Check out the lovely trailer Kim McDougall of Blazing Trailers made of my Christmas picture book, The Magic Violin. Make sure your volume is up so you can hear the second movement of Vivaldi's "Winter".
The Magic Violin is available on Amazon, B&N, the Publisher, and your local bookstore.

We've established time and date. All we need now is a place. A location near the Javits and the Copacabana. Now due to the fact that the Javits is situated in a part of the city I enter only when the lure of attending a building made entirely out of the lenses of sunglasses cannot be resisted any longer, I don't know of any cool restaurants or bars. I thought that maybe the Javits Center might offer a list of nice local bars. Not so much.
Other places look more promising. There's Zanzibar (you might want to turn down the volume on this one). It looks nice but probably will be loud. They've their own DJ, after all. If you've any other suggestions of good places in the area, do let me know. I'll do a thorough check for any and possibilities this week.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go dance to the Copacabana website's music.

Cheers!

Piece by piece we're putting this thing together. I received word recently that the mysterious ABC dinner (no idea) is occurring on Friday, June 1st at 7:30. The following suggestion was then sent to me:
. . . I was wondering about trying to find a place near the Javits and the Copacabana (does Desi's ghost play there?:) where the ABC dinner is and then making it for 5 (right after the exhibits close for the day). Then those going to the ABC dinner could drop by (as the silent auction and reception is 5:00-7:15 and then dinner itself begins at 7:30) and it might work better for others not going to the dinner (but perhaps most do, I have no clue), but are not staying in the area or not night owls (admittedly, like me:).Sounds good to me. That would give those people inclined to attend the dinner a chance to mingle beforehand. Those who were not going could either continue to hang out or simply fade into the mist. As it were.
We've established time and date. All we need now is a place. A location near the Javits and the Copacabana. Now due to the fact that the Javits is situated in a part of the city I enter only when the lure of attending a building made entirely out of the lenses of sunglasses cannot be resisted any longer, I don't know of any cool restaurants or bars. I thought that maybe the Javits Center might offer a list of nice local bars. Not so much.
Other places look more promising. There's Zanzibar (you might want to turn down the volume on this one). It looks nice but probably will be loud. They've their own DJ, after all. If you've any other suggestions of good places in the area, do let me know. I'll do a thorough check for any and possibilities this week.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go dance to the Copacabana website's music.

Mayra, K.C. & Kim,
This is absolutely AMAZING! They just keep getting better and better. I thought the first trailers Kim created could win awards, but this one is my favorite so far.
THUNDEROUS applause here in Iowa for y'all.
Cheers,
Dixie
Very nice trailer Kim and Mayra. You both have a winner here.
Joy aka Zebee, or is it the other way around?
Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind words!
