Sooooo I ended up going to the launch with worldcrabination at like 5-ish and we were the second people in line. By 9 pm the line circled around the block.

Let me just say, shoutout to 92Y for their organization of 920+ people-- I was afraid that there would be nothing but chaos and imminent disaster but they handled the lines so efficiently and were totally levelheaded and calm when bombarded by questions about what was going on.  

Anyway, Scott Westerfeld didn't come for whatever reason, so David Levithan and Joshua Lewis (wearing a "RAGNOR LIVES" t-shirt) were there instead! The first segment of the talk were all of the authors playing parts in narrating previously unreleased messages from the voicemail of Magnus Bane (after a certain event at the end of City of Lost Souls). Apparently, these voicemails were difficult to obtain and *cue running gag of the night* that's how Scott died. 

Holly Black makes a hilarious Isabelle. 

Maureen Johnson is just hilarious all around.

(Also, the voicemails will be included as an extra in the print version of The Bane Chronicles!!!)

Maureen shared an anecdote about how she once bonded with Cassie on a 20-hour train ride to Georgia (ha), over a shared fear of a random exposed working toilet in their cabin.

During the Q&A they were all joking around about revealing who dies which led to a really awkward and hilarious inside joke between the two of us that I can't explain because it's a ~*spoiler*~ but just trust me on this one.

Anyway, after the talk session we all had to pile out and make another line outside for the actual signing, it went around the block almost twice by the time we got to the end. After 15-30 minutes of waiting they said anyone who had books to be signed by the other authors could step out of the line and go straight in-- so we bypassed the entire line!! To get on another line! But it wasn't that bad and it was inside at least.

I was a total nervous wreck about giving Cassie my TMI bookmarks, but I handed them to her and started my usual incoherent rambling as she was looking at them ("Is this Ragnor?! And Catarina!" omgIwantedtodie) and I was sort of going on about how they don't really match Cassandra Jean's designs and she said "that's okay, everyone has their own idea of what they look like!" then she asked "do you like Cassandra Jean's drawings?" and I said "I do!" and she handed me a pack of Shadowhunter tarot cards (that aren't available to buy) and I just sort of gaped at her like "really!?" and she was like "yeah!" AND I WAS JUST LIKE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG as I went around to the other-other line to have my Curse Workers books signed by Holly. (I still haven't decided if I'm going to open up the pack of cards yet...) 

When Holly signed my books I talked about how much I loved the noir atmosphere and how I hadn't read anything in quite that same environment ("It was so. Much. Fun. to write!"), and also how I loved the idea of blowback and consequences that came with using curse working abilities and she just took a moment and was like "thank you! That means so much to me!" and to be perfectly honest I felt a little bad because I only read the first one BUT I WASN'T LYING SO IT'S TOTALLY OKAY RIGHT?! (Speaking of which, I have to pick up book 2 from the library this week...)

By the time we left it was 1:30 am and because of a "police investigation" on one of the stops on my line I wound up having to take a local train down to Coney Island then take my regular train back uptown to get to my actual stop (then make the regular 20 minute walk home from the station) so I didn't get home until almost 4.. BUT THAT'S OKAY because I had such a good time... ;A;
