Eventful events (that aren't real events)

Hey gang,

I have to say, so far I've really, really loved having the www.eventful.com/allycarter page where you guys can request I tour in your areas. It's been incredibly helpful and insightful and I'm very, very grateful to everyone who has filled it out!

But...

Unfortunately, I think someone has made a mistake and entered two "events" in Spring, TX in August. These are NOT real events.

My hunch is that someone was trying to "demand" (or request) that I come to Spring, TX and they accidentally said that I already had events scheduled there instead.

There are two problems with this.

1. I can't delete any event I did not add.

2. There are no events in Spring, TX, and I'm terrified that people are going to show up. And I, of course, won't be there.

So if you've signed up with the name "GallagherGirl" at eventful.com, please remove the two Spring, TX events.

And for everyone else, please don't add events to the eventful page. (For the life of me, I don't know why eventful allows non-performers to add stuff to a performer's page. But they do. I could go to Miley Cyrus's page and say she's going to be touring with the Easter Bunny and there's nothing Miley's people could do to stop me.)

Therefore, you should also check here, at AllyCarter.com to verify events because it seems that the eventful page won't be 100% reliable.

Thanks!

Ally


ps...I WILL be at Kepler's books in the SF Bay Area this Thursday night at 5:00, though! I hope to see you there!

Wow. I didn't know that you could to that to Miley's touring page. Maybe Santa wants to take a break from making toys...

Hey Ally! I was wondering if you think that The Secret Life of Bees would be appropriate for a 13 year old? I want to read it before the movie comes out in October.Thanks!
P.S. That shouldn't be possible to add events for other people, isn't there like a password or something?

i knew they weren't real because you would have said them on your blog and one says you'll be doing something (other than sleeping) at 2 in the morning

Yeah I was thinking the same thing when I signed up for Eventful.com, that people shouldn't be allowed and able to put events up like that. Someone needs to fix that so that it can't happen. People who live in Spring, TX: Sorry guys; I would be bummed if I were you too.

Hey,Ally? I have a question (more like a teeny favor) to ask you.

In a movie rating, what would you rate the novel (☺) To Kill A Mocking Bird? I know you rave about the novel, but before I get it, what would you say it is.

Thanks!

PS.Not so long ago you sad that there will be a new character in GG3, remember? Well, I heard that it's a new student. I don't know her name, but she's a chameleon too. And she has to share a room with Cammie, Liz, Bex, and Macey. I know it's interesting and cool and everything, but I'm not sure, so don't quote me on that. Even thoug it IS a good idea.

Kate--

I'm definitely NOT ally carter, but i read A Secret Life of Bees for english and i'm 14. I think a 13 year old could read it, the only inappropriate material is there is some child abuse, some language (but thats because they're in the South during the 60's), and racial issues. But its a REALLY good book.

Anyway though... shouldnt there be some kind of lock that would prevent people from making events that arent really happeing on that website? It was hopefully a accident.

Oh MAN!!! I though Miley Cyrus was touring with my local garbage man!!!! Darn. Jk lol (i hate miley cyrus's music anyway)
