I’ve blogged before about my stand-up shtick, but here’s a recap of my recent DEADLY CAMPAIGN launch party, in pictures:
Me and my larger-than-life book
Me trying to lead the group in Simon Says
Bookmarks for all!
At least someone thinks my stuff is funny
Standing room only - I guess they heard about the free cake!
And speaking of the cake, it was the funniest thing of the afternoon!
(Look closely…)

What's a little "n" "g" among friends? Looks like a super book launch. Congratulations!
Too funny! Glad it didn't raing at your booksigning thaing!
Now if someone could just invent Spellcheck for bakers!
Eh, well at least they spelled your name right!
Looks like an awesome turnout. Lucky folks!
Congratulations on the launch. Sure you didn't have them misspell the name on the cake for laugh value? :)
Shannon - Thanks! When I saw the cake, the first thing I did was check my book covers to make sure MI had it right!
Vicki - Hmm. Do you moonlight at Costco bakery?
Lois - Either that, or Costco Bakery should hire a copyeditor.
Jennifer - Yeah, and the cake tasted pretty good, too. So I guess I shouldn't be too picky...
Sue Ann - You know, I thought some people might think that, so in the photo (if you look carefully), I included the original order form where "campaign" is spelled the traditional g-before-n way!
In Spanish, campa means "it stands out," so maybe it was a secret blessing from the Costco baker that your book would be campa-ing.
Congrats on the big launch!
Alan - Thanks for sharing this. And congratulations, too! Deadly Campagin/Campaing/Oh, whatever!! is really a terrific book and I'm so glad it's launched well. I know I enjoyed reading it very much.
Congrats on the release--and the SRO crowd! In another writers' group I belonged to, we had a big event and reception and the note to the baker included the instruction "(all caps)" And yes, "(all caps)" was carefully piped onto the cake.
At least with your topic you could work it to your advantage!
Big congrats, Alan!
Keith
P.S. So where did you go camping?
Robin - Thanks! I was never very good in languages. I have enough trouble with English!
Margot - Thanks! Or thakns!
Kathleen - Thanks! ALL CAPS, now that is *really* funny!
Keith - Thanks! Campaing isn't my thign.
Congrast Alna! It's easy once you get the hang of it!
Hey, nice start to your marketing campaing :-) Fun blog, Alan!
