FYA TaleGate: The ATX Mockingjay Midnight Release Party!

IMPORTANT PARTY UPDATE: If you RSVP on the FB event page, you get a champ can*!!! FOR REAL. YOU ARE SO LUCKY.

Y'all, it is HIGH TIME for us to get together in real life and celebrate our love of YA with some actual cocktails. I mean, I'm all about toasting things on Twitter and commenting it up on our site, but I want to see yr real faces, not just yr avatars! Not to mention drink some real alcohol, none of this "virtual cocktail" shizz! And what greater excuse to throw our first FYA party then the RELEASE OF MOCKINGJAY!!! HOLY HAYMITCH!

We've been feverishly discussing it in the Caf, and now we are thrilled to announce some official deets for the first in what we hope will be many, many years of FYA TaleGating (GET IT?!!).

The Deal:

First and foremost, if you actually want to get your copy at midnight, you MUST buy it ahead of time from Bookpeople. You can pre-purchase it in person, over the phone or online. Go here for more info. I repeat, YOU CANNOT BUY A BOOK AT MIDNIGHT. If you even try, you'll get taken down faster than a District 10 tribute during the first minute of the games.

Now that we got that serious business out of the way, here's what you can expect:

•  FYA Hunger Games, featuring a cornucopia of Nerf weapons!

•  Cupcake Decorating, a blend of Peeta's favorite things!

•  Spazzing Out with yr fave FYAers!

•  Swilling Cocktails (BYOB, y'all. No glass!)

•  Something Else Amazing we'll probably think of at the last minute so it will a surprise! YAY!

So if you live anywhere near** Austin, RSVP on our new Facebook page (HELLO FREE CAN OF CHAMPERS) and prepare yr pants for some serious talegating action!

P.S. Hey August 23, GET YR ASS OVER HERE.

*You gotta be 21 or over to get the champ can. OBVS. Y'all we may be fabulous but we're not above the law (yet).

**Near = 1,000 mile radius, obvs. Cos it will be THAT awesome.

Shameless Self-Promotion!
