The Teen Author Festival was awesome!  The big signing at Books of Wonder was tremendous fun, and I'm so pleased so many of you came out to see us. I had a blast -- though I also felt nervous. It was my first event in a long time. 

Here are some photos of Tiger Beat, the all YA author band that played at Books of Wonder. 

Libba Bray on vocals, Barnaby Miller on drums (where is the dude's website? can't find), Dan Ehrenhaft on guitar, Natalie Standiford on base.  David Levithan and Rachel Cohn were the opening act, reading bits of their work that had to do with music. And sometimes reading in German -- which neither of them speak.

Libba can really sing. (That's her on the right in the picture at left), Rachel next to her) She wore a hotsy leather jacket and red converse. They started of with Superstition, and the set included I Want Candy and Dear Prudence. We demanded an encore, but they said they didn't know any more songs. 

Natalie looks like a rock star. And plays like one too.
