Went to a Dave Barry/Ridley Pearson book signing for Peter and the Secret of Rundoon. Fun kids books except for the gross parts meant for little boys (biting someone else's toenails? I don't think so). I have never been so nervous meeting an author in my life. Must have been Dave's uber-cool guitar playing in the Rock Bottom Remainders. I did babble something to Mr. Pearson and got away before I made a total fool of myself.
Let me contrast that with my recent Janet Evanovich experience. Waited three hours in a bookstore while she signed over 700 books. When I got up to her I blurted out "good job signing all these books - can't believe you didn't take a break". She said in an adorable voice, "I . . . am a professional". Very cute. And the book wasn't bad either.
Just so you know my blog contract requires me to use the word "adorable" at least once a week.

You went to see Dave Barry and didn't take along Allyson or Lila or me?? No fair! I demand that you ask him personally to come back so that you can make things right.
I think it is cool that you used both adorable and uber in the same post.
