Charleston music community mourns the death of videographer Andrew Gardner

Gardner was a beloved member of the music scene

Our YALLFest family has lost a valued member. Videographer Drew Gardner passed away last weekend. His creativity and thoughtful work will be sorely missed. He created some epic videos of our festival, capturing the joy and the fun times while exploring themes of inclusivity and diversity. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this very sad time.

Here are just some of the shining faces you could encounter at the YALLCRAWL where an all-star lineup of authors will be signing Friday afternoon on Upper King Street- no tickets required! https://yallfest.org/event_type/yallcrawl/

(We’re so excited to share the Saturday schedule with you soon- you can buy your tickets for the Keynotes & Smackdown in the meantime: https://yallfest.boldtypetickets.com/)

Planning for the 2019 Fest is in high gear. We have nearly 70 authors coming to Upper King Street in Downtown Charleston, Nov. 8 & 9, for two days of panels, signings, and general madness.

What's that? Can't make it? Well, you can still pre-order signed books at http://bluebicyclebooks.bigcartel.com/category/yallfest and we'll ship them to you after the festival!

What's that? You are coming but can't wait in every line you want to? You can pre-order signed books and pick them up already signed on Saturday Nov. 9.

*Sorry, no personal inscriptions on pre-orders.

*We try very hard to have plenty of stock, but the fact is, during the festival some titles will sell out. Ordering in advance guarantees you're not left out in the book-less cold, looking through the window at the lucky ones, their faces glowing in the warmth of a freshly-Sharpied title page..

*Questions? Call us at Blue Bicycle Books, 843.722.2666. 

*Thank you for supporting Charleston's locally-owned bookstore!

Hurricane Dorian came way too close yesterday, but Charleston managed to escape major damage. Thank you for all your well-wishes! Blue Bicycle Books and the YALLFest Charleston offices on King Street are back open today and we are excited to announce the YALLFest 2019 Author Line-up!

We are so glad Charleston is safe, but we know not every community is in that position. Please join us in whatever way you can to send support to those most affected. Here are some resources on how to help.
