Vampire Baseball - New Orleans, LA

We had such a great time in New Orleans at the FanTrips Vampire Baseball Charity Game, the Sinners vs the Saints. We got to talk to Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette from True Blood) about the books vs. the HBO Series and why in the heck they didn't have a Bubba on the show. Nelsan said there would be no Bubba, because "that would be cheesy." Jess and I both think thats EXACTLY WHY he should be included. So much fun!! He took one of our new Vampires, Shifters and Faries...Oh MY shirts to Sookie herself and asked us to make a special shirt for him. More details on that special request later.

We got to spend a little time in the dugout with the Sinners Team and had a great time watching the game and hanging out with the celebs.

WeBook Apparel had a vendor table and we got a chance to meet a lot of new friends and book lovers. We got to hang out with Heidi and Lauren from The Twilight Saga FB page, Kara from TwilightersAnonymous.com, and Kimmy from HisGoldenEyes.com, and went to the New Moon DVD release party at Borders where the web-girls hosted a fun Q&A and showed the new Eclipse trailer.

We're already hard at work on the next Vampire Baseball event scheduled for May 22 in Salt Lake City, UT. Check out the website and check back often as the team roster will be filling out in the coming weeks. It's a great event for fans and the celebs - definitely a nice afternoon at the ballpark.
