So, yesterday was the official offline (i.e. non-Internet, real-life version) Book Launch Party! It was at our house and about 70ish people came (I kinda lost count there). It was an awesome time! I even had a vampire magician / balloon animal artist guy…er, vampire (Keith Cobb, who was awesome…if you need a magician or balloon guy or a juggler or…well, check out his site, he does lots of stuff!)!
A Congrats sign made for me by some neighborhood kids -- is it not the cutest thing you have ever seen?

Look how short I am! Ack!
Besides the balloon animals and the magic show and all the food and drinks, there was also a bat decorating contest, 10 prizes given out, and a showing (outside, on the house) of The Little Vampire. Seriously a great time…but I’m still worn out! I think it is going to take me a week to recover! But at least I got the floors all mopped today… 
Yay! I love seeing photos, and everyone looks so happy. It looks like you had quite a fantastic time, which I’m happy to see. You deserve to celebrate and enjoy yourself after all of your hard work. Doesn’t it feel amazing to have your book published?? And of course, thank you for throwing such a wonderful online launch party too!
Max is very cute, I’m a sucker for babies. The party looks like a blast and I’m glad you had fun.

Hi Dizzy! Max is ADORABLE! Of course, I’m kinda biased.
Cute pics, Max is adorable. Did he decorate a bat too?
It’s nice too hear about your fun celebration.
Hugs, Danette
Cute pics. Looks like you had a great party. Cake looks delicious. I’m hungry. LOL
Great pictures! I had a lot of fun performing at your party. Thanks for the plug of my show.
Your favorite giant vampire magician,
Keith
Hi Keith! Well, you did a great job.
You’re definitely my favorite giant vampire magician of all time!
