The Cult of Lincoln

Friday, July 06, 2007


Holy cow! The Harry Potter release party in Union Square just got about fifty trillion times cooler! I knew Jim Dale (performed the US edition audio books) would be in attendance, but we're also getting:
  • Dave Barry (via video) and Ridley Pearson, co-authors of The New York Times bestselling prequels to Peter Pan, Peter and the Starcatchers and Peter and the Shadow Thieves, as well as the upcoming final book in the trilogy, Peter and the Secret of Rundoon.
  • Eoin Colfer (via video), author of the multi-million selling global phenomenon Artemis Fowl series as well as the upcoming Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel.
  • Rick Riordan, author of the number one New York Times bestselling series Percy Jackson & The Olympians.
  • Jonathan Stroud, author of the bestselling Bartimaeus Trilogy.
  • Cinda Williams Chima, author of The Warrior Heir and The Wizard Heir.
  • Rob Kidd, author of The New York Times bestselling series Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow.
The event will also be webcast live at bn.com/midnightmagic.

HECK. YES.

New York offers so many fabulous possibilities. You're going to have a blast! Also, Judy Kelly highly recommended that you go online to try to get tickets to Shakespeake in the Park in Central Park--I believe it's Romeo and Juliet but with lots of water...It closes July 14th according to Judy--Mum

Perhaps Jim Dale will be there because he is directly involved with the HP series but not the other authors...

I bought a signed copy of Thursday Next "Something Rotten" for $7 at a bookstore in Denver. I think I win.
