Be There or Be Square

Mounting tension
Excitement about to burst
So intriguing
How many can be so obsessed
With the release of a book.
August 1st, 12:00 PM Barnes and Noble
Be there or
Be square!

*crying*

I am so torn right now.

Dreamsprite, whom I actually know, is going to the Borders downtown (in Vermont, we all know that means Burlington no matter where you live).

But you guys are going to Barnes & Noble.

*still crying* I don't suppose there's any chance of you changing?

Well,

you already know her, and you might never have another chance to meet other YWPers. Just a suggestion.

You're wrong.

There are most probably MANY people going.

I'm wondering who's going to the Port Angeles opening?! It's the closest to Forks, so I bet some people are flying there to get closer to where it all started. Imagine, being less than a half-hour away from where Bella lives...

Probably...

I'm thinking only the overly-obsessed fans are flying all the way to washington.
