Purple strikes again! We’re pleased to announce that ResQgeek will dye his hair purple for the 2011 Convention! Want to see him with multi-colored hair? Keep donating to get us to 95% & 100%!

We’re also thrilled that your donations have pushed us above the 70% mark, which means it’s KateKintail’s turn to have a run-off. Purple holds a commanding lead; will you help one of the other colors pull ahead?

Voting to decide KateKintail’s hair color ends: Saturday, March 26 at 11:59PM EDT.

Whatever hair color is in the lead at the end of the day on Saturday will be her hair color.

We’re pleased to announce that crrcookie will dye her hair purple for the 2011 Convention! For those of you not keeping track, that’s two purples in a row. Is it stuck on purple or will it change again? Keep in mind that if we hit the 90% and 100% marks, we’ll be dyeing our hair two or three colors. In that case, this would just be the first color.

Next up is ResQgeek’s run-off. Will we have three purples in a row? There are two days to decide!

Voting to decide ResQgeek’s hair color ends: Thursday, March 24 at 11:59PM EDT.

Whatever hair color is in the lead at the end of the day on Thursday will be his hair color. We’re sooooo close to having a run-off for KateKintail’s hair color, so donate now and get us to 70%!

On Sunday, March 13, ResQgeek led a bunch of BCinDC members on a walking tour of historic Old Town Alexandria. We saw many significant historic locations. Even those of us who live in the area saw and learned something new! We also visited the tree planted to honor ResQgeek’s daughter, Becky (it was nice to see it in the daylight). We walked past the restaurant, Bilbo Baggins. And, naturally, we released books along the way!

ResQgeek led the group and BookCrossers who took the tour were: crrcookie, FURBALL, Ixion, KateKintail, melydia, and nat4lee.

We’ve posted some great new raffle items that attendees will get a chance to win at the 2011 BookCrossing Convention.

There are still a bunch more that we haven’t posted yet (and we have a few that we’re keeping secret). So be sure to check back!

And don’t forget, even people who aren’t attending the convention can have a chance to win the handmade bally blanket. Buy your tickets today!

We’re pleased to announce that k-j-h will dye his hair purple for the 2011 Convention! The color won by just 0.24 of a percentage point– the closest race yet.

Next up is crrcookie’s run-off. Will she have blue or purple hair like our first two brave fundraisers? Or will she have a completely different color? You get to decide!

Voting to decide crrcookie’s hair color ends: Tuesday, March 22 at 11:59PM EDT.

Whatever hair color is in the lead at the end of the day on Tuesday will be her hair color. Then we’ll start a run-off vote to decide ResQgeek’s hair color. Keep in mind that if we hit the 90% and 100% marks, we’ll be dyeing our hair two or three colors. In that case, this would just be the first color.
