have at Borderlands Books. Which made me sad. So sad, in fact, that my response to the timing difficulties (IE, right after a big trip, right after a con that would exhaust most of the members of the Traveling Circus) was to say "let's have a quiet night and say goodbye," rather than "LET'S BLOW THE FUCKING ROOF OFF SINCE THEY DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE." So. The Traveling Circus and Snake-Handling Show will not be appearing this time. It's going to be quiet. It's just going to be quiet joy, instead of quiet sorrow.

But.

I would still love it very, very much if you could come to Borderlands Books, in San Francisco, California this Friday at 6:00PM. There will be cupcakes, and Q&A, and a raffle. There will be reading and signing and talking and so much joy, because we get to keep it. We get to keep our store, and celebrate my new book, and eat sugar, all at the same time. And life is good.

Life is so good.

I hope to see you there.

(If you can't make it, remember that you can contact the store to order signed, personalized books. For great justice!)

We will be there with eagerness and joy! (And tribute brought from the piney shores of Seattle!) ^_^
Hooray!
I wish I lived on the West Coast and could make it to one of these events.
Maybe someday.
We're looking forward to it, and are quite sure we'll have fun even without the Traveling Circus. This time, in addition to Josh, we're finally managing to bring our Guildmistress and her daughter along. See you tomorrow night!
It occurs to me that I should mention that Guildmistress's daughter is allergic to nuts. In case it matters, she's nine.
Our cupcakes are from Cups and Cakes Bakery in SF. None of the flavors have nuts in them, but nuts are handled in the bakery. The flavors this time include one gluten-free and one vegan.
Hooray!
One of these days while I'm on this coast, I'm going to make it to an event. But this week I teach until 3 on Friday and I live three hours away. (Also, can't cancel my office hours after class as my students have tests next week.)
:(
Maybe next time.
We'll be there. Likely straight from lab, as usual.
Always good.
We'll see how we feel after work, but we'll gonna try to make there.
I hope it went well. Say, would you provide the link to the site where you keep the Incryptid short stories. Last night I discovered that a friend of mine is a fan of yours and I thought she'd like the stories. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced the link when I upgraded to Google Chrome.
I'm not Seanan but I do have the link: http://seananmcguire.com/icshorts.php

I hope your friend enjoys!
Thanks!
I am glad this was provided for you.
