Felicia Day of The Guild at UNM via Bookworks!

Felicia Day, of The Guild and the upcoming MST3K reboot, will be having a signing event for You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) Friday, April 29, at the University of New Mexico, courtesy of Bookworks!  She’ll be in conversation with our own Craig Chrissinger, who has written for Starlog, Comics Scene, Fangoria and the Albuquerque Journal on film, TV and books.

TICKET  PRIORITY SEATING & SIGNING LINE PLACEMENT REQUIRES PURCHASE FROM BOOKWORKS. 

The instant New York Times bestseller from queen of the geeks Felicia Day, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational (Forbes.com) memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world.

When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids (desperately).  Growing up in the Deep South, where she was home-schooled for hippie reasons, she looked online to find her tribe.  The Internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world.  Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930’s detective novels without shame.  Because she had no idea how uncool she really was.  Her rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media.  Ever candid, she opens up about the rough patches along the way, recounting battles with writer’s block, a full-blown gaming addiction, severe anxiety, and depression and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming.

Felicia Day is a professional actress who has appeared in numerous mainstream television shows and films, including a two-season arc on the SyFy series Eureka. She is currently recurring on The CW show Supernatural.  However, Day is best known for her work in the web video world, behind and in front of the camera.  She co-starred in Joss Whedon’s Emmy Award-winning Internet musical, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.  She also created and starred in the hit web series The Guild.  She soon will be seen as the evil scientist in the reboot of the cult-favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Come join Day (with Chrissinger) 7:00 pm Friday, April 29, at UNM’s Woodward Hall (west of Popejoy Hall & the Student Union Building – close to Yale Blvd).  Bookworks will have additional books for sale at the event.
