YA Book Council discussion

Graveyard Book won an award from IndieBound, so this contest got cooked up where the indie bookstore which throws the coolest Graveyard-Book-themed party for Halloween wins a visit from Neil Gaiman!

Just thought I'd tell you. (I'm in a chain store, so I can't play. Although I might throw a party anyway.)

Wow! I want to go! Vromans should get right on that.

Vroman's is having a Graveyard Book themed Halloween party! It's on Oct. 30th at 7pm. I hope they win.

Yay! I hope I don't work that night.... R/O

It's at the Hasting's branch. If you don't work, want to go together?

I am almost finished with my Coraline gloves!!! Yes, and I will try to get a Coraline-type outfit together, although to be honest I think you would look cuter as Coraline than me.

I'd go as the Other Mother if I was tall enough. :\ Are they expecting people to dress up? This hadn't occurred to me.

Roxy, it's Halloween... (d'oh) ^_^

Great, now I don't know what to wear, ahhh.

No, seriously you guys, I don't know what to wear. *panics*

Let's all go as Coraline... crashing the Graveyard! ^_^

Or we could go the easy route and do the "holey ghost" thing



Charlie Brown, you make everything so easy!

I have to agree on how easy this would be. Coraline would be great if I had thought to knit myself a pair of gloves as well. :\

I'm in!

Awesome, where can we buy cheap white blankets? I doubt my mother will let me ruin hers.

I'll get right on it.

Can I be Charlie Brown? I'll carry a paper bag with rocks in it and all that.

You're going to need a beagle.

Okay then, let's stop by the dog shelter before we go to the party. >.>

you guys are big dorks!

Alfonso wrote: "you guys are big dorks!"

You're just jealous...

It's ok, I'm making your Big Dork costume so you can fit in with us.... wait... do you really need a costume? ^_^ Just come as you are! lol

Boo! Unless we get a GM into the store before the party I can't go. :( I have 2 overnights that week and we're stretched to the max.

Stupid work.

Hmmm, I have the black hole material, but I need the sheets and the masking material. For Pigpen I can just draw on the sheet with the marker I got from my Diary of a Wimpy Kid shirt.

It's just cute.

Suzy, for authenticity I think your green witch mask should be made of paper plate colored green with marker. Just saying.
