Happy Tuesday from The Licensing Book

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Happy four-day work week to you all!

We at The Licensing Book are in a very good mood today! Why, you ask?

1. Our biggest issue of the year is all done, and will be ready in time for you amazing people to get your hands on it at Licensing Show in Vegas next week!

2. The entire Licensing Book team is going to see Conan O’Brien tonight at Radio City Music Hall.

3. I finally remembered to charge my iPod.

4. A second trailer for the super-amazing Scott Pilgrim v.s. the World has debuted, reconfirming the belief of the TLB staff that this movie is going to be freakin’ awesome! (The film will be in theaters August 13). Watch the new trailer here:

We’ve got lots of ways to get the news out now…facebook, twitter, the blog, the print issues, the online issues (carrier pigeon, smoke signals, Morse code, etc.). But we still need you! So speak up, out there in licensing land!

Hello? Anybody home?
