If you're in or near Seattle, I'll tell you what you
should be doing!

Not only will there be talented musicians (have I exclaimed recently about how much I like Toy-Box Trio? I think they're wonderful), not only is this event an excuse to dress up all fancy-like, but there's more!
I will be auctioning off an Advance Reading Copy of the Gothic Charm School book!*, Yes, your chance to get a copy of
Gothic Charm School: An Essential Guide For Goths And Those Who Love Them a month before it's released! It will be signed by the artist (that would be Pete Venters, of course), and I will sign and personalize it for the winner of the auction. Heck, I'll even put a lipstick print in it, if they want.
Really, you can't miss this event. You would be very very sad if you did.
Also, consider this your advance-advance notice:
June 23, 7:30PM, Barnes & Noble at University Village. Be there. That is the OFFICIAL release party for the Gothic Charm School book!
*All proceeds from the auction will be used to help fund the Gothic Charm School book tour, coming soon!
