UPDATE at noon: I just talked to TokyoPop, and confirmed that we won’t be coming to Huntington Beach tonight. I’m real sorry for the three people who were going to come out to visit, but I’ll get in touch with a store down there (anyone have a suggestion for an indie shop in OC?) to schedule something in the near future.
Our final stop on the Star Trek Manga promotional tour is tonight in Huntington Beach, as part of a teen literacy event at Barnes & Noble.
Christine Boylan, who wrote the cover story, and I will be there to sign books and hang out, and if you have copies of my books that you want to bring with you, I’m happy to sign them. I’m bringing my DS for Mariokarting, as well.
Details from the B&N Storefinder:
Bella Terra
7881 Edinger Ave. #110
Huntington Beach, CA 92647
714-897-8781
We’ll be there from 7-9.
UPDATED at 10a.m.: I’ve just gotten word from TokyoPop that our
participation in this event may be canceled. Check this post during the
day, or follow me on Twitter for more news when I get it.

Still teasing those of us who can’t be there in person… no fair…
Sweet! It’s at a time and place I can make!
That’s unfortunate. I’m kinda glad now that I drove out from Irvine to see you in Pasadena 🙂
I’ve been reading your old blog posts and I’m still getting caught up (I’m up to 2004 and it has been great reading). So I didn’t know you were coming out to HB until I went to B&N last night and saw the posters and your books on display. I’m sorry it was cancelled and look foward to your next visit!
Aw, man. I feel like I jinxed it.
As far as independent bookstores in OC, there’s the Japanese bookstore, Kinokuniya, on Harbor, in Costa Mesa, which seems perfect for a manga book signing: http://www.kinokuniya.com
There’s also Compass Books in Downtown Disney: http://www.booksinc.net/NASApp/store/IndexJsp?page=275561&s=storeinfo&
Laguna Beach has a couple of independent bookstores. Laguna Beach books might not be quite the right audience, but what the hell: http://www.lagunabeachbooks.com — though of the two, I’d try Latitude 33 first: http://latitude33.booksense.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp
And then there’s Comic Toons & Toys, in Tustin: http://tinyurl.com/343o78 (no website, sadly)
Hope that helps, some.
Comics Unlimited is in the Pavilions Shopping Center, basically across Beach Blvd. from the B&N at Bella Terra you were going to be at tonight. They may be worth a call. Their address and phone number are on the web site: http://www.comicsunlimited.com/ I don’t know much about this shop but they have been around a while.
Bummer..
I am glad I checked in here before heading out. Had my DS all charged too.
Oh well, I will have to come up and see you when yo do the HDOOL tour.
There’s also Anime Nuts in Anaheim, near the intersection of Magnolia and LaPalma.
