Annnnnnd, I'm back!  Last Friday I was beset by power outage issues, but today I'm here to bring you another little taste of SiglerFest 2011! 

Junkie Icepick, known outside these parts at Bruce Press, is a terrific, graceful photographer.  If you've been to Balticon or Dragon*Con, you've seen Bruce with his swank camera, taking killer shots.  

If you were at SiglerFest, you met the whole "Pick" clan (including Julie, or "Wifepick" who turned in a star-making performance as Betty Lou Hunterson in our live reading; and Bruce's son Ben, who worked with me all day at SiglerFest, dressed like Dr. Who. Yeah, you read that right.  Ben & the FDØ were in cahoots to surpirse me, and it was the best thing evah. EVAH!)

Anyway, Bruce has "team photos" of the Krakens jerseys at SiglerFest up on his site and available for purchase.  They're beautiful prints at a great price.  I'd encourage you to have a look around his whole site, as you'll see familiar faces from Dragon*Con and tons of other conventions throughout the year.  Click on the photo to see more of his great work!

THE IONATH KRAKENS, SIGLERFEST EDITION:

We were going to run some photos of Dragon*Con for the FridayFix™, but ARealGirl is beset by the plague of non-power. Electrical seems to be out for most of San Diego. So instead, let us officially announce that THE ALL-PRO eBook and unabridged audiobooks are ready for you!

And remember, in the Land of No Spoilers, you can also grab the eBook or audiobook of THE STARTER, finish it up, then move on to Book III in the series. Click here to get your copy of THE STARTER.

Quentin's first trip to a Sklorno world lets him see a new level of overpopulation, and his first direct experience with the "Church of Quentin Barnes." The Krakens face the Alimum armada in a critical match-up (check out the Armada's logo at right). Ionath is on the relegation bubble, and badly needs this win.

As the Krakens head into the Week Eight game against the Alimum Armada, the Godling Barnes and his Krakens arrive on Chachanna, with a flurry of Sklorno teammates who are overwhelmed by his very presence and honored by his holy passes … and a pickle of a player in the backfield in Ju Tweedy.

As if you weren't excited enough already … now you have a chance to join us!

That's right Junkies, this year we're changing things up a bit. We'll be shipping out of a new space: move over Warehouse of Døøm, hello San Diego Hall of Champions!  That's right, we're finally moving on up to where we belong.   

Since we'll have more room this year, we though we should cash in on some of those "hey, if you guys ever need any help" IOUs we've received over the years.  Give you guys a chance to see the high glamour that comes with signing, packaging and shipping 1500 books in four days!

HERE'S THE DEAL:
When: Friday, August 26th and Saturday, August 27th; at least a four hour commitment is requested.
Where: San Diego, CA.  (Anyone is welcome to inquire, as long as you know you have to get yerself to San Diego.)
What we'll provide:

• Tons of packaging and shipping of THE ALL-PRO. (woo hoo!)
• Lunch or dinner during any shift you work.
• Snacks and drinks throughout the day.
• Priceless chance to see Scott delirious after signing 2000 books.
• A "free" copy of THE ALL-PRO … which you will work your tail off for, believe me.

That's it! We can't provide transportation or accommodations. But, if we get the right help, and get done early, we'll have some kind of wrap party on Sunday. If you are interested in joining us please email the Director of Døøm at ak@scottsigler.com.
