Hi everyone and welcome to yet another new article of the Bathory Gazette. We have many things to discuss so join us as we do so.
First off, the Bathory Gazette Team would like to apologize for worrying you so by abadoning the website for a while. The truth... we were all on vacation. Yes, it's the time of the year, Summer, that we take a break from the website and relax. Again, very sorry! But now, let's move on with some very good news!
Heather Brewer has surprised us with two new, fangtastic events! And now, here we are to present the latest news! **DRUM ROLL PLEASE!**
1. Heather Brewer has recently announced that she is launching a national tour for the early release of Eleventh Grade Burns, coming to a store near you February 4, 2010! The orignal release date was supposed to be early summer but I guess we all got our wish and now, it is being released earlier. Which only means her tour must take place in February! Don't worry, we have the full details. The tour is the week of February 8th to the 14th. Excited? Well, Heather needs your help! Visit her blog ( heatherbrewer.com/blog ) and post ideas on where she should go! (or, you can even post them here!)
2. Now for even more FANGTASTIC NEWS! Look at the title and you are in for a surprise. Yes, it's true! Heather Brewer is hosting a REAL Snow Ball! Here are all the details, brought to you by Heather Brewer herself:
"What: A prom-like dance in the theme of the Snow Ball from The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod. The entire place will be decorated in snow and ice, complete with a Vlad smiley ice sculpture. We’ll have a DJ and dance floor, munchies and drinks. Books will be available for purchase and Auntie Heather will hang out with you guys the entire party. There will be tons of contests and prizes – definitely worth the trip!
Where: Somewhere in Southeast Michigan – right now it’s looking like Grand Blanc, but it may end up in Detroit.
When: A Saturday in February 2010 (I’m firming up the details with my publisher now – going on tour that month limits my time). Time-wise, the party will be from 8pm EST to midnight EST.
Why: to celebrate the launch of ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS (which debuts on, I believe, February 4th) and to spend time with your fellow Minions.
Attire: You should think “prom” and then think “snow” or “ice” and dress accordingly. We’re aiming for semi-formal to formal, leaning heavier on the formal side, because it’s fun to dress fancy! It’s been asked if dressing in “Gothic aristocratic” type clothing (top hats, tails, and canes) is okay, and the answer is YES! If it’s fancy and dress-up, it’s perfect for this event.
Stuff to remember: There will only be 200 tickets made available for purchase (and no word yet on when they will be made available). You can buy as many as you like while they’re available, but once they’re gone, they’re gone. There is no minimum (or maximum!) age to attend the Snow Ball. Once you purchase a ticket, a formal invitation containing the party details will be sent to you with your ticket.
How much will a ticket cost?/Where can I buy a ticket?: This has yet to be determined, but I’m guessing around $20-$40 a ticket. I’ll set up a paypal deal once all the details are finalized. As soon as I know anything more, you’ll know!
Why can’t the Snow Ball be in Saint Louis/California/New Jersey/on Mars?: Because it can’t. I have my reasons for choosing Michigan, Minions – though I wish I could find a place that’s accesible to every one of you. However, that’s not likely. But, if you’re interested in hosting smaller Snow Balls where you live, you should talk to your local librarian. And send Auntie Heather plenty of pics!"
So, what do you think? We know that here at the Bathory Gazette Headquarters, we are very, very excited! We need feedback! POST COMMENTS NOW!
And don't forget to reccomend this site to all your fellow Minions! Goodbye for now and we'll see you next time on the latest Chronicles of Vladimir Tod news!
