Sh! recaps

Me being me, my last day is super hectic, but I've had a brilliant time and definitely want to come back for all the places/people I've missed seeing. I spent last night in bed with lovely supermarket foodstuffs watching and being inspired by Working Girl and reading a book I'm writing about after so much running around and didn't feel guilty about not being out and about in the least. I could use less guilt, more me. Trying trying trying...2011 is all about overhauling my life, or if it's not, it should be. Reluctant to go home just yet but hoping I'll be back while I still somewhat know my way around London a bit more, having taken the Tube lots, plus the overground and the train out to Hitchin.

Thanks to everyone who showed up at Sh! and made the evening so wonderful and did recaps! Who needs MSM anyway? (I say jokingly, but of course, cause I'm a media whore and always will be. But in this case, I was so moved by the people who came out and what they said about my work. When I visited England in 2002 for my friend's wedding, I never ever could've predicted books with my name on the spine would be on shelves. Next stop, Waterstone's, who are big on YA. A girl can has to dream.)

London readings July 2 and 4

I'll have lineups and addresses soon, but for now, I can tell you that I'm going to London (UK) and doing my very first readings every there! I'm so looking forward to it, and as a fan of Sh! and Coffee, Cake and Kink (which has since closed their previous venue but we are cooking up something fabulous), having visited both places on my last visit there in, I think, 2007, I'm extra excited. And of course there will be cupcakes! The readings will be:

Sat 2nd July at Sh!

&

Mon 4th July at Coffee, Cake and Kink (venue tba)

And look, Sh! is excited too!

London calling!

I’ll have details soon, I’m finalizing venues and authors, but it looks like I’ll be doing my first London (UK) readings the weekend of July 4th, probably July 2nd and 4th. Very excited! Much is going on, so if you want the whole scoop in one place, sign up for my newsletter on the left-hand side of rachelkramerbussel.com (I will also post and tweet the link to see the newsletter online). It's monthly.

Hello Kitty Johnny Cupcakes limited edition t-shirt coming in December

This is what you miss if you don't read Cupcakes Take the Cake daily (or add us to your RSS feed). You can also like us on Facebook. And obviously, if you're in Seattle or New York, don't miss our December 7th bicoastal 6-year anniversary parties!

I am a major Hello Kitty and Sanrio fan, and right now they are doing a popup tour (I saw a very cute limited edition Hello Kitty iPhone case at CupcakeCamp LA!). I’m getting to the cupcake connection, I promise…

Johnny Cupcakes, who is in the process of opening up his London (UK) store in 2011, will be launching a limited edition Hello Kitty t-shirt next month, an item that is shooting straight to the top of my holiday wishlist! How fun. Stay tuned to johnnycupcakes.com and his blog (scroll down for photos from Sanrio's 50th anniversary), as well as Twitter and Facebook (where over 70,000 people are fans!), for ordering information. via Nitrolicious
