In (110 degree) Scottsdale, it was Melissa, Kelley, Alyson, Holly Black, Sarah Rees Brennan, and me:
There were cookies (Get it? Boots because we were “Kicking-It”!)...
...sparkly tattoos...
...and Sarah Rees Brennan showing off her fencing moves (yes, in her skirt and high heels) to a crowd of almost 300!
In Menlo Park, we lost Holly Black and Sarah Rees Brennan…but we picked up Melissa de la Cruz, Margaret Stohl, and Kami Garcia:
Backstage, we showed off our jewelry and our shoes.
And then we were on:
I'm not sure what Alyson was talking about, but I LOVE the picture!!!And I just have to say that group tours are incredible, but touring with some of the Smartest Chicks in YA literature was absolutely mind blowing!!!

I wanted to go to one of the stops but none were nearby enough. And even the one that was like 5 hours away didn't really pan out because it's a long trip for just one night.
Been hearing that the stops were good though! Looks like fun! Maybe I'll go next year if the Smart Chicks do it again!
I wish I could have been there but it was too far away. :(
Wow! I've been following the tour from the periphery and it looks *amazing!* Congratulations, ladies, on such a successful, communal tour. And Kimberly, I know you're not the only author to go home energized and ready to keep kicking it. Best to you all! Kudos!
looks like so much fun!!! Maybe an East Coast tour could happen one day . Love the rings and shoes.
That tour does look amazing. I saw som clips over on Lisa Descrochers' blog. If onmly I was in the Western Hemisphere :(
I so wanted to go but couldn't! :-( Looks like a lot of fun!!
So fabulous to see a Canadian date on this tour!!
I love these ladies! It was such a blast being apart of the tour in Austin, TX and The Woodlands, TX. I think it's such a brilliant idea and one I hope they continue next year.
Wish, wish, wish I could have been there!
It looks like fun -- I'm off on Saturday to the Canadian date in Brampton -- woo hoo : )
gah! All these tours make me want to find some to go to! I'd geek out if I could meet any of the author's of the books I read.
What fun! Safe and happy travels, Kick-it Chicks!!
Wow--looks like a lot of fun. (Bet you slept afterward though!)
