Down Under Tour 2012

Righto, I can finally reveal the details for the A/NZ Down Under Tour. Most of the days will be taken up visiting schools, so I'm only listing the public events which will occur in the evenings and at the weekends.

For the public signings, all you have to do is turn up and I'll sign as much as possible in the time I have- but for the public events, it might be a good idea to contact the bookshop/library/whatever as soon as possible, in order to book a place.

The Ireland and UK details will be posted when I have them.

Oh, and for those of you who entered the little short story competition on the Skulduggery website, I've just read through the finalists (30 of them) and the winners will be announced before the weekend. Some truly great work in there...

What, skating?

I don't know, it's like...

I really don't know. I'm a very clumsy person, but when I skate, I have the best time.

It's like I belong on the ice.

Noelle said...

I can see the signs now *raises hands dramatically*
Sparky Braginski: Queen of Ice

@Kallie- haha it's cool. Everything is computer generated when this comes out in the cinemas.

Sparky Braginski said...

...Coke?

*sips it*

I got up at 3:45 yesterday morning for this comp, and I went to sleep at 11:35.

And the best bit is-

I only skated for nine minutes in total yesterday.

Sparky Braginski said...

Queen of ice?

Bullsh*t.

I came third. don't get too carried away.

Noelle said...

Dude. That bites... But it would be worth it, right????

Noelle said...

haha. Anyone who's better than me is a Queen/King of Ice.

And besides, I have a lot of faith in people. I'm pretty sure you could do it

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello! People are setting off fireworks right next door and I keep flinching. I am so very glad you all can't actually see me.

Sparky Braginski said...

So worth it.

I'm going to take a pick of the trophy.

It's a lovely trophy.

And it's MIIIIIIINE.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Sparky!!! You won a trophy? LUCKY! I wish I could ice skate! All I ever do is fall over on the ice... I'm sure you could have guessed that.

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes, I could.

Who knows...

I may post a link to a video of me skating.

Maybe.

Noelle said...

Woo!!!!!!!
okay, wbd... I've got to catch up on my writing... :D

Still here, though

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

My dog is spazzing out in my room because the fireworks scare her... Wait, since when does she think she's allowed in here?!

*looks around*

Dammit, she's hiding in here now...

Noelle said...

Our fireworks stopped about an hour ago...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sparky, I wanna see a video of you skating! I think it's so cool to watch other people skate. It makes me wish I could skate so badly...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Kal! I am having fun... Well, at least when my brother isn't in the room I am... :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hahaha Kal XD That's awesome.



And Sparky, if you do, pleeeeeeeeeeease send me a link :)

Star Inkbright said...

Poor you. At least you got 3rd though.

Sparky Braginski said...

Out of nine.

I'm so happy about it.

Star Inkbright said...

DAMMIT! Double comment.

. . . Do you think my hair will dry quicker with my dressing gown on top of it or without my dressing gown on top of it?

Although they might not be called dressong gowns in Australia. They almost certsinly won't be in America.

Sparky Braginski said...

They can be called that here.

On, probably...

I'm not sure.

Star Inkbright said...

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY. YOU GOT 66.666666 . . . PERCENT.

Sparky Braginski said...

...

I am...

Star Inkbright said...

Ah, I'll leave it off. I'm taking courage from the fact that ut has dried a tiny bit in half an hour with it off. I mean, a tiny bit is still something, isn't it?

Sparky Braginski said...

Yeah, I s'pose.

Star Inkbright said...

Star Inkbright said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello Ink.

Star Inkbright said...

Hello Sparky.

Sparky Braginski said...

When I was gone I got so used to not being called Sparky.

When I came back it was startling.

How are you Ink? Other than inky, of course.

Star Inkbright said...

Er . . . Annoyed at myseld. Coz I just discovered that my hair DOES dry quicker with the dressing gown on top of it.

Sparky Braginski said...

Told you.

Star Inkbright said...

You did. And I should have listened. It's dried more in fifteen minutes with the dressing gown on top of it then it has in an hour with the dressing gown off.

Star Inkbright said...

*gives Sparky a banana as a prize*

Sparky Braginski said...

*gives the banana back*

Star Inkbright said...

*gasps* EVE WILL BE OFFENDED.

Spiderman... My favourite superhero of all time. Toby or Andrew, they're both awesome.

Although I was a TEENSEY WEENSEY bit disappointed when I found out the new Spidey couldn't fling webs from his wrists. But the little gadgets are cool.
