Fall Heats Up As Stars Of “The Vampire Diaries” Continue Tour Of Hot Topic Stores
(October 5, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Hot Topic, The CW Television Network and Warner Bros. Television will once again join forces for the “The Vampire Diaries” Season 2 Cast Tour. Stars of the popular series, which airs Thursday nights at 8/7c on The CW, will make personal appearances at select Hot Topic stores in the Dallas, Chicago and Miami metropolitan areas. The first tour – which took place in January at Hot Topic locations in the Atlanta, New York/New Jersey and Los Angeles areas – quickly sold out and thousands more fans gathered at the events to see their favorite stars and hear them answer questions.
