David joked that Dawn "went crazy" -- did too many drugs and now is selling new age jewelry or something. David is very nice and very funny and I love him.
The onsite "living museum" of BSC memorabilia to look at was a very fancy way of saying "a bunch of BSC stuff on two tables." But it was awesome stuff. Foreign language books (including one in Hebrew), fan club stuff, a jacket, a fanny pack(!), T-shirts, posters, a Mary Anne doll... and some of it came from Ann's own personal collection.
And there were themed snacks at the back of the room! Popcorn and pretzels for Kristy (baseball game-type food), ladyfingers and other teatime stuff for Mary Anne, brownies and mini chocolate bars for Claudia, and fruit and sugarless cookies for Stacey! I guess they only did the original four because they're the only members in the books that have been rereleased to date. I spilled my Pepsi on the floor, because I am just that coordinated.

^lol at his Dawn prediction!
Remind me again who David is? An editor at Scholastic? Someone who is familiar with the BSC I presume?
Those themed snacks sound so cool.

Ann has pictures from the event up on her Facebook fan page: www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/AnnMMartinAuthor?ref=nf Looks like a lot of fun! I hope she makes it up to the Pacific NW sometime!

So jealous, wanderingfrog! The themed snacks are such a fun touch. Remind me again who David is? An editor at Scholastic? Someone who is familiar with the BSC I presume? Yeah, an editor for the BSC, he started working on it at 19. Love his Dawn prediction. In the photos he is wearing an awesome black and white shirt that even Ann says she wants!

I really DO hope she'd do a World Tour to Canada! I want to meet her so badly. By the way, where's the Mary Anne doll? All I can see is the Jessi/Becca doll set.

Aww, you can see the back of chicken_queen and mizzmarvel's heads in the the photo from Ann and David's talk, but you can't see the back of my head. I was sitting on mizzmarvel's left. We were in the front row, of course!
