About that book launch. . .

[rolanni]

Wednesday afternoon, after work, Steve and I drove down to Old Orchard Beach to talk to Jeanne, owner-operator of Beggar’s Ride art gallery (which is just full of interesting and beautiful art; if you’re anywhere near OOB, it’s worth your while to make a detour and visit).

Short form:  Jeanne is almost as excited as I am about the idea of launching Carousel Tides at Old Orchard Beach; she and I agree that Beggar’s Ride is the perfect venue for a launch party; lists have been made and contacts are being pursued.

Target launch party date: Saturday, October 30, Halloween Eve, which used to be dignified as Mischief Night in my hometown.  I think the trenvay of Archers Beach would approve.

There are still pieces to pull together, and no idea how big this will be.  At the very least, we’ll have wine and cheese and friends celebrating the fruition of a project that’s been close to my heart for many years.  At the very most, we’ll have dancing in the streets, and free rides on the batwing horse.

Mark your calendars:  Saturday, October 30, Beggars Ride Gallery, 39 Old Orchard Street, Old Orchard Beach, Maine.  Time to be determined.  Watch this space for details.

Wife may still be working on that Saturday. Oh, dear.

Looking at a 7-9 p.m. timeframe, and on my list is getting with the OOB chamber to see which motels might still be welcoming guests and willing to do a discount for the party.

Looks like a great venue and sounds like fun. Alas, I'm too far away to make it feasible. I'll have to make do with pre-ordering the book.

Oh very cool! I hope you all have fun, since I am already booked for that weekend and know I won't be able to attend.

Would love to attend but am too far away to make it for the weekend. Hope all have a very good time.

Sounds like great fun, but unless I win the lotto, it's out of reach. I suspect my sister already bought the book for my birthday, so I'm poised for a satisfying read!

Gus wants to come but I told him it is too far away. Alas. So he decided to fall asleep. But locale looks really nice. You'll send us photos, right?

Way cool. Sounds like fun and more interesting than feeding Snickers bars to the local goblins. I ordered my copy of Carousel Tides from the local Barnes and Noble to make them start carrying your books.
I'll keep watching the blog. :)

We have made reservations -- if by some mischance the date changes, we will still have a lovely weekend in Old Orchard Beach.

Hoping the luck holds and that the date stays firm.
