May The Fourth Be Book Fair Day

Some of you may remember when I participated in Shahala Middle School's READCON book fair a couple of years ago. Some of you may also remember when Joel, Felicity, Fireflower and I celebrated Star Wars Day last year. Well, this year the two events have merged into one, forming a single awesome hybrid experience!

That's right, this year READCON will take place on Friday, May the 4th - that's tomorrow! It'll be from 5:30pm-8pm (30 minutes longer this time!) and it is FREE to attend. There will be all kinds of cool stuff, like:

- Activities, crafts, games, prizes
- Costume & trivia contests
- Real life-size working Star Wars droids!
- Photo ops with Star Wars characters
- Book and poster sales
- Collectibles and displays
- Some author guy named Brian Tashima

As I said, it's free to attend, but donations will be accepted to support both the Shahala Middle School library as well as Autism Empowerment. And if you eat at the neighboring Firehouse Subs between 5 and 8:30pm and/or the nearby Menchie's Frozen Yogurt (do both, you know you want to) between 5:30 and 10pm, just tell them you're there for Shahala Middle School and each establishment will make an additional donation to the school and to Autism Empowerment.
