I wish one of these was closer to me. I would love to go! The nearest one for me is Napersville and that's about four hours in the car one way. Boo and bullfrogs!

If anyone else goes to one, definitely post about it!

"Event participants will have the opportunity to explore an onsite "living museum" of BSC memorabilia"

Ugh, naperville is the closest too, but it's still a few hours...way too far to go on a school night without a car, Lol

[anzuhana]

The only one I could go to is the one in NYC because it's the closest to where I live. When I went to Ann's facebook and looked around, you had to RSVP to attend, and in order to RSVP, you had to be a member of WiCM (Women in Children's Media). I'll keep looking for anything new.

[wanderingfrog]

You don't have to be a member of WiCM to RSVP. It's free if you are a member, and $15 if you aren't.

[anzuhana]

Thanks for the info, wanderingfrog.

Thanks for the link, booboobrewer. It looks like Ann knew about the two Sabrina Bouvier's. It was interesting to see what Ann thought Kristy, Claudia, Stacey, Mary Anne, Jessi and Dawn would be doing when they're adults.

[celaeno]

From the article:

Her views on the girls today: Kristy is “probably the head of something, maybe a business”; Claudia’s an artist; Stacey’s doing “something in fashion, not necessarily design, but maybe the business end”; Mary Anne’s a teacher; Jessi is still “passionate about dance, but not a professional”; Dawn is “permanently in California.” Other than that, she doesn’t have any “strong feelings” about Dawn and Mallory.

That's...kind of boring. Seems too predictable.

[candykane]

^ Yeah, a little boring. I know Ann would rather let readers come to their own conclusions about what happened to the girls, but I'd think she would have stronger ideas in her head about what they became as adults. I mean, how could she not? She created the characters and they were a big part of her life for years. Maybe she does but would rather not share.

[celaeno]

^I know right? As she says, how can she not even have an idea in her head of what she thinks became of Dawn or Mal?

[anzuhana]

^ Also, she says nothing about Abby, Shannon and Logan.

I think I remember her writing in one of her back-of-the-book letters that she always had a lot in common with Mal...and Dawn appears as early as #4! But then, "Claudia is an artist" isn't all that imaginative...David Levithan would probably have some interesting ideas

[Kylie90210]

Great article! But I agree Ann would have stronger ideas about their careers, right?
