CRACKED Launch Party

Saturday night I got to celebrate the release of CRACKED by my friend K.M. Walton at her launch party and WOW was that a launch party.

The bookstore had to give out numbers for the book signing line and just to give you a small idea of how epic the night was, I was number 101!

And because these events are best shown with pictures and some possibly awkward (ok TOTALLY awkward) vlogs, I'll be showing you the CRACKED Launch Party in picture and video.
Waiting in line with my bff since 2nd grade, Atiya and Joanne, the awesome indie bookseller!

The CRACKED cake, so cool, it had a 3D cup with candy pills.


Many of the usual suspects: Lillie, Kelly, Christine, Ilene, Donna and Jenna.

K.M. Walton signing like a champ!

The insane crowd!

Donna Gambale, The Woman Of The Hour, Me, Sara DeSabato

Donna Gambale with CRACKED and her raffle prize!
Following the launch party many of us headed over to The Social Lounge for a little after party. But before that all happened, I shot a lot of videos. Some were (ahem) shot sideways and anyone familiar with me or my blog will know that I cannot edit these things, so...I'll spare you the sidewayisms, and leave you with the upright ones.

Enjoy!

Video 1: Pretending I'm the host of a red carpet show interviewing guests. But the question of the night wasn't "What are you wearing" but rather, "What are you READING?" And yes, the Bar Guide is my microphone.



Video 2: A totally normal moment that just happens to include me filming Amy Garvey (COLD KISS) who is also filming me while Kelly Lyman and Christine Danek film me and each other...

Video 3: Clean up on aisle Camping, Canoeing and Other Outdoor Books You'll Enjoy...

I hope you enjoyed our shenanigans. See how much fun these launch parties are? Especially when they happen near Philly?

K.M. Walton, you ROCKED the house! So proud of you.

How was everyone else's weekend?

  8. So YOU'RE the ones who spilled that, um, water...

    Hilarious stuff, Frankie. I wondered where you guys were when Ann Marie and I were calling winners of door prizes, and signing line numbers, etc. and I was rapidly losing my voice.

    And just FYI, my other co-worker Cindy made that gorgeous cake. She has her own business. If anyone wants to get in touch with her, let me know.
