Orders for the second run of Wicked Girls shirts <a href="http://seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com/435860.html">are now open, and will remain open until May 18th</a>. Please read the post carefully, as it includes important ordering information. We're planning a more gender-neutral shirt next, probably saying "My story is not done," but we need to get through this batch, first. In other news, I am a glutton for punishment.<br /><br />9. A bit of confusion has arisen relating to my East Coast trip. So here's the skinny: I am going to the East Coast, I am not attending any conventions while I'm there, I may or may not be doing any appearances. It's all still up in the air. I'll sign books at any bookstores I stumble over, but that's about all I can guarantee right now.<br /><br />8. If you're in New York, however, and enjoyed <i>Repo: The Genetic Opera</i>, might I recommend looking at the tour dates for <i>The Devil's Carnival</i>? It's the new project by the same people, and it looks awesome. I'll be attending the 7pm showing in Manhattan on April 26th, and more people always make for a better party. Unless there's a limited amount of cake.<br /><br />7. One of my favorite comic books, <i>The Boys</i>, is going into its final story arc. I am going to miss it so much when it's gone. On the other hand, I said the same thing about <i>Preacher</i>, which was this creative team's former collaboration, and look what it got me. I'm excited to see what comes next.<br /><br />6. I am trying not to be nervous about the Philip K. Dick Awards, which happen Friday evening, while I'm, you know, a state away. I have managed not to get my hopes up too high, although I have to admit, it would be awesome to win. It really is just an honor to be nominated.<br /><br />5. To the two girls dressed as Jean Gray who called the girl dressed as Emma Frost a skank this past weekend at Emerald City: Not cool. We're all geeks here together, and while you may have been giggling in character, she wasn't with you.<br /><br />4. To the extremely pretty girl dressed as Emma Frost who got called a skank this past weekend at Emerald City: You looked absolutely stunning, and your confidence and poise as you walked made it even better. Don't let people bring you down. You are amazing.<br /><br />3. And yes, that message would have been the same if it had been two Emmas and a Jean. I only noticed because the costumes caught my eye.<br /><br />2. In further comic book news, my comic book store tried to incite a Sharks vs. Jets throw-down between Avengers fans and X-Men fans last night. Apparently the Avengers were winning...until I walked in the door. Turns out, I'm a destructive force of nature where my comics are concerned. Who knew, right?<br /><br />1. Zombies are love.
