June 4 - 7, 2009

Okay, this is exciting news. We've been working on putting this together for about 4 months and we're finally ready to release some details.

The first-ever Bella Books and Spinsters Ink Y Tour is taking place June 4-7 in Denver! The Y Tour is about womYn working together, creating, building, dancing and reading. Several events are planned with Denver womYn's and charitible groups, including:

• Thursday night kickoff party! Get first crack at our inventory of books at this event, which we're putting together with HipChicksOut.
• The First Friday Dance by Babes Around Denver. We will have books on hand for signing, if you can catch us off the dance floor. A portion of profits will be donated to Metro Denver's Habitat for Humanity.
• Saturday Build! Bella & Spinsters authors will join with Tomboy Tools for a Habitat workday.
• Sunday afternoon at Belmar Public Library, a reading with questions and answers. It's one last chance to pick up copies from the authors, or to bring your own for signing after the program.

Current list of authors attending the Y Tour:

Karin Kallmaker
KG MacGregor
Rose Pry
Ruth Perkinson
Tracey Richardson
Kenna White 

All of the details are at www.BellaYTour.com. Be sure to crank up your speakers!


I'll update this page as more details about the venues and times are available. I hope you'll join us for reading, building and dancing!

In addition to the local community groups that have partnered with us for our tour, we at Bella & Spinsters are pleased to be sponsored by the Lambda Literary Foundation.

Update: This was THE BEST EVENT I've ever done! You can check out my blog entries from June 8 & June 15 for a rundown of happenings. Here's a sampling of the photos (click on the boxes and the pics will open -- I'll fix the thumbnails later). You can enjoy these & others at www.BellaYTour.com.
