Overseas Release Parties! Heads Up UK and Australia

Good news for those of you living in the UK! Borders has decided to go with midnight release parties in many of their UK stores. Kudos to Borders for stepping up in the international market as well!  Here’s part of an email received by Cullenist that talks some details.

"Thanks for your reply.  We will definitely be going ahead with some events and activities surrounding the release of Breaking Dawn on the afternoon and evening of Saturday 2nd August (the book is released here then too, not the 4th as was previously reported).
 
A fancy dress competition and a quiz sound like great ideas, we will definitely try and incorporate them into the day…I have been thinking about holding a party in store in the evening …
 
By the way, you may want to let you friends know that ALL Borders stores, such as the Birmingham one, around the country will be holding some activities on Saturday 2nd to celebrate the release.  However, you should also tell them that Oxford Street’s party is going to be much bigger and better than the others!!"

Now for those of you who live in Australia, things are starting to shape up, but they need a little help from you, the fans.  Here’s the scoop the long-time Lexiconer Alexa Stone:

"Sydney’s Kinokuniya bookstore is interested in organising a major event for the release of Breaking Dawn; they would like to have a prom like the USA did last year, but the thing is they can’t do anything if they do not have the numbers (which must stand somewhere between 200-300 people).

We have been trying to get people to let us know how interested they would be, but we are having some major trouble getting people as any place we are posting at doesn’t anywhere near get the kind of visitors the Lexicon gets in one day alone. We would very much like to have this event, which will not be going ahead if we do not get the numbers."

So, if you want to get that party rolling contact Alexa here!
