Yeah, conference goes from 8:30 in the morning to probably 4:30 or 5 every day. I don't think I'll get roped into any vendor activities in the evening. So I am way flexible.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

“Not dead yet!”
X-posted w/Literary, because it seems apropos:
Seattle-istas and NoCal-isatas, a friend of mine, Carrie Jones, is book-touring in the areas next week and she writes YA that I think might appeal to many of you guys.
Her two most recent releases Need and Captivate just hit the NY Times Bestseller list. Her earlier books, Tips on Having a Gay Ex-Boyfriend and Love (and other uses for Duct Tape) were critically lauded, but it's really the Need series that's taken off.
She's a total sweetheart and I'd love to get her some support-- she's also touring with another author, Alyxandra Harvey-Firtzhenry. I don't know much about her, but she's written a vampire YA that seems to be getting some buzz as being different from the rest of the pack: Hearts at Stake.
Anyhow, details of the tour are at Carrie's LJ [link]
But here are the dates and times as well:
February 8th Third Place Books 17171 Bothell Way Lake Forest Park, WA Time TBD www.thirdplacebooks.com
February 9th Barnes and Noble 19402 Alderwood Mall Parkway Lynwood, WA Time: 7 p.m.
February 10th University of Washington Event Time: TBD
February 11th Copperfield's Books 140 Kentucky Street Petaluma, CA Time TBD www.copperfieldsbooks.com
Not Your Mother's Book Club Valentine's Bash @ Books Inc 601 Van Ness San Francisco, CA 7 pm www.notyourmothersbookclub.com
February 12th Keplers 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA Time: 5:30
For those of us in Seattle, it could be opportunity for mini-F2F *she says ever-so-hopefully*

Finally booked my flight and car for my DFW trip. Sadly (at least I think so in terms of where localistas are), it is more Fort Worth than Dallas.
In any case, I arrive at DFW at 5ish on Thursday (2/11) and am renting a car. My TCU presentation is not until 3pm the next day. So, if anyone's interested, I could do dinner on Thursday or something in the morning or for lunch on Friday.
I would love a hotel rec for either downtown Fort Worth or around the TCU campus.

Atlanta-istas! I'll be in your city from April 7-11 for the NTEN conference. Non-Atlanta-istas who are going to NTEN: same message. I'd love to grab a drink or something if others are up for it.
