The Konamis: Unveiled

The force was on our side for our 2nd-annual Star Wars Night in cooperation with the Mandalorian Mercs, 501st and Rebel Legion. We invited true Star Wars fans to spend their Saturday evening getting a taste of what it's like to be in a galaxy far far away.

We can't get enough Harry and the Potters and we wanted to share the video recapping the magical time we had at the 2012 concert party with Paul and Joe DeGeorge in Club Congress. Fans packed the club and hotel causing a repeat of last year when the throngs of attendees inspired a second performance. In grand style we transformed Hotel Congress into Hogwatrs Hotel with other local businesses and organizations that love the wizarding world as much as we do. Watch the video and see for yourself!

It's time to start figuring out where you put your backpack, check if your markers are dried out and hope you'll be in the same class as your best friend -- back to school time! We celebrated with special back-to-school parties at two of our Tucson locations that involved our favorite Silly Tassie in the world.

Bookmans Ina
School was in session for our Summer Kids Event -- Clown School, that is! Silly Tassie made our Back-to-School party a super silly, educational time. She painted our faces like clowns and then took the kids through clown academy, where they became certified silly clowns. Silly Tassie made the kids balloon animals because no clown is complete without a balloon animal. All Kids Club members received a free I Love Bookmans T-shirt that they got to decorate with markers and had delicious Eegees to help us cool off. It was a party to remember. Check out our Flickr page to see how much fun we had.

Last Saturday we ended our month-long celebration of Dog Days of Summer with a Blues Brothers in the doghouse spectacular. The Humane Society and Arizona Greyhound Rescue were on hand set up to meet and greet the good people and dogs of Bookmans. Both organizations had information on adoption, volunteer opportunities and education on animal wellfare and what you can do to be a hero to a dog in need. After visiting with these amazing organizations everyone took the opportunity to get their pooch's picture taken with the Blues Brothers.

We had a howling good time at our first Beach Blanket Bow Wow party at Bookmans Mesa. The party was created to entice families to come hang out, celebrate our love of animals and have lots of dogs in one place! We're not above bribery. We love pets of all shapes and sizes and this was just an excuse to get as many furry friends in one place for us to spoil them. With free caninine caricatures, Pupcakes and other treats from Kiki's Cupcake Service and pet-related raffles there was plenty to do today. Our friends at the Arizona Beagle Rescue were fabulous co-hosts as they brought along their adoptable beagle pals in hopes to find everyone a new home. The Beagles were friendly, loving and adorable in their Hawaiian shirts and other beach wear.
