There was a literary cocktail with Garth Nix last week (1 March 2012), technically he was here in Singapore for a few school visits, a free event at The Arts House on Wednesday for a promo of his new book A Confusion of Princes and well, this one!
It was supposed to be at the Blue Room but it was held at the Earshot Cafe.
It’s cozier there.
Greetings to those who’ve come via the io9 article on our book! Just a short post here but you can get the book from Two Trees along with our other two books (Bubble G.U.M and Happiness at the End of the World).
If you want to know more about the process, I’ve got an interview about it via Silver Goggles too. So here’s just a little post before I write up a lengthier thing on how we did it and why! FYI, I’m one of the editors of this anthology if you haven’t guessed by now.
HELLO EVERYONE! It’s February and it’s back to the usual Monday weekly posts! HO HO HO. Even though it was quiet here, we’ve I’ve been up to a lot of things and events.
We’ve been doing lomography and stuff since the new store opened at Chinatown area and held some workshops.
Upcoming posts.
It’ll be posted in due time. There’s a lot and I don’t want to put it all at the same time!
I managed to attend the McDonald’s Monopoly Grand Draw thanks to omy.sg! I was there as a blogger and really I wanted to know who the winners are and how it was going to be conducted. Plus, it was the first time someone won the grand prize!
It was held at Clarke Quay and the fountain square was decked like a Monopoly game board. The crowd there were already winners since they had registered their chance card so it meant that they’ve won at least something.
They just didn’t know what something that they’d win.
In any case, McD’s had good served around like nuggets and such with a large fridge stocked with Fanta sodas for anyone to grab a can from.

The Little Happy Shop is a little shop of happiness at Holland Village Shopping Mall. With the new station open, it was easy to get there. Well, relatively easy cause it was raining like heck when we were there.
THE CAST LIST:
Plus me of course. We were going to attend a rubber stamp making workshop! This is apparently a super popular workshop since the slots get filled fast since it is freaking fun and that really, it’s called The Little Happy Shop, it isn’t that big.

Yes! Spread the word on our Nanowrimo Thank Goodness It’s Over party and our steampunk book launch! Come along if you’re interested in Nanowrimo (even though it’s ended by then) or if you’ve tried to do it an either succeeded/failed/gone meh and will try another time. You can bring your friends too in case you feel alone but from the previous parties, pretty much everyone become pals with each other very quickly.
On our steampunk anthology book launch, it is titled The Steampowered Globe and available for just $15 at the event!
It’s usually $18++ at Kino and other stores cause they’ll add in GST. Anyway, the first anthology of steampunk short stories by Two Trees and I could probably guess, the first in Singapore too since I have never seen another one like this before.
Bring even more friends and support this book by buying it cause the bulk of the writers are Nanowrimo-ers too!

No, They Dream Of Mechanical Hearts by Claire Cheong

So yes, anyone is free to come. If you know people who like writing or reading, double plus if they like steampunk, they should come. ALSO, the dresscode will be steampunk. Or at least, that is encouraged.
You can wear whatever you want, usually when visiting a library if you don’t have any steampunk attire but really, when else besides conventions can you wear it?
