Van Halen News Desk Sparks Interest in “Dance of the Electric Hummingbird”
Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011, the Van Halen News Desk, one of the leading websites for information on Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Chickenfoot, Cabo Wabo and all things Van Halen, ran a story about Pat’s book, DANCE OF THE ELECTRIC HUMMINGBIRD, titled, “Sammy Hagar: Dance of the Electric Hummingbird ‘A Must-Read for Redheads.'”

Although the post incited both positive and negative comments, primarily due to the fact that the Van Halen News Desk website is not exlusively dedicated to Hagar, but to all past and present members of the legendary rock band, the article seems to have caught the attention of some major names in cyberspace.
As of this writing, the VHND post is being discussed at Bravewords.com, and at Ultimate Classic Rock , which we’re told has nearly half a million subscribers. The mentions keep coming in, and so do the comments on www.vhnd.com, so if you’re in need of a little entertainment, you might want to check it out.

A Huge Thank-you to Aaron Hagar
A huge thank-you to Sammy Hagar’s son, Aaron Hagar, for sending prints of my book cover to help make my book launch party last Saturday such a success. Having his prints on display definitely added to everyone’s enjoyment of the event.
Aaron did the cover painting for DANCE OF THE ELECTRIC HUMMINGBIRD and if I said he did a beautiful job, that would be a gross understatement. My photos don’t do it justice. Please note that these pieces are not yet stretched or mounted.

BOOK LAUNCH PARTY A HUGE SUCCESS!
Thank you to all my wonderful friends and family who helped me celebrate the achievement of a lifetime–the publication of my first book, DANCE OF THE ELECTRIC HUMMINGBIRD–by attending my book launch party last Saturday; that includes all of you who sent love and wishes (and flowers, cards, bottles of wine–wow! Am I blessed to have such wonderful friends or what?) but weren’t able to be there in person. You were there in spirit. It was so much fun! Who does a hip-hop dance (well, sort of!) to Pitbull’s “Shut it Down” at a book launch party? Who does tequila toasts with Cabo Wabo tequila? I do!
If you missed the party, no worries. Please come visit me on Thursday, December 1 from 5:30-7:00 pm, where I’ll be doing a reading and book signing at Reader’s Cove Bookstore, 1001 E. Harmony Rd., Fort Collins, CO. I would love to see you.
Lastly, we’re adding new live appearances and updates to the website daily. Please check back often so you don’t miss anything!
Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday season.
