Fun was had at BookPeople
Last night’s event in Austin went splendidly. The folks at BookPeople—Mandy, Topher and Emily were wonderful hosts. Emily mc’d brilliantly and we were asked lots of very smart questions. Many we’d never been asked before. I really like the Actor’s Studio format, which meant there was no awkward oh-noes-there-will-be-no-questions-tonight moments. It was a lot of fun to do an event with Scott again which we haven’t in ages.
And then there was this:

Rebecca’s superb anti-uni***n T-shirt. Doesn’t she look fabulous? She made me one too! Thank you, Rebecca, it fits perfectly. I’ll be wearing it here at NCTE.
Texas is always so good to me.

I pretty jealous – that’s a very fashionable tee! I’m SO looking forward to the ZvU anthology!
It was great having you at BP last night, I hope y’all enjoyed it as much as we did!
And shoot me an email if you want the parking fairy shirt, I’d be happy to send it to you!

The fine print says “Zombies for a Unic**n Free America (ZUFA). Est. February 15, 2007.”

This is probably old news to you, Justine, but I think I found the perfect reconciliation film for you and Holly–Stardust. It has a unicorn AND a zombie! Well, kind of a zombie. You’ll know what I mean if you’ve seen it. And it’s Neil Gaiman, so kind of enough said there!
