2) All the tour postcards have finally been sent out, yesterday and this morning — there was a massive glitch at the printer's and thus the delay, fortunately postcards rarely take more than a few days to get where they're going so all should be well. Also thanks to the printer there was a shortage of postcards with the tour image on them, so a few of you, maybe thirty, will be getting postcards with Infernal Devices or MI images on them. Fortunately all postcards function about the same. :)

3) In preparation for tour, I have ordered approximately 15 polka-dot dresses from Stop Staring. Stop Staring makes vintage-inspired dresses that all kind of look like this:



So if you see me on tour, I will probably be wearing polka dots. Dots!

4) Four days till City of Glass!

That dress is so cute! You can never have too many polka dots.

Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 03:16 am (UTC)
Praise indeed from the stylish one!

Can I just say how much I loooove that dress? The 50's is my favorite ear--sartorially speaking, of course. The rest of it, not so much.
Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 03:16 am (UTC)
Agreed on both points!
(Anonymous) on March 20th, 2009 02:05 am (UTC)
I cannot tell you how excited I am. First, City of Glass comes out and the NEXT DAY, you're coming to Oceanside!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAY!

Nice dress.
Lindsay Leggett[info]akabins on March 20th, 2009 02:34 am (UTC)
I'll definitely be in Toronto. I was hoping it would be at Yorkdale, because I live very close. I'm extremely excited and will wear my amazing steampunk-esque shoes.
Kams[info]thekams on March 20th, 2009 02:48 am (UTC)
That dress is so cute! And now I really want to find a way to make the 16ish hour drive to Toronto for that day.

OMG!! I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo EXCITED!!!Me and a friend are doing massive blog COG celebration week next week!!! AGH!! can't wait!
Miss Rebecca[info]daredevgrl on March 20th, 2009 03:17 am (UTC)
Imagine my shock when my library notified me that City of Glass was ready for me to pick up SIX days before the release...

I finished the book in three and half hours.

All I have to say is... nah, I won't ruin it for y'all...all right, I can at least say this: <3

it's FANTASTIC.
expensive, but FANTASTIC.
Mad Social Scientist: !!! Renée[info]mawaridi on March 20th, 2009 04:12 am (UTC)
City of Glass isn't actually out yet? But...I bought it two days ago o_O

Now I feel guilty for getting accidental early!book. Also extra guilty for not having read it yet (I want to finish vol II of Octavian Nothing first, which I bought pretty much at the same time).

Although it does kind of make me feel better about the fact that the first two books took ages to get to Australia :D
Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 05:26 pm (UTC)
It's not YOUR fault. The bookstores in Australia have been really really bad about sticking to the embargo date, which only worries me because it might endanger any future simultaneous releases in Aus/NZ.

Yay for evening signings that are after my exam! Also, yay for venues that are walking distance from my house! Since the venue is a church, I am assuming that I can bring my own books for you to sign, rather than buying them there ... there will be books to buy there, though, right? Any idea what kind of payment they'll take? Thanks!
Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 05:27 pm (UTC)
It should be set up like a regular bookstore, with them selling books just as they would normally and with their normal signing rules.
La Fille dans le Miroir[info]acharmedlife on March 20th, 2009 04:24 am (UTC)
YAY TORONTO!

SK♠エスケイ[info]skrknmt on March 20th, 2009 05:07 am (UTC)
Oh my god, Vancouver?! It's so close to UBC and my bus route! I can definitely make it! :D
(Anonymous) on March 20th, 2009 05:25 am (UTC)
I keep on trying to trick my local bookstores into letting me have a copy early... I'm happy (for you. Not so much for me who wants this book now) to say that so far I have been unsuccessful.

Also, the dresses are very cute.
(Anonymous) on March 20th, 2009 07:42 am (UTC)

Damn that girl is scandalous![info]msaether on March 20th, 2009 01:24 pm (UTC)
that dress is incredibly cute. i think i could probably stock my entire closet with those.

four more days! i'm very excited! not to mention that the toronto date is only 15 minutes from my house!! whoo-hoo!
platinum_cobra[info]platinum_cobra on March 20th, 2009 05:10 pm (UTC)

I wanted to ask if you had any plans/were willing/not too busy/not too overwhelmed/hand not too pained, to sign other books, that is your other two books, in addition to City of Glass?
Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 05:25 pm (UTC)
I'll be signing all my books at signings.

OMG !!!!!! i'm in japan the day you come to vancouver !!! .. im going to get my mom to go for me though :D .. im so happy holly black is going to be there to . i cant wait till city of glass comes out !!!!!!
(Anonymous) on March 20th, 2009 06:07 pm (UTC)
we can bring our own books for you to sign right? .. i dont really feel like buying them all over again
Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 06:08 pm (UTC)
It depends on the bookstore's policy. Sometimes they want you to buy the most recent book.
ファイ・D・フローライト[info]flowright on March 20th, 2009 06:38 pm (UTC)
Four days till City of Glass!
Amazon.fr shipped mine two days ago.... I'm going to read it tonight during my night shift. That's exciting to know I will be able to read it now !
Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 06:40 pm (UTC)
Yep, non-English-speaking companies get it first, weirdly.
spectrumrealm[info]spectrumrealm on March 20th, 2009 07:07 pm (UTC)
AHHH! TORONTO IS FINALLY SCHEDULED! Yorkdale Mall, very convenient place.

4 DAYS 4 DAYS 4 DAYS!

Question: How long do you expect the whole event to last, give or take? Unfortunately I can't make it on two on the dot, I'll probably barge in about 3:00pm.
Cassie Clare[info]cassandraclare on March 20th, 2009 08:22 pm (UTC)
Two hours I'd guess. Depends how many people show up.
