The Nerds of Connecticut Are So Charming This Time of Year

Especially when this semi-old nerd from New York comes to visit. :)

Pi-Con is just a few more weeks away and I'm going to be there!  I'll even be reading Ch. 1 from ELEMENTAL during the Rapid Fire Reading! (yes, you know you want to be there to hear it)

But I have a problem.  I kind of want to dress up in something ELEMENTAL related. 

SO! I NEED YOUR HELP!!

Based on the cover and the back of the book blurb (all of which is located somewhere on this blog), what do you think I should wear?

I'll accept crazy suggestions, not-so-crazy suggestions, out-of-this-world suggestions!  You name it!  And I'll consider it!

I'll take my favorite suggestion and send the winner ten (yes, TEN!) signed bookmarks!!! And then! And then! I'll get my picture taken in the getup and send it to the winner, too!  Yes, I know.  Everyone wants a picture of me. ;)

Oh yeah, and if you're in the Enfield, Connecticut area, you MUST come and visit me (this isn't a stipulation to be a part of the contest, but I would love to meet all of you in person :) ).

Now get to thinking!! You've got a week to come up with something amazing and leave it in the comments.  I'm counting on you! :)

October Celebrations and Other Fun Things

First, I'm proud to announce that I've been chosen as one of the five finalists in maybe genius's Mash-Up Blogfest!  Voting is underway and there are some great selections to pick from.  So head on over there and pick your favorite!

Did you guys know it's October already??  I'm seriously wondering where Summer went!  I feels like it just started.  *sigh*  Well, that's okay because Fall has some of its own fun and spectacular things...like dressing up! And pumpkins!  And deliciousy* goodness!

So my question for you guys is what kind of fun things do you do in Fall?  Do you go apple picking?  Do you go to harvest festivals and load up on pumpkins to decorate your house?

Well, whatever you do, share with us!  I want to see pictures of your decorated homes and decorated selves!  Yes, that's right.  I'm planning on dressing up as Ella, my MC from ELEMENTAL.  So go out and take those pictures and then email them to me at emilywhite_1112(at)yahoo(dot)com to share with all of us!  And if you don't dress up or otherwise celebrate Halloween, then share pictures of what you DO do.  :D
