Have you always wanted to attend one of my book events? Well, here's your chance!<br /><br />The Traveling Circus will be reuniting this Saturday, September 18th, for a gala bash at <a href="http://www.borderlands-books.com/">Borderlands Books</a> in San Francisco, California! Festivities will commence at five, and continue until nine, by which point the bookstore will have had more than enough of us, and will doubtless shovel us all out into the street.<br /><br />Will there be music? Yes, there will be music. With Amy McNally, Michelle Dockrey, Betsy Tinney, SJ Tucker, and Brooke Lunderville in attendance, music has become unavoidable. The musicians will be back in the bookstore this time, leaving the cafe open for the consumption of delicious, delicious beverages, and even more delicious food.<br /><br />Will there be a raffle? Yes, there will be a raffle. Awesome prizes are being prepared <i>as we speak</i>, tucked into their box with care as we get ready for the big night. All attendees will get a raffle ticket automatically; get another ticket by making a purchase at either the bookstore or the cafe (three tickets per person, maximum).<br /><br />Will there be cake? Yes, there will be cake. It's Toby's one-year publication "birthday," and cake makes every birthday better.<br /><br />Will there be pendants? Yes, there will be pendants. <span class="ljuser i-ljuser i-ljuser-type-P " data-ljuser="chimera_fancies" lj:user="chimera_fancies" ><a href="http://chimera-fancies.livejournal.com/profile" target="_self" class="i-ljuser-profile" ><img class="i-ljuser-userhead" src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.svg?v=17080?v=158.1" /></a><a href="http://chimera-fancies.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username" target="_self" ><b>chimera_fancies</b></a></span> will be in attendance, with a never-before-seen batch of pendants created from an ARC of <i>An Artificial Night</i>. They're some of her best work to date, and will be available for sale throughout the evening. Seriously, you don't want to miss these.<br /><br />Remember that, if you can't attend, Borderlands is happy to take requests for signed and personalized books, and I'd be thrilled to sign a book to be mailed to you. They have all three Toby books, <i>Feed</i>, <i>The Living Dead 2</i>, and&mdash;the last time I checked&mdash;one of the last remaining retail copies of <i>Ravens in the Library</i>. So show up if you can, and consider placing an order if you can't!<br /><br />This message bought and paid for by The Traveling Circus and Snake-Handling Show, LLC.
