Friday July 8:
Book Nerds and nerds in search of a publisher can have their ideas heard at The Raconteur's PITCHAPALOOZA at 8 PM in Metuchen. "The Book Doctors, aka, Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, authors of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published, want YOU to pitch your book at their acclaimed event, Pitchapalooza, which was recently featured in The New York Times, and in a mini-documentary for Newsday. Pitchapalooza is like American Idol for books--only without the Simon. Writers get one minute to pitch their book ideas to an all-star panel of publishing experts. The winner receives an introduction to an appropriate agent or publisher for his/her book. Plus, anyone who buys a book gets a free consultation worth $100."
Sci-Fi Nerds may already know about this, but two stars of the TV show 'Supernatural' will be in Parsippany this weekend at the 'Supernatural' Convention, starting Friday and going throughout the weekend. Tickets get progressively more expensive.
Saturday, July 9:
Book Nerds fresh from Pitchapalooza can swing by the Maplewood Library's Bag-of-Books Sale, starting at 10 AM. Bags are $8. Later that day and into Sunday, Maplewoodstock promises lots of local goodies for Food, Festival, Music, Crafty, Artsy, and Main Street Nerds. And it's free!
In Chester, the Third Annual Front Porch Bluegrass Festival and Pig Roast should also satisfy the above nerds, and is also free, but anything you buy at the festival will help benefit people in Appalachia.
Sunday, July 10:
Maplewoodstock continues.
In Clinton, the 22nd Annual Rubber Ducky Race will happen near the famous Red Mill and Falls.
In other Food Nerd News, though the Warren County Farmers' Fair isn't until the end of the month, the deadline for registration to participate in the Rib Cook-off is July 8!
