Okay, Minions, gather ’round! For those of you who frequent the forum, here’s a bit more info on the upcoming Snow Ball. For those of you who don’t…I’m hosting a Snow Ball! (surprise!)
Details are sketchy still, as I’ve only been planning this for a few weeks, but what I do know, I’ll post here.
What: A prom-like dance in the theme of the Snow Ball from The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod. The entire place will be decorated in snow and ice, complete with a Vlad smiley ice sculpture. We’ll have a DJ and dance floor, munchies and drinks. Books will be available for purchase and Auntie Heather will hang out with you guys the entire party. There will be tons of contests and prizes – definitely worth the trip!
Where: Somewhere in Southeast Michigan – right now it’s looking like Grand Blanc, but it may end up in Detroit.
When: A Saturday in February 2010 (I’m firming up the details with my publisher now – going on tour that month limits my time). Time-wise, the party will be from 8pm EST to midnight EST.
Why: to celebrate the launch of ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS (which debuts on, I believe, February 4th) and to spend time with your fellow Minions.
Attire: You should think “prom” and then think “snow” or “ice” and dress accordingly. We’re aiming for semi-formal to formal, leaning heavier on the formal side, because it’s fun to dress fancy! It’s been asked if dressing in “Gothic aristocratic” type clothing (top hats, tails, and canes) is okay, and the answer is YES! If it’s fancy and dress-up, it’s perfect for this event.
Stuff to remember: There will only be 200 tickets made available for purchase (and no word yet on when they will be made available). You can buy as many as you like while they’re available, but once they’re gone, they’re gone. There is no minimum (or maximum!) age to attend the Snow Ball. Once you purchase a ticket, a formal invitation containing the party details will be sent to you with your ticket.
How much will a ticket cost?/Where can I buy a ticket? This has yet to be determined, but I’m guessing around $20-$40 a ticket. I’ll set up a paypal deal once all the details are finalized. As soon as I know anything more, you’ll know!
Why can’t the Snow Ball be in Saint Louis/California/New Jersey/on Mars? Because it can’t. I have my reasons for choosing Michigan, Minions – though I wish I could find a place that’s accesible to every one of you. However, that’s not likely. But, if you’re interested in hosting smaller Snow Balls where you live, you should talk to your local librarian. And send Auntie Heather plenty of pics!
Where can I find plane tickets?/What about hotel? Auntie Heather is a big fan of www.expedia.com. But www.travelocity.com and www.orbitz.com are good too. The Snow Ball may be held in a hotel, though, so hold off on those reservations.
If you have any more questions, please ask them in the comments here and I’ll update the post to answer them.
So…who’s excited??

Michigan! no way my parents are going to be cool enough to drive me up there. I guess poor STL will have to sulk and wish that the ball could be here. Sigh.
No worries about STL….just where do you think the party for TWELFTH GRADE KILLS will be…?
I wish the snow ball could be in Maryland….. mostly in the baltimore area because I love these book’s and I want to go soooo badly, but my parent’s will never let me go to Michigan.
aww man. i really wanna go! but school and my parents
and TCOVT series are awesome!
Man I want to go! But I live in Hawaii so its hard to get there for me
Hopefully my mom is thinking about it… cause I REALLY wanna go!
Danm. I cant go to the U.S.!
i’m sad…IT’S TOO FAR AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE!!!!! but i guess that’s okay….
i guess a small one in my library would be ok probably not as awesome as yours though
but hey maybe we can take a vacation then (ha ha ha very unlikely) but who knows i can always beg
thanks for doing the ball though its nice to know that at least you care about your readers
YAY! it only pasted once i was worried!
i wish i could go but my parents would never drive to michigan. i guess i could talk to my librarian and get a bunch of signatures of students who think its a good idea and talk to my pricipal.

Your pale little friend,
emily
p.s.i live in maryland so i have to skip my b-day party so i can go and im saving my money to see new moon and eclipse.and also just incase extra for the possible vladimir tod movie
OMG, I might be able to go, because my brother goes to school in Michigan, and if I convince my parents to let me visit him, I might be able to go!!! The only issue is he goes to school in the Upper penisula, where this is in the lower penisula…
PS. It would be so much easier if you like picked somewhere near Chicago…
When will tickets be available?
Iwant to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I wish you said it would be in Ohio!!!!!!!! But am I ever gonna try to make it.
Of course it’s on the other side of the country. You should have it on Mars! That would be fun!
omj(oh my juice) im so excited michigan iz cold and close to ohio so !!!!YAY!!!!
-yours in eternity -becca
YAAY! I live near Windsor, and my two friends are HUGE FANS OF THE SEXY VLADIMIR TOD!!! We are so going… We all have permission, and most likely a ride too! It would be better if it was in Detroit but Grand Blanc is alright as well!
- Mrs. Stephanie Tod.
omg dang i wish i could go i really love your books i love any books about vampires werewolves anything like that but it sucks i live in florida i might be able to get my parents to say yes cross your fingers evryone
i wish it was in stl. maybe there could be another one? but anyways..
love the books!!!!! vlad is sooo hot!!!!!
OMGOMGOMG!!! my perents are thinking about it but i dout i will go cause i live in California, but my dad makes a lot so maybe we can, i can always hope!!!
Michigan… I live in Alabama, but lucky for me my mom has family in Michigan, so… I get to go!!!!!
This makes me so sad Heather!
I’d cost me about 500 just for the plane tickets!!! If I want to go to El Salvador for my 10 day vacation (which isn’t set it stone yet) There is no way I can go to this.
You have no idea how much I want to though!
Currently I’m moving from NH to GA and it’ll cost a lot. We’re gonna be tight on money for a while. You’ll have to come to GA someday! Hopefully while I’m still there! I’ve been dying to meet you and get all my lovely books signed!
OMG! So i was supose to go on a cruis for my birthday but aparently none to alaska run in march. I read threw your blog saw this and i nearly fainted. my mom has agreed to get me and my best friend (who are tottal Vlad book freaks) two tickets then the three of us …(or 4 if dad comes) are going to fly to mchigan from cali omg omg omg omg im so freaking stoked! now to get tickets. woman you rock!
Well I love your books, and i love your style and Feb. is close to April when I’ll be turning 18, so maybe I can beg my parents to let me go. I really don’t know though. If i can’t, please consider throwing a Snow Ball in N.Y.C. I mean who doesn’t love the big apple right? I mean its where everyone wants to be, so why not so one here? Publicity is big in New York Heather, think about it.
LOL. But you are a genuis nonetheless.
i love your books because they have vampires in them and i love vampires
Hi!!! i love the series The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod!!! i feel kinda like vlad thats why i connect to the book…i cant talk to girls, im not the greatest in math, i do get bullied from time to time,etc… i love the books and i cant wait until i go and get The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod Tenth Grade Bleeds!!!
I already have a dress!!! Usually I dont plan ahead… mother says she wishes I would put the same amount of effort in my schoolwork as Ive put in preparing for this ball!!!
omg thats around my b-day yay
