Stuff x 3

Posted on by scott

1) Thanks to everyone who came to the Toronto event, especially those who made special T-shirts:

Kelly, whose shirt features one tridecalogism each for Extras (extraordinary), So Yesterday (consumeristic), Midnighters (numerological), Uglies (beautifulness), and Peeps (zombification)!

And Katie, whose shirt speaks for itself. (Though she confided to me that she actually had done her homework before coming.)

Justine was voice-missing from too much touring, and let me do the talking. But I had lots of great, and tricky, questions. Thanks again!

2) If you’ve been following YA for Obama, you know about the Action Hero prizes. Well, tomorrow’s prize is a signed copy of Bogus to Bubbly. Go here to find out how to win.

3) Watch this space carefully, because in a couple of days you will all have the chance to participate in a PhD thesis about online fandom. Because you must be studied! (Dissection optional.)

  3. I went! I was the girl who didn’t have a book for you to sign but a piece of paper instead. xD One of my most humiliating expierences ever. But that’s okay, no need for material things to prove what and who I am. *cough cough* Hoped you enjoy Toronto. =D

  6. Sound like fun, sadly I couldn’t make it because it was a school day, and Yorkdale too far. Cool shirts too, don’t think I could have come up with those.

  8. Yay for Katie and Kelly’s fawesome shirts – and double yay for a dissertation on dissection! I have some experiments in my basement if Mr./Ms. PhD thesis would like to study them, kupo –

    Oh dear. I seem to have misread the post – nyoro-n~

    For another time, maybe. 😀

  10. My dad has a PhD! It’s in Paediatrics, even though he doesn’t work in that field … for some reason he just has to. He studies cancer 🙂
    Dissection is fun 🙂 EXCEPT FOR WHEN I AM THE SUBJECT!
    Sparky shirts! … Except i don’t get the first one … ???? OH! I get it now! I was just being SLOW!

  12. Online fandom…. tehe.

    And wicked sweet shirts!!!

    I’m jealous of everyone who got your signature…

    Steph – when I was like 10 or something and obsessed with this singing group Zoegirl, I went to their concert and had them sign a ripped piece of paper since I couldn’t afford their CD… so don’t feel bad. ^_^

  15. Yay!!!!!
    Thanks for putting up the pictures!!!
    I had a great time.
    And thanks everyone for the compliments on the shirt 🙂

  16. hmmm…
    just sent a very confusing email to my friend who may or may not know the girl from the photos Katie. anyways loved the shirts. i need to make a shirt now.

  20. I know i completely failed all blog reading scott-la, but im back and i shall keep in all of blog-reading once more

  22. *sigh* Yet another book signing to add to the list of Awesome Things I Missed Because They Were Too Far Away. I’ll put it right next to all the Anthony Horowitz signings I missed and Paramore’s “Final Riot” tour. Oh, and all the Arsenal games I’ve missed because they’re in England and I’m… not.

    p.s.
    Would anyone reading this please visit my blog? It’s been up for a week now and so far I think only four people have read it. Maybe five.

  23. Those are awesome t-shirts!

    Hey, SCott-la any chance you can come to Massachusetts? (It even has thirteen letters!)

  24. Those are the best T-shirts in the universe. Because we all know the Earth just isn’t big enough. The planet Crayn in the Kirt galaxy has some really awesome T-shirts, but those beat “Small rays of hope doom us all.” and, of course, “DOOM CLOUD”.

    Those shirts are just that good.

  27. i like how they like cut the t-shirts to make them even more original. internet fandom very interesting

  28. So online fandom…I guess thats pretty fawesome, I didn’t really think of this as fandom, more like me being interested in everything my favorite authors have to say. Lol but I guess that is fandom. Lol. I love the shirts.

  30. I is excited for tomorrow…

    i can’t wait till he goes on tour again!!! i’d feel bad if i went to justine’s jsut to try to talk to him.

  31. sob sob i couldn’t go. love the t-shirts though, mad bubbly!
    23 DAYS 4 HOURS UNTIL TWILIGHT MOVIE!!!! (not that i’m counting)

  33. Those shirts are super amazing!! I would love love love to meet you, Scott-la, that be super amazing as well.
    I finished Blue Noon, and Scott-la is too much of a super genius, it should be criminal. The series was amazing.
    ((I guess this post is full of amazing things…))

  35. Hmm, maybe I should do a write up on that blog, I’ve been canvassing for the Obama campaign and I have some stories to tell now…

  37. Wow. I feel specail for the shirt love. Added bonus fact is colour of the words is meant to match the colour I associate most with each book. On the other hand most unfortunate picture EVER.

    Most amazing signing of my life!!! It was great to meet you Scott (only my lfie goal for three years). Sorry if we were slightly terrifying.

    I would LOVE to be dissected.

  38. i. hate. homework. and. long. term. projects. and. halloween.
    on halloween, i have like a million tests, projects due, and other smaller things due. i feel like my life is surrounded by work on all sides. if i were working full time, i wouldn’t have less of a life.
    on brighter terms, i picked up bogus to bubbly (a lotta kids and teacehrs looked at me as tho i was crazy, like ‘bogus to bubbly? what hte heck does that mean?!’ but w/e. it’s SOOO cool.
    i’m reading the specialized books, the twilight series, brisingr, bogus to bubbly, and thirty nine clues while trying to juggle schoolwork and this babysitting gig i have every single thursday. and last saturday i had to go to my aunt’s wedding reception, whichw as nice and all, but it cut into my project time, and i’m waaay behind.
    i officially hate halloween.
    well, i gotta chip away at my project. yeah right. it’s soo dangerous to have internet access when you’re trying to do hw.

  42. HOLY HOVORBOARDS!(ive been saying that alot…)
    but yeah, i really need to make/buy a shirt from the store here
    i really liked the “the smoke lives” one…
    *sigh* mabey for christmas

  43. UMR-wa, I totally understand u. Internet be VERY distractive.

    Twilight out soon! 🙂
    Tho I may not get to see it 🙁 I don’t go to movies often.

    Rosie-wa if you go to a signing you should put safety sparklers all over a vest! Forget the shirts! 🙂

  44. cool!!!! i went to one of the book tour stops (Philly) but u weren’t there! UGH!!! i blame ur dentist for making get surgery!!! i had fun anyway so don’t feel too bad!
    still typing one-handed even though i’m supposed to be getting better but i’m NOT! (i haven’t gone to skool for 7 days coz i can’t sleep with the pain and when i take stuff to knock me out i can’t wake up in the morning but i can’t sleep without it. i actually was crying last night coz it hurt soooooooooooo bad and i DO NOT cry from physical pain…maybe emotional but NEVER PHYSICAL!!!) so the doc is sending me to get a MRI tomorrow to see if there’s something more than just a seperated shoulder. yay!

    GREEN DAY!!!! <3
    Summer has come and past,
    the innocent can never last.
    wake me up,
    when september ends.
    like my fathers come to pass,
    7 years has gone so fast.
    wake me up,
    when september ends.

  46. oh! i forgot to mention… i read a book today (no surprise i usually do) but anyway. it’s called MISS EDUCATED and it’s about like a boarding skool and like wat goes on and how two kids struggle to survive it…but that’s not wat i really care about. ok so one of the main characters (Parker and it’s a girl if ur wondering) she’s from Canada! and she TOTALLY reminded me of Andrea-la coz she was all off in her own little world (no offense but even u said u were) and she didn’t care wat people thought about her which i thought was cool! so…ya it’s a good book…READ IT!!!!

  48. hehe… that’s cool. i would of said “the wisdome of the crowd aya, like if you show a puzzle to some people mabe they all new at least one piece then the puzzle fits together” or something like that, i don’t know exactly im just doing it from memory.

  51. I wish i could say “forget homework”…really badly. I don’t want to write a journal on Catcher in the Rye…

  56. OMG Katie and Kelly you guys are so special!! lol

    and that’s not an unfortunate pic of you Kelly…I’ve seen worse (of me!)

    love the shirts!!! <3 <3
