Back In The Saddle

I haven't posted since, what... October?
Yeah; something like that. My bad. *facepalm*

So, I'm now posting, not as overworked employee at but as owner of The Book Worm!

Yep... pretty sweet.

I planned a lot of changes in the store. I say "I" because I did plan them but the work to implement them has been a huge group effort. We've removed shelving units, moved whole genres and created sitting areas.
Next: we hold our rollers aloft with pride. We paint!

Have I mentioned that I'm tired?
No?
...Yeah... I'm tired. But overall, this is extremely rewarding.
I'm 25 and I own a bookstore. I own a BOOKSTORE! I love books! I love selling books!
Epic win!

Lots happening... over all. Less at the moment. At the moment, I'm hitting the hay.

G'night peeps.

It's 12:15-ish... And I'm Laboring To Give You All Pertinent Information. (I Hope You Appreciate This)

Got in from South Carolina late the other night. Still tired but… Oh. My. God. So amazing!

I learned so much and met so many great people; I have so many ideas and so much planning to do.

But, first thing’s first: Cosplay Weekend. It’s still on and still epic.

*Update: Penny Dreadful Productions is judging the costume contest as well as showcasing major amounts of awesome… Seriously, their stuff is like, whoa.

Plus, the (sorta) full list of prizes for the costume contest is now on the Cosplay Page. Check it out… and tell you’re friends! Don’t make me have to come after you, people.

More later.

P.S.

I want to give a ginormous “Thank You!” to Janet Bollum of The Muse Bookstore for making such a great opportunity available to me. …So, thank you.

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...)

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.
