To celebrate the release of "Breaking Dawn," author
Stephenie Meyer will attend four story-and-song-fueled special events, accompanied by
Blue October singer/songwriter Justin Furstenfeld. Insisting the mini-tour idea is "cooler than anything I could have imagined," Meyer has made plans for the following dates:
· 8/1 - New York City @ Nokia Theater at Times Square
· 8/5 - Chicago @ Harris Theater
· 8/7 - Los Angeles @ Royce Hall
· 8/12 - Seattle @ Benaroya Hall
Tickets for the "Breaking Dawn" concert series are $20 each and go on sale June 21 at 10 a.m. ET; information on where to buy them will be posted soon on
StephenieMeyer.com and on
TheTwilightSaga.com. After the concerts, fans can get autographs from Meyer. New York attendees will receive a limited edition "Breaking Dawn" bookplate, while fans at the other shows can bring their favorite Meyer novel for signing.
More... Sort of a disappointing Twilight Tuesday after all of the speculation about the cast being present at the signings. I was really looking forward to meeting the Cullens! I'm also in a bit of a panic about the whole...Blue October thing. I'm really not a fan. That "Hate Me" song was on the radio much too much and despite the influence they had on SM's writing...I just can't stand them. Here's to hoping that they aren't plastered all over the Twilight soundtrack!
