Alright guys! If you are a Scott Pilgrim fan, then you are probably feeling pretty excited like I am about tomorrow... and if you live in Atlanta and haven't heard about the Criminal Records' Scott Pilgrim vs Atlanta party - then you are in for a treat!!
Scott Pilgrim vs. Atlanta Party
Date /Time: July 20th from 5pm to 9pm
Location: Criminal Records | 1154-A Euclid Avenue NE | Atlanta, GA 30307
Check out this snippet from the press release for the party:
SCOTT PILGRIM VS. CRIMINAL RECORDS THIS TUESDAY, JULY 20, 2010!
ATLANTA -- The highly anticipated finale of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series will be released on Tuesday, July 20, and Criminal Records is hosting a party to celebrate the book, Scott Pilgrim Vol. 6: Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour, and the upcoming film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
From 5 to 9pm next Tuesday, Criminal Records will transform into a subspace portal, where comic book fans are invited to dress up for a costume contest, to pose in a Scott Pilgrim-themed photo booth, and to participate in a video game tournament (disclaimer: electrical equipment may become unstable in subspace). There will also be giveaways and, of course, delicious cake to complete the party atmosphere.
I'll be there helping out all day and enjoying the festivities. So if you live in Atlanta - please come check out our party and say hello! There is also a domain dedicated to all things Scott Pilgrim vs Atlanta where we will upload the photos taken at the party :) http://scottpilgrimvsatl.com/
I'm so pumped! I'm planning on dressing up too - nothing too crazy but I'll give you a little hint about my outfit's theme...
And to keep in the spirit of the excitement, here are a few Scott Pilgrim-y links:
- Looking for your own local Scott Pilgrim release party? Oni Press released a list of comic shops that are celebrating! Check it out and see if your local comic shop is listed.
- San Diego Comic Con is sure to be filled with Scott Pilgrim goodies. (So jealous of all of you who are going!) For those of us not attending, here is a peek at some of the new merchandise. I really want the snowy limited edition poster.
- And speaking of the limited edition posters - artist Hellen Jo posted on her blog yesterday about the Crash & the Boys poster she illustrated for SDCC's limited release! It is pretty awesome - exactly how I picture the band.
- Want to make a Ramona Flower's subspace purse for your local release party, but don't know how to sew? Check out Kayla Kromer's flickr post on how to make a no-sew Ramona bag!

Well thats it for now - as I find more stuff through out the week I'll save it to share with you guys. Tuesday will probably be a little quiet around here since I'll be at the event all day... I'll be closing out the give away post that morning and later in the evening I'll pick a winner to announce on Wednesday!
After that I'll probably hide out in the above Scott Pilgrim shirt, drink lots of tea and relax with the final book. It has been a lot of hard work helping out on the Scott Pilgrim vs. Atlanta party, but I'm so excited to be a part of it tomorrow!
