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.

Do These Pants Make My Butt Look Nerdy...?

Let's get this part out of the way...

Cosplay, short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea.
(from wikipedia)

Now...

I've been interested in cosplay for several years, but have lacked the intestinal fortitude to try it. Dragon-Con has been a dream of mine but I have issues with large crowds in enclosed spaces.
...
Scratch that; it's not the large crowds in enclosed spaces, it's the panic attacks caused by the large crowds in enclosed spaces that puts the brakes on that particular dream.

So I'm going to do the next best thing: host a cosplay event at the BW.
(I know; awesome!)

I've got the date set (October 15th) and a couple of artists to come in; but it's mostly just a chance for me to nut-up, put on my chosen character and friggin' own!

You and me babes; we're gonna rock.

So; this is the first official announcement: The Book Worm's first (hopefully) annual Cosplay Event will be held October 15th. I'll be posting a schedule... sometime... later... once I figure out what it is.

Until next time...

Oh, and, if anybody has suggestions on things they'd like to see happen at this shin-dig; you know what to do.
