Hurricane Ike Postpones Wrestlemania 25!

WrestleMania XXV ticket sales postponed to Oct. 11
WWE.COM-As seen on WWE.com, Unforgiven and Raw this week, tickets for WrestleMania XXV were originally scheduled to go on sale Sept. 20. However, out of concern for the residents of the Gulf Coast of Texas as it pertains to Hurricane Ike, and the recent disaster area declaration made by Texas Governor Rick Perry, WWE has chosen to postpone ticket sales for WrestleMania XXV until Oct. 11, at 10 a.m. CT.

We thank the WWE Universe for their understanding, and send our thoughts out to those affected by the hurricane.

More Of 39, KK2, and Ember!



I pulled a book off the shelf last night at Target that I've been talking about for the past few weeks. The Maze Of Bones, by Rick Riordan.



It overall was a good read, even if I read up to Chapter 5! I'm hoping to get a copy of the book tonight!

I also snuck a peek at KK2. I didn't get to read any of it, but it looks like a long read(371 pages text)!

I finshed The Diamond Of Darkhold last night. It was a good read. The middle was kind of spooky, it felt like Kane could have showed up!
Ok, he might have(hee hee)

E- Mail from Tunnels Website

The fowling email showed up in my inbox this morning. It might answer some of your questions regarding Tunnels and other books in that series:

A few answers for your questions….



Deeper will be released in the US Spring 09.

It will be at the Scholastic Book Fairs.

FreeFall will be out in the US Summer/Fall 2010, but in the UK Spring 09.

We’re not sure yet that there will be a fourth instalment, but we also like the colour blue and thanks for your title suggestion.

So far there are only 3 books planned, but we’ll see – I guess it depends where the adventure in FreeFall leads and seeing as it hasn’t even been written yet – who knows!!



Of course you can post this info on your blog.
