What would be best?

A medieval themed fair with an emphasis on cosplay

A book critic gathering and signing for fans

A drunken orgy with an Opeth cover band

A TED Talk type event about the book’s themes

A triple feature of Princess Bride, Holy Grail, and Shrek

A public reading by myself or a celebrity like Ewan McGregor

It’s decided: The Millennial King will have a medieval themed cosplay release party with book critics, book signings, book speakers, a triple feature of The Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Shrek in one room, a ball pit in another, featuring a public reading of the novella by at least one celebrity, all around a main room with a medieval metal band playing to a clothing-optional crowd at a table with every known type of alcoholic beverage. 

That last bit suggests the title since it’s like ancient the Roman celebration of Bacchanalia: It shall be called BACH-analia. Get it? Because the author of The Millennial King is named Ari Bach. And I do hereby decree that it shall be live-blogged.
