HAPPY BIRTHDAY COURTNEY!



YOU'RE INVITED TO COURTNEY'S BIRTHDAY BASH! 7pm Wednesday, July 11

My good freind and most excellent CP, Courtney Milan, also known as CM, is having a birthday! Wednesday, July 11th. For those of you who will be in Dallas: Tessa Dare, Sara Lindsey, and Moi, India Carolina will host a get together for the wonderful Ms. Courtney Milan. Location: Tessa and India's room. Time: 7 pm on Wednesday. So please join us. You can just go to the hotel desk at the Hyatt and ask to call our room. We'll give you the number on the phone. Oh, be sure to use Tessa's real name for this step.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! It seems Ms. Milan is a Harry Potter fan. After the get together in the room, we will head off to the Lowes Theater in City Market Place to catch the 9:45 pm showing of the new Harry Potter flick. If you'd like to join us, we recommend purchasing tickets on line, in advance since they will likely sell out early.

And hey, want to know what Courtney's going to be doing at the RWA Literacy Signing?

Would love to celebrate with you guys!! When is the literary signing over?

Gillian said...

OMG--I am SO jealous! I'll be at the Beau Monde awards, waiting on pins and needles to hear if Pam won the R.A. in the Traditional category, but I'll be thinking of you all. We adore Harry at our house; my daughter and I even dabble in H.P. fanfic, since WE know Snape is the true hero of the story....:)

Oh, India, I finally broke down and "blogged". It's at
http://gillianlayne.blogspot.com/
so come say Hi when you can.

Any sign of a Fanlit get together, or are we to plan this on our own? I would love to put some faces with some names.

Cynthia Falcon said...

Oh man. I've got the Beau Monde Soiree at 8pm. Maybe I could stop in before I go. I can't back out now. I've got the gown almost done. Just needs hemming and a bow to add. Oh i still need to make my reticule.

Lenora Bell said...

Oh, oh, oh. Soooo jealous!!

Keira Soleore said...

India: One more event I won't be able to attend with you. Sigh! I'll be at the Avon thing first, then the Beau Monde thing.

You guys are going to have such a bash. I hope you plan on taking lots of pictures, because we do want to know more about the elusive CM.

India Carolina said...

Lacey, hope that means you can attend!

Lenora, we all wish you were going to Dallas too! You will be missed.

Beverly, the literacy signing is over at 7:30. However, I'm going to talk with the guest of honor. I'm hoping we can drag her back to the room by 7pm in order to let those who are going to the 8pm soiree wish her a happy birthday.

I'll get back to you guys on that. Gillian be sure and give my best wishes to Pam. I'll have my fingers crossed. And BTW, love your blog. Everyone check out Gillian's new digs! http://gillianlayne.blogspot.com
Hopefully, you can stop in before the soiree begins. We'll have sandwiches. You gotta eat.

Cindy and Keira if you get a chance just stop by and say hi! OMG Cindy, you sew too????? You are awesome!

Terry Stone said...

That sounds like so much fun! I wish I was going to the conference! I am definietly joining the RWA, it sounds like so much fun.

Everyone have fun, and wish CM a big happy birthday from me.

Gillian said...

You know , I was thinking "wow, how convenient!" when I first learned that the Beau Monde conference was tacked on to Nationals, but now it's just like "too much to do, and not enough time!" Cindy, I'm so impressed with everyone who is sewing "period dress" for the Soiree; I'll be wearing basic black and eying you all with admiration.

I'll tell Pam for you. I'm so excited for her it makes me lightheaded.

Lynne Simpson said...

Cynthia, I do hope you'll post a picture of yourself in your outfit! I've always admired people who went all out for the Beau Monde party. Too cool!

The HP birthday bash sounds fabulous. Hope y'all have a grand time!

Alice Audrey said...

I am so jealous! You guys are going to have so much fun.

Ashley said...

Wow, I just found your site from Alice over on Fanlit Forever. Seems I've been missing a lot of my Avon friends, and here they are on your blog! It's me Ashbongo10- I believe we hung out on the forums together a few times. I'll have to keep a check in and see how you're doing. Good to see you again! Y'all have fun @ nationals. I'll be at home in Texas for a visit then, but won't get in until Saturday, so if anyone's hanging around, would love to meet!
Ashley

Christina said...

How cool is all this. I will have to wish CM happy birthday, mine was yesterday.

I am with Alice, I am so jealous, wish I could meet you all. Have a great time.

Christina

Chris said...

I'm supposed to meet up with Anastasia, Cindy, Bev, and Gladys (hope I didn't leave someone out) after the signing in the atrium for a drink before Cindy heads off to the BM soiree to cheer Pam on. We'll definitely come say hello, but my son would KILL me if I saw HP without him. :-)

India Carolina said...

Terry, Lynne, Alice, Christina, we will miss you! I'm so sad you won't be there.

Chris, I've confirmed with my cohorts that we can be back and start this shin-dig by 7pm. So hopefully we'll get to see Cindy along with the rest of you.

Ashley, wow that's a shame you don't get in until Saturday. I'm sure there will be lots going on at the Hyatt. If you think you might make it downtown you should definitely call. You can email me (iindiacarolina@gmail.com) and we'll exchange cells.

Cynthia Falcon said...

Oh golly, no... I don't know how to sew on a large scale. My aunt does. I was planning on having her teach me. But since I needed this gown quickly and my new 10 hr a day work schedule, it wasn't feasible. Maybe when I do the next gown. I do know how to sew little things, like pillows and such, but that's about it

doglady said...

Sounds like a wonderful party, India. Wish I could be there with you! I will be sitting at home in LA (Lower Alabama) anxiously awaiting a phone call from Beth and Erin. Someone toast CM for me and have a piece of cake in my name! I'll probably gain weight from that too! Safe trip, everyone

Ericka Scott said...

Y'all have a good time, you hear?

India Carolina said...

Cindy, Ericka, Doglady,
Thanks. Fingers and eyes crossed for you, Doglady!

ERiCA said...

Great to meet you and the whole crew! I had a super fun conference!! =)
