Thank you for breaking the hearts and minds of all the people who weren't able to go...

We're talking "two chapters posted this Tuesday and two chapters posted a week from Tuesday."  This is FOUR MONTHS earlier than I was planning to post sample chapters.  Cheer up, emo kid. :D

Dresdenverse Drinks

THE FAMILIAR

Harry Dresden (Rum and Coke) $7.50
Snarky air spirits being particularly irritating?  Turn to Harry’s favorite drink, but with a kick!
Karrin Murphy (Irish Car Bomb) $9
When you combine a tiny but fierce hit of Irish whiskey and Irish cream in a stout ale, you’ll know why we named this ass-kicking drink after Murphy.
Toe-Moss (Long Island Iced Tea) $10
Just like Harry’s succubus half-brother, this tasty classic will leave you wanting more… and more… and make you love every minute of it.
Molly Carpenter (Grasshopper) $8
This chocolaty, minty drink is vibrant, appealing, a little bit wild, and best of all: green!
Gentleman Johnnie Marcone (Whiskey Sour) $7.50
Refined, strong, and always smooth, this drink is the perfect match for Chicago’s Godfather.
Sanya (Black Russian) $8
Needs no explanation!
Blue Beetle (Lemon Drop)  $6
This trusty, sweet and sour favorite kicks ass in a four-cylinder kind of way.

THE ARCANE

Mordite (shot) $6
This combination of grenadine and Captain Morgan’s Tattoo Rum is just like the deadly dark substance that kills with a touch. Imbibe at your own risk!
Fuego! (drink) $7.50
Handle with care!  This fruity drink of Blackberry Liqueur and OJ looks like Harry’s fire.
Three-Eye (drink) $8.50
This ghoulish-looking brew of Watermelon Vodka, Blue Caracao, and Red Bull will have you seeing visions of the other side… or are they real?
Titania (cocktail) $7.50
When the salted rim of this refreshing drink of Vodka, Melon Liqueur, and lime hits your lips, you’ll feel the presence of the Summer Queen.
Mab (frozen drink) $8.50
Ice cold.  Sharp.  Cruel.  Mysterious.  Exciting.  This drink will have you begging for mercy from the Winter Queen.
Swords of the Cross (three shots): $15
When all three swords are in town, Denarians beware!

THE NON-ALCOHOLIC

Ivy (Shirley Temple) $2.50
A classic kids’ drink, perfect for the repository of all human knowledge that needs to be home by bedtime.
Toot-toot (Red Bull) $4.00
It gives you wings!  Crazy, energetic, tiny fairy wings!
Ramirez (Cherry Coke)  $2.50
Lara Raith herself certifies that this drink is non-alcoholic.  At least, that’s what I think she meant.


The majority of these drinks were conceived of by Matt, our own Esperacchius and winner of the Butcherverse cosplay contest!  Thank you, Matt!

I kept one, I'll take a pic and post it after I get a new memory card for my camera this evening—the one I had got smashed in transit to Virginia.

Yikes!  You didn't lose the photos from the con, did you?

Nope, I finished backing it up about five minutes before it happened.  Talk about lucky.

PHEW.  That photo of Shecky and PG is a national treasure.  I would have to proclaim a Butcherverse Day of Mourning if it had been destroyed.  Also Gilly rolling her eyes at Matt's overtures. :D

Yes, yes.  That reminds me.  I need to start uploading—because at 2.5+ MB a pop, the number of pics I have will coupled with my interwebs will take a while.

Can you post them to flickr or picasa or photobucket or similar, so all can see?

What I'm hoping for is a vid shot of the Pre-Squeee Quiver that Prisc did as her sentence was pronounced and the hood came off.  Total stillness to Absolute Squee in .3 seconds.  Impressive.

I have quite a few more that I'll be posting to Photobucket as soon as I finish sorting, but here's a teaser:

YES. I would pay real money to find that that look was captured for posterity and the good of all mankind.

Not bad for a Colonial Heathen.  My compliments, sir.

I'm getting my pics labeled and will be linking soon.  And I got an awesome reaction shot just after the hood came off.  ;D

I'm so embarrassed that I had been talking to you two off and on all day and NOT requested the necessary info for putting two and two together! *more hugs*

It went was confusion, shock, and squee in one convulsive moment. :D

I had an awesome time, and really enjoyed meeting everyone on the boards, especially PaynesGray, Elise, and Noey. Myrrdn, I'm adopting you. You'll be practicing the piano by day and lightsaber by night. Oh, and while I was at the dinner I met some goof named Jim, I think he might make it in the urban fantasy business one day...

I went to NYCC this year. I enjoyed it but they had way too many people there. I did get to meet Jim and Anne at the first signing. They really under estimated the amount of fans that would show up for him. I had him sign my nook cover and my wife had him sign her nook. We REALLY wanted to go to the dinner but we came to see the LOTR movie, which I highly recommend.

I've been lurking on these boards for a long time and decided to start speaking up.

Priscellie, I really wanted a chance to buy one of your maps, any chance they will be for sale at another event or anywhere else?
