Welcome... And Other Appropriate Pleasantries

This is a sister site, an off-shoot, the offspring or perhaps, simply, the unholy union between the online home of The Book Worm Bookstore and my leaky mind.

It is a place for me to share my thoughts and information in a creative, shiny and sarcastic manner. It is a place where fans of The Book Worm, friends of the Book Worm, Lovers and Haters of The Book Worm can speak freely... Though, the Hater's bits will probably be deleted swiftly and with relish.

It is not a place for you to place an order for books. You may not phrase requests for books that you do not know the title or author of and can only describe with the vaguest "It's about this guy who meets this girl and they fall in love but then they break up but then get back together again"; because I will laugh at you and then delete your comments.

You may, however, feel free to submit informative requests for titles, ordering and general information simply by copy and pasting this link to the store site into your browser: www.thebookwormonline.com

Welcome, friends; you're in for a real... well, I wouldn't say treat, but you get the idea.

Cosplay 2011: It's On, Baby!


Cosplay Weekend, 2011 is on! October 15th, 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

I'm really excited about this, guys. See my excited face?

So, here's a rundown on what's happening.

Not here here... scroll down.


(Keep going...)





Best In Costume: A contest in 3 rounds.
(Hosted by P.S. Coffee)
Round 1: 12:00
Round 2: 1:00
Round 3: 2:00
*Through eliminations, a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner will be chosen and announced at the end of Round 3.
*Sign up fee is $2 (we're on a budget too, so cough it up.)
*Participants must sign up through email to the following address.
shopthebookworm@yahoo.com
Please include your name and character. I will reply with your assigned number which you can pick up the day of the contest.
Cut-off date for entry is October 10th.
*Costumes may run the gamut: I don't care who you're cosplaying as, so long as you're having a good time.
*Costumes must be child friendly: There will be kiddies around, ladies and gents. Butts and boobs must be covered!

Fan Art Free-For-All: Submit your best work within the time limit to win.
-Round 1: 2:30
-Round 2: 3:45
*Contestants must bring their own supplies: I'm a book store; I don't have that kind of stuff lying around.
*Winners will be announced at the end of each Trial.

Lilly's Game Den: Time to whip out some epic D&D action.
12:00 - Close
*Bring your kit and come out to play. The Den at Lilly Torte is furnished with sofas, tables and chairs... and floor space. While it's certainly the ideal spot for some epic D&D, there's definitely room to pop a squat with your PSP or DS.

Jess' Armoury: Kick some @ss with Steampunk Weaponry.
Open... until she's sold out.

Featuring Art From:
Dianna Bedell
&
Lorraine Johnson

...and sweet, sweet treats from:
Nom's Gifts (She makes Ninjabread Men... Ninjabread!)
&
Lilly Torte Bakery (Get ready to stuff your face with Nerdcakes galore.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no admission fee; so bring your friends, cheapskates!

I also have (my lame attempt at) fliers you can print out and post wherever you like. Just send me a message and I'll send you the file.

This thing has the potential to be epic; but it can't happen without you and twelve of your friends. Powder Springs has never seen anything like this; so let's make an impression and have a h#ll of a good time doing it!

I am Finn, and it's officially Adventure Time! I will See. You. There.
