How many authors does it take to have a good time?

When Irish eyes are smiling, run! Patricia Bray and friends at Waldenbooks, 1/17/09

Yesterday's signing at Waldenbooks was a blast. Store manager [livejournal.com profile] fireun and her staff outdid themselves, and fellow signees (signers?) [livejournal.com profile] scbutler, Barbara Campbell, and [livejournal.com profile] jpsorrow were great fun to hang out with. Customers were already waiting as we were setting up, and for the first hour there wasn't even a lull to check our watches.

In addition to the pic I snarfed above for my first ever Lolcat, [livejournal.com profile] fireun has posted more photos on her LJ here.

Fox40 News stopped by to document the festivities. Alas when they were there I was so busy talking with customers that they didn't get a chance to interview me, but they did get a chance to talk to Joshua when he took a break to get more books.

We topped off the signing by a swing by Fat Cat Books so Sam and Barbara could sign books, and then dinner at the Lost Dog. All in all, a great day.

The only thing that's missing is the plaintive cry I see brimming over in your eyes.."bwaaaaaiaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnsssss....."

Gaak. First the picture of me in Daryl's lap in Locus, and now this! You're trying to make me a laughingstock!

I love the LOLauthorz :D

Alas, it appears that Fox40News will not play their videos for dangerous Canadian types (or maybe just not for me?) ...

I hope april gave you my condolences - when she said she was not going to do dinner because of the illness, I didn't feel like I could go, Yes, I know you and Josh, but when I only know 50% of the people there, I tend to feel outnumbered and my shyness kicks in.

Yes, I am actually quite shy. Terribly so. But you know, in the bookstore, I am in retail mode.

But I am glad to hear it was crazy and busy. That is awesome.
