Christmas in June

My god, is it that time already? I came home from lunch today to find a box on my doorstep, full of Advance Reader Copies of Warrior and Witch. Book ain't coming out for three months, but apparently the ARCs are already in circulation. I shall have to think of something to do with them.

Then, about five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Found a box waiting on the porch, and in it -- EEEEEE!!!!!! My costume for the second Concordia game is here. I cannot wait for that game. To hell with the plot; I just want to show off the pretty. ^_^

In other news, since I'm now registered and everything, I should mention that I'm going to be at Readercon next weekend. At present I'm not on the program (having decided way too late to go), but I'm going to e-mail them and volunteer to fill any holes they might find themselves with. Regardless, come say hi to me if you're there.

Yay you!! This all sounds just wonderfully exciting and good. Can't wait to see your dress and your book. Uh maybe you could let a few of us touch one of your advanced copies. Maybe even sneak a read...

And oh I so have to get you to sign my copy of "Doppelganger"!!

Does family qualify for an advance reader copy? I only ask for them, and not for myself, for they may be reluctant to play the "we brought you into this world card" for anything less than choosing what retirement home to send them to.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that I know where they live. Nope. Not at all.

Squee! Any chance I can get a preview? Of the costume, that is.

Just to clarify.

Uh huh.

What?

You do realize, yes, that when I read this I was initially confused, because I assumed that by "family" you were including yourself?

Potentially.

I thought I would make the fine distinction between blood relatives and non. It is a very fine distinction that really only comes up when looking for a kidney donor. Or possibly whom to give an ARC to. I was just hedging my bets. ^^

Oh come on, you know you want to geek out about yer new costume to the only guy in town who *likes* wedding dress shopping.
