1st DragonCon update
Hey everyone, I hope this finds you well! I just got our set time for our performance at DragonCon… We’ll be going on at 1:30 am on Friday (Saturday morning if you want to get technical), September 4th in the Hyatt’s Centennial Ballroom. Those of you who have attended the convention in the past know that’s a prime time slot, so we’re psyched! I’ll let you know as details on our acoustic set and panel appearances are posted, so stay tuned bat-kids!
We’re still adding to the ranks of the undead… looking for DragonCon attendees who want to dress up as zombies and pass out flyers to spread the word about our performance. You’ll get a cool Bella Morte grab bag full of excellent swag for you efforts! Email us at BMZombie@gmail.com if you can help out… and if you already wrote, we’ll be getting in touch with you in the next couple of days with more details.
Until Soon,
Andy
Confirmed for DragonCon 2009
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to DragonCon, but I’m happy to announce that Bella Morte is returning this year. I just got the call about this a couple days ago, so I have a mountain of work to do over the next few weeks to prepare for the event. The past couple of months have found me writing music at a pace I haven’t kept in years, and I’m excited to say that a follow up to Beautiful Death is coming along very nicely.
Last time we performed at DragonCon a fan of the band suggested that we enlist an army of “Bella Morte zombies” to promote our performances at the con, similar to “The Cruxshadows fairies”, but with a greater tendency toward eating brains. So I’d like to know… if you are going to be at DragonCon next month, would you be interested in joining up? It would involve dressing up as a zombie (a sexy zombie if you’re a lady) and passing out flyers, spreading the word, that sort of thing. Maybe work an impromptu zombie parade in there somehow! I think it’d be a load of fun.
I for one am looking very forward to the weekend at D.C. All this hard work has me looking very forward to a fun, stress free weekend in Atlanta… play a couple shows (we’ll be doing an acoustic set along with our regular performance), sign some books, and most of all hang out with you guys. No schedule has been posted yet, but as soon as I know when our performances and panel appearances will take place I’ll pass it on to you.
So, for all you folks who want to be Bella Morte zombies at DragonCon, send an email to BMZombie@gmail.com. Include your real name and cell phone number so we can text you at the Con to organize a time and place to meet.
Can’t wait to see all you crazy bastards next month!
Best,
Andy
Video from book signing
Hey guys, here’s a video from my recent book signing event at Barnes and Noble. The night was a huge success and should mean I’m visiting more B&N locations in the future! The B&N here in Charlottesville, VA still has a limited number of signed copies on hand for sale, and any one of there stores in the USA can order the book for you if it’s out of stock!
Order “The Sticks” from Barnes and Noble!
“The Sticks” is available through Amazon.com as well!
Thanks to everyone who was there, and special thanks to Shawn Decker for shooting the video.

Andy @ Barnes & Noble for book signing
I will be appearing at Barnes and Noble in Charlottesville, VA on Thursday, July 23rd at 7pm to read a few pages from my recently released novel, “The Sticks”. I’ll also be signing copies and answering any questions you might have about the book, the band, or whatever else you can dream up… Feel free to bring your Bella Morte CDs and I’ll sign those too. And maybe we’ll invade IHOP afterward, the whole damn lot of us! hmmm…
I know many of you won’t be able to make it because you live too far away… I’ve gotten a lot of requests to do signings elsewhere, so feel free to make suggestions and I’ll do what I can to get there!
Thanks everyone! See you Thursday!
