Located high up in Seattle's Trigger building we had a stunning view of the "bright lights, big city" landscape not far from Starbucks headquarters, featuring a beautiful polished hardwood bar and overlooking a room of glowing neon signs. What great atmosphere.
PRE-PARTY
This celebration came with personalized copies of GHOST PLANET as party favors for guests.
Note how the green and black theme of the decorations matches the gorgeous cover of GHOST PLANET.
Sharon's party dress was quite a hit!
Layers and layers of poofy, puffy gold netting.
And tennis shoes, of course!
You can see some of the bright lights of Seattle through the window behind Sharon.

This was a fun idea! A bit of baking magic and a lot of imagination and...voila! Character Cupcakes courtesy of Rachel Agent.
There was a chocolate and stout beer for hero Murphy. And a red velvet cream for heroine Elizabeth.
Trays of Murphy and Elizabeth cupcakes were on hand for guests to enjoy. And they were delicious!
Guests were treated to trays of grapes, fruits, breads, crackers and scrumptious cheeses.
The food table kept with the GHOST PLANET green and black theme.
