JK Rowling to visit NYC for book reading
The New York Times reports today that JK Rowling will be in New York City this August for a charity book reading. Jo will be at Radio City Music Hall in company of authors Stephen King and John Irving. King explained why he had invited our favorite author:

Thanks to Sarah for the tip!
"I loved the stuff that she does, and I thought if we had her, we could actually make a huge amount of money for charities," Mr. King said in an interview. "I thought that we could actually fill a really, really large venue."
On receiving the invitation, Jo had no problem joining the effort:"Stephen pretended to be in suspense about my answer, but frankly, this was easily one of the most enticing propositions ever put to me in an envelope."
Money raised through tickets (ranging from $12.50 - $100) will be donated to Doctors Without Borders and the Haven Foundation, which benefits "artists who suffered from illness or accidents." There will also be family packages costing $1,000 that include four orchestra seats and a signed book from each author.NOTE: At this time we do not have any further ticket information, so please do not e-mail us asking. Once we find out more information, we will post it here!

Great...Another charity I have to research for my new website...
I'm going to go! It should be really awsome! I still have to but my tickets, but I think im going to get the Family Pack so that I can get a signed book from Jo. I'm sooooooooooooooo exited! yay!
LOL....since when did the words do and able together become a bad thing. I mean I know it can mean something else but not always. Sometimes people just go overboard with the politically correctness of everything. Oh well, it's the world today no use in complaining.
Off Topic: There's a picture of Tom Felton and his girlfriend Melissa at this site http://www.mugglethai(dot)com/gallery/categories(dot)php?cat_id=103 just replace the (dot) with actual . I think they look cute together.
And sometimes I wish I could magically cross the Atlantic.... It's really not fair at all. But Go Jo! :)
Awesome!! my dad would never take me though...maybe i could ask my mom REALLY NICELY...
That's cool. I wish this thing was going on in June though when I'm going to NYC. Stephen King movies = my town. He makes most of the movies where I live. :]
I'm glad that Jo has such a good social conscience. She is handling fame very well.
I want to go sooooooooo bad, but I don't really live within walking distance of NYC. Oh well, I know that the charity will make a lot of money, Jo's charities always do. Go Jo!
heck! 1000 bucks isnt that bad for 4 tickets plus signed books! (that is assuming, of course, that i had 1000 bucks plus airfare and hotel and food and transportation expenses..)
woot! I'm going! I can't wait :P
