Kisses from the stacks ….

In honour of reading and literacy, I bid you gentle, but firm kisses from that hidden corner in the library stacks …. you know the one I am talking about…..

In other words, a most special thank you to all of you that helped promote, were a part of or sent well wishes for the Reading is Sexy Launch Party and Literary Celebration at Gudrun this past Thursday evening.  What a delightful group of the sexiest of cats!  And such a perfect atmosphere in Gudrun!  An enormous thank you to Patrick and the gang at Gudrun – Alison, Josh and Upton.

And again, thank you! Thank you for helping to promote literacy and supporting The International Association of Dyslexia!

Here are some of my pics from the night:

And some much better shot pics of John Biehler’s:

Thanks John!

A few highlights from the night included:

  • seeing the men of the calendar (Patrick, Raul and Mark) pucker up for literacy
  • teaching an incredibly bashful Mark Leiren-Young to put on lipstick (you’d think a man that had written a book entitled, Never Shoot A Stampede Queen, would have already learned how)
  • readings from Mark, Rayne and Raul
  • Mooty winning for the funniest responses in our little contest (go read them, they had me chuckling)
  • the auctioning off Rob’s Pics of Patrick
  • and of course, a whole lot of calendar kissing

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

PS Stay tuned for a Calendar Kissing near you!  Next one is this Thursday Dec 10th at 5 pm (likely at a Gastown pub) as Monica and Monique pucker up for charity.

Oh and our host for tonight’s literary celebration.

The Calendars are HERE!!!

With the first shipment of calendars here (looking brilliant I might add),  this is how we’ll be groovin’ it up in the sleepy, seaside hollow of Steveston tomorrow night:

And yes, I expect everybody to dance like this.
