Last Thursday, Addendum Books for Young Adults and Children, St. Paul, Minn., hosted the publication party for I'm with Stupid by Geoff Herbach (Sourcebooks Fire), the third book in the Felton Reinstein trilogy. (The second in the trilogy, Nothing Special, just won a Minnesota Book Award.) Held at Dr. Chocolate's Chocolate Chateau, the party featured seven other authors who had submitted "stupid" stories to the blog I'm with Stupid, who read their own short stories. Interspersed were songs by Goth Mother, an a cappella cover band that includes Herbach's wife, Stephanie Wilbur Ash. The store set up a photo booth with props for guests to snap photos, and a chalkboard for them write notes to Herbach. The author also signed copies of his book.
