Whoosh! Fun weekend! And some upcoming events you should go to.

[cupcake_goth]

This past weekend, cass404 and flyingtapes came up from Portland to join minim_calibre and myself at the Cobra Starship show. Which was all sorts of silly fun, even if I was surrounded by shrieking 14 year olds.

That was Saturday. On Sunday, domestinatrix came over and played kitchen at my house. Since we already had a bunch of people over, I figured I should be a good daughter and call the parents. So Mom & Dad showed up, and domestinatrix got to play her favorite game of feeding everyone yummy food. I also spent part of the afternoon teaching Princess Tickybox how to draw sigils to protect herself from skerry monsters. What? That is part of a fairy gothmother's job, didn't you know that?

Needless to say, returning to the day job? Kind of strange. (Especially because I had taken Friday off and spent the day working on manuscript revisions.) Being back at the office feels kinda odd.

Events! That you need to know about!

Wednesday Oct. 29th, 6:30 PM: the Harper-Teen "Books With Bite" tour stop in Seattle (well, Redmond). Ellen Schreiber, the author of the Vampire Kisses series, will be at Borders in Redmond. (As will Nancy A. Collins and Claudia Gray.)

Friday Oct 31st, 7:00 PM: American Nightmare: A Halloween Horror Reading, with Michael Montoure. Wayward Coffeehouse in Greenwood.

Thursday Nov. 6th, 6:30 PM-ish?: Angel Ceballos is showing new work during the Nov. Artwalk at 619 Western Ave, Seattle – Starfish Studios, 4th Floor South. (There is a photo of me by her underneath the cut-tag at the end of this post, thus filling my vanity picspam quota for the week.) I won't be at this artwalk, because I will be away. But you should attend it!

Saturday Nov. 15th, 9:00 PM: My birthday party at Club V!

I have to edit my post and add your reading to the events list!

WOW! Jilli, that is a gorgeous picture of you! Have you considered using it as your author pic for your book? (Or is that why it was taken? I may have missed that.)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I am considering using it as my author photo, actually. I need to confab with the Stroppy One, Angel, and my editor.

[haate.livejournal.com]

i actually made the "Aww, that's so cute!" noise at that picture. It really is Iconic Jilli.

Speaking of iconic...have you made an icon from said picture yet?

edited to add:
Unfortunately, i'm slated to be working all night on 11/15, so I won't be able to come to your bday :( I am now a sad panda.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

The Stroppy One will be making me an icon from that photo later today.

Working all night? Booo!

[water-of-fire.livejournal.com]

That is a perfect picture. :)

[stillbourne.livejournal.com]

you are SO ADORABLE!!!!!

LOVE IT!!!

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! Thank you!

[twilight2000.livejournal.com]

What an absolutely *lovely* pic! Now I have something to point to when showing people the lady I talk about ;>.

[savannarama.livejournal.com]

I concur!

[dj-stitch.livejournal.com]

Completely, adorably stunning. :)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Utterly and Completely Adorable!

[trudybooth.livejournal.com]

That picture is just too wonderful.

[satyrblade.livejournal.com]

What a marvelous shot! :)

Happy Birthday, Cupcake!

That is the most perfect picture of you!

[tolkiencub.livejournal.com]

Utterly wonderful. :)

[sepulchrave.livejournal.com]

That would be rad. If you do want to do that, I can go through all the shots I took of you and show you those.

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think it's better than the current one we have, but the editor did like having the parasol in shot so that may be a hiccup for selling her on the images from robotangel's shoot.

However, I think at least perusing the new images would be a good idea because this one alone is already more flattering than all the images taken for Bust.

[sepulchrave.livejournal.com]

Oh whoops I made you one, I got mixed up!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

But the Stroppy One hasn't made me one yet! So I am clapping my hands at the one you sent me.

[rev-blacky.livejournal.com]

Om nom nom!!!

[ms-tate.livejournal.com]

A truly lovely photo of you! Adorably beautiful.

[jola.livejournal.com]

[ozitonaranjo.livejournal.com]

Two thumbs up on the picture!

Trip really, really liked it. He thinks you're cool. :) lol!

[larissa1206.livejournal.com]

Funny thing? I know one of the screaming 14 year olds, and she loooooved the show. :)

Excellent picture to be sure!
