Minions, my publisher (Penguin young Readers) is sending someone to film the Snow Ball and make a cool Vlad promo video. However, you’ll need a release form signed in order to appear in the video. If you are under 18, you need your parents’ signature and permission to appear in the video. So…now here’s the important part…if you want to be in the video, please copy the following text into a Word file (or something similar), print it and hvae a parent/guardian sign it, then bring it with you to the Snow Ball in Grand Blanc, MI.

@Haley: The Snowball is a Vlad Tod themed party. Tickets or no longer available and it will be held in Grand Blanc, MI on February 6th. The only other way to see Auntie will be by going to one of her signings when she goes on tour.
Lol well, everyone wants their few minutes of fame- meh I’m still upset that I’m missing the whole thing it would have been a blast other wise- I hope everyone has a fangtastic time
Aww…I’m so disappointed that I can’t go to the snow ball. mayhaps one near jersey? please? *sigh* tickets to the snow ball would have been an amazing birthday present. (my birthday was two days ago)
love, blood, and myths,
(ll/\ll)
*gasp*
This is supposed to be fun, and I’ve been stressing myself out so bad that I’ve been having nightmares about the dance going bad (like someone stealing half my dress.) Now I’m having a panic attack thinking that I might end up on film. I know, I know… just don’t sign the form.
On the other hand I’m totally excited for you Auntie Heather. This is BIG!!!
I know its publicity for the books, but I could imagine seeing something like this ending up in a trailer for a movie. ^^ (Well, at least the story board stuff. I forget what the live action acting out of scenes is called.)

(||/\||)
Awwww…. If I would of known of this I would soooo be going
that sucks too because I live in iowa Which is right next to Minnesota
My mom would have DEFINENNTLEY signed that note for me at the speed of light..
But since I’m not going to the Snow Ball, – Because I live SOOO far away from Michigan… – I won’t be able to give my momthe note.
;( Oh well. The people who get to be there are very fortunate.
PLUS, I’m hosting my own party at home for Eleventh Grade burns.
