Ügyvédem a California ScienCenterben:

- Drágám, te sem gondolod komolyan, hogy ezekben a rozoga szerkezetekben kijutottak az emberek az űrbe! -270°, nulla nyomás! Viszont cuki ez az ezüstszínű űrcsizma... naneee.... azt még elhiszem, hogy feljutott az Endeavour az űrbe, eléggé szilárdnak tűnik... nade hogy magával vitte a magánál sokkal nagyobb üzemanyagtartályt... ugyanmá, drága Orkom, ezt még te sem hiszed el!!!

Cuki, fűzős űrcsizmák. Vagy bakancsok.

Hogy jobban lássál

Ön beszállna ebbe a járgányba?

Perszepersze, Ön kilővetné magát ebben az űrbe?

Szobadísznek kiváló

Tán megpörkölödött a segge

Állítólag járt Kint. Akárcsak Anettka, haha

Chris Colfer’s “Roswell Johnson Saves The World” Shines!

by Kent Burns | Jul 19, 2024

Recently, the Los Angeles Inquisitor was given exclusive access to Chris Colfer’s book launch for his 20th publication, Roswell Johnson Saves The World!

Golden Globe winning actor and #1 New York Times Best Selling author, Chris Colfer, embarks on a new adventure after selling over 13 million copies of his series, The Land of Stories, and turns to a sci-fi young adult series centered around 11 year-old Roswell Johnson. After a hard day at school, he wishes to be taken away from Earth – and to his surprise, he is! Whisked away by a quirky crew of extra terrestrials, Roswell and his newfound friends must save the human race from an evil invasion. But can Roswell restore his own faith in humanity in time to save the world?

Taking over the entire second floor of the California Science Center in Downtown Los Angeles, the book launch welcomed guests of all ages to celebrate this momentous publication in the Air & Space Exhibit Galleries. A perfect backdrop with space themed pinball machines, arcade cabinets, custom cocktails, photo opportunities, and nothing but joy in the air! There was even a Glee reunion as Emmy nominated actor Mike O’Malley, who played Colfer’s father on the show, celebrated Colfer’s success with open arms.

Colfer was kind enough to take time out of the festivities to give us an exclusive interview about his process, the story, and what he hopes readers come away with.
