1. That was fun 🙂

2. You are so cute!

   OK. You were on a swing. And you did not jump off on video! Go back and get a pic!

   🙂

3. OMG you are too cute! Your voice is just how I pictured it 🙂

4. Cutest contest drawing evar!!! 🙂 And congrats to the winner!

5. Thanks, Robin! I will always think of you as an aspen now…

6. When your book comes out, I will jump off that very same swing to help celebrate!

7. Aw, thanks!

8. Thanks – and thanks for playing. I loved your entry!

10. Yay Della!!

    Great video!

    Crossing my fingers I can get one at ALA. 🙂

11. They all fall down…

    What a great way to pick a winner!
    I look forward to reading Gianna in September.

12. How cool are you?

    Answer: WICKED COOL!

    Best contest winner announcement ever, Kate. Well done. (Kudos to your flipcam crew, too!)

13. Thanks – Lake Champlain is pretty much at its best this time of year!

14. Thanks, Lisa – if I don’t see you right away at ALA, I will sneak an ARC off the pile and hide it under the table for you!

15. Re: They all fall down…

    Thanks! And thanks for playing the leaf game – I loved your comment!

16. Thanks, Loree! (J shook his head the whole time he was taping… “You’re really going to put this on your blog??”)

17. The countdown was my favorite part — it chirped up so quickly!

18. That was so much fun to watch that I just want to see more of your contest results!!!

19. That was fun. I was rooting for my leaf!!!!! Guess I’ll just have to get my book the old fashioned way. Buy it!

20. Thanks, Mitali! I do have some rather enthusiastic assistants. (If they weren’t so shy, I’d have listed them in credits!)

21. Let’s see…when you give away a copy of BUG BOY, you should put everyone’s name on an index card…and then tape each card to a horse at Saratoga, and then whichever horse wins…

22. Thanks, Laurie! (Sorry your leaf didn’t land closer!)

23. Actually, my idea was to use the OTB channel and have all entrys attached to certain horses in heats. I just need to think of a contest. I’m thinking a caption contest; they’re always fun.

24. You – and your countdown/cameraman – are absolutely adorable! I’m so glad to get to “see” you!!

25. Really? Well, if you think of it, that would be great, but don’t feel bad if you forget with everything going on. I’m going to try and be there at your signing time, though!

26. Thanks! I passed your compliments on to the countdown & camera crew!

27. Kate, I’m late to my own party!! That was such a cute video!! Thank you! My girls (12 and 14)and I are eager to read GIANNA Z. Thanks so much!!
    Wooooohooooo!
