WOW. I knew I coud throw a party. And I knew the Snow Ball would be a blast. But I had NO IDEA it would be THAT much fun!!! Pics absolutely cannot do this justice, but I had my sister snap off a few for this blog (thanks, Dawn!), until the really good pics come back from the photographer, just so I could show you all the awesomeness that was the Snow Ball.
First off, I’ve been told that there was a line outside the door starting a half hour before doors were set to open. You Minions must have been anxious! But I wouldn’t know. Because from about a half hour before until about 20 mins. after the doors opened, I was sitting in a back, dark, lonely lil room, waiting for my big rock n roll entrance to begin.
And then it did.
My lovely assistant/husband, Paul, rallied up the crowd to the tune of “Headfirst for Halos” by MCR (one of my FAVE songs), and after he announced “Auntie Heather Brewer!!”, my son Jacob (who was totally Vlad!) opened the door and I came out to so much applause and screams that I nearly cried. After a few high fives, I thanked everyone for coming and read from ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS. Just look at all these adoring faces:
And then…it was time to get down to business. It was party time.
We ate great food. I signed people, stuff, and books (which are like stuff, but not quite). The room (which you can’t see well in pics) was covered in snow and ice. Even the cake was all snowflakes (and you can’t see it in the pics, but the cake maker, Dahlia, painted little Vlad Marks all around the base – and the big Vlad smiley at the top was covered with actual silver leaf). By the time the cake cutting commenced, I was sooooo tempted to hack and slash it to pieces in a psycho move…but I held back, so everyone could enjoy it.
So after the cake, there was more signing. Here’s a quick peek at PART of the line (which went on forever and never shrank. Seriously. The only time I had away from signing was for filming suff with the videographers. But it was so amazing, I didn’t care.)
And the Minions danced the night away!!
But no worries. It wasn’t ALL signing. Just before midnight, Paul got me on the dance floor.
It was amazing, and I’m so blessed to have spent that evening with so many Minions. THANK YOU!
And if you missed the Snow Ball, but you live in or near Sattle (or are willing to travel), come see me tomorrow night!!! I’ll be at Secret Garden Bookshop at 7pm.
Tomorrow’s the big day, Minion Horde. ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS is about to be unleashed!!!
EDITED TO ADD:
As requested, here’s a pic of my son, Jacob, and the lovely Mina Lovett!

omg your son looks like vladimir from the book if there is a movie he should be the actor Vlad. XD that would be totally awesome !!!!! U ROCK !!!! XD
I like the layout of your blog and I’m going to do the same thing for mine. Do you have any tips? Please PM ME on yahoo @ AmandaLovesYou702
woah, your son would make a good vlad
Your son looks kinda similar to what I thought Vladimir would be.
looks awsome, your son really looks like Vlad. Cool.
I wish I could have come, but no worries, we had our own little “Snow Ball” in the basement of our church. The same weekend. And I didn’t even come up with the name. Talk about creepy. ‘~’
do people still reply even though its old
“Headfirst For Halos”?! My,my, you really are a spoiled little princess! Wahahaha! I love My Chemical Romance! They are the best band EVER! On a scale from 1 to 10 (ten being the bestest thing in the entire universe) how much do you love them?
i would have dressed just like snow LOL
omv ur son is cutee he should play vlad if there wuz ever a moviee
Man, I wasn’t able to come. But we had our own here (yes, it was called the Snow Ball, no i did not name it). I won a crapload of prizes in dance-offs, ticket raffles, and stuff like that. Some of my “scary gothic” friends (that’s what my friend Jacob calls them, but he’s preppy and sometimes annoying) came. They’re like the Sprat-Kristoff-October-Snow group (more of the Sprat part of that). A.K.A. the very “scary” group in the corner yapping and SOMEHOW dragging into crazy stuff the do, like dancing. I really, really, REALLY despise the idea of everyone staring at me (yet I’m in choir). But it was a small church dance. Did you save me a piece of cake?
i wish i waz there!
i pictured vlad 2 b a lil different lookin than ur son. but i lik his hair
He DOES look like Vlad!!OMG I wanted to go SOOOOOO BAD!!! my parents wouldn’t hve let me even if I had asked.
P.S.:Ur son’s hawt!
It’s too bad ur son’s 3 yrs older than me…
Oh well, I can still say he’s really really really(on and on) HAWT(little southerness)
I really wish I could have been there, but my parent’s would have said no anyways if I had asked. I’m thinkin about asking my princible this year if we can have our own Snow Ball.(I’ll be in charge of course!) I’m in 8th this year so it’ll b easier to convince her that we(the oldest in the school) should have a REAL dance.(we have UNFORMAL meetings as they call it)
Yours in Eternity,
Cassie
