Blue Moon Ball: Alice's Party Pics

These party goers took the theme literally.

The blue faerie needs a cocktail.

Sara Wilson Eitenne is such a wild thing.

Quesadillas and crinolines. Yum!

To see more of my party photos, see my post on Alice's CWIM Blog.

Blue Moon Ball-Suzanne's Party Pics

So... I take lots of pictures. And last night at the Blue Moon Ball, I took like 6500. Or something. Here are three of my favorites, and for more, you can visit my blog at http://www.suzanne-young.blogspot.com/

It was a blast!

I took a short trip into space... and came back married.

I was very happy to take a moment from my... um... studying to get a picture with the wonderful Lin Oliver.

I've always had a thing for astronauts. But this is Bill Cochran-resident funny guy.

Hoep to see you all there next year!!!

Blue Moon Ball: Jolie's Party Pics

The Blue Moon Ball was OUT OF THIS WORLD!

I heart the poolside gala, hosted by Lin and Steve, each year at the LA conference. I remember my first experience when I was shocked to find out how much fun the children's book community really has when they are gathered together: the dancing, the food, the conversation, oh yeah...and the cocktails. Good times.

So, how 'bout a bit of flavor from last nights party? There were great costumes, lots of blue, great food & drink, and (most important) many happy people enjoying the evening. Like these ones...

That's me with Richard Peck (yes, even the conference celebs come to the party). I'll have more of my party pics at Cuppa Jolie soon!

Blue Moon Ball: Paula's Party Pics

Good morning! Did everyone survive last night's insanely surreal and super fun Blue Moon Ball party? In case you can't remember what happened last night (LOL), here are three photos I snapped for evidence of the merrymaking... if you want to see more photos, please check out my website for a wrap up photo gallery later today at http://paulayoo.com

Picture No. 1: Jay Asher and I (Paula Yoo) found our Mojo! We did not plan out outfits together, but I was wearing a retro '60s blue velvet dress and white gogo boots (check out more pics later at my website), so I was delighted to discover Austin Powers himself was attending the Blue Moon Ball. Yeah, baby! :)

Picture No. 2: This was the official SCBWI drink this year - a Blue Moon Frozen Daiquiri! If you weren't able to make last night's party, don't worry, I made sure to have one for you! :)

Picture No. 3: This picture is proof that YES, men DO attend the national SCBWI conference. (The statistics are something like 10,297 women and 23 men at the conference. I found two of them, picture book authors, and had to snap their picture as proof of their existence. I call them the Blue Moon Prom Dudes. LOL.)
