VENUE CHANGE, YOU MUST LET THE PEOPLE KNOW.
Hey, campers! Sorry for the late notice, but we’ve got a venue change for the LAIR OF DREAMS launch event with special guest Chuck Wendig on Tuesday, 8/25. Due to some technical requirements for the musical portion of the evening, the party will now be held at The Bell House in happening Gowanus, Brooklyn.
NO TICKETS NECESSARY! THIS IS A FREE EVENT! AN ALL AGES SHOW! BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY! BRING YOUR ENEMIES! ALL ARE WELCOME!
Books will be for sale there at The Bell House from BOOKS OF WONDER. I will sign them all! Chuck will sign all of his books! Hell, we’ll sign ANYTHING!
Here’s all the deets:
What: LAIR OF DREAMS EVENT with Libba Bray & Chuck Wendig (ZEROES) and the musical stylings of the Full Flask Players!
Where: The Bell House, 149 7th Street, between 2nd & 3rd Avenues, Gowanus, Brooklyn http://www.thebellhouseny.com/
When: Tuesday, 8/25, 7 PM — SAME BAT TIME AS BEFORE!
How to Get There: Take the F or the R train to the 4th Avenue/9th Street stop in Brooklyn. FYI: You can take just about any train to Atlantic-Barclays and change over to the R train for two stops. Easy peasy.
If you’re over 21, there’s a cash bar. If you’re under 21, there are colorful wristbands and an array of soft drinks.
Please help SPREAD THE WORD! Tweet it. Facebook it. Text it. YouTube it. Make it into a sonnet. Turn it into LAIR OF DREAMS party puppetry. Use it to ask out that person you’ve been meaning to ask out but haven’t yet because you needed an opener first, like, “Hey, would you like to go see two insane people at The Bell House talking books and singing weird, 1920s medleys?” Whatever you like. Much appreciated.
So put on your glad rags, grab your friends (in a polite way, of course), and come out to Brooklyn to play. It’ll be a swell time. See you there!
Hope you have an amazing time! Wish I could be there.
Ms. Bray, I was about 50 pages into Lair of Dreams, and I had to turn out the light. Somewhere around 3 am I started dreaming I was lying in a bed in a beautiful, peaceful place, and then there was a sinister porcelain doll and a voice whispering, “dream with me.” I woke my husband up thrashing and yelling “No, no! I won’t!” Afterwards, after the shivering stopped, I thought, “Well, done, Libba.” I thought you’d like to know.
I have loved your books since reading A Great and Terrible Beauty all those years ago. Lair of Dreams is no exception, although one little niggly thing bothered me – I’m Chinese-Canadian, and moon cakes are generally only eaten at the Mid Autumn Festival (which was this past Sunday, super moon eclipse day). I’ve never heard of any moon cakes around at Chinese New Year. You wouldn’t be able to find them in stores. Anyhow, I wish I lived close enough to have been able to attend the launch event!
