My first book signing was a total blast. Two days ago in the Century City Mall in Los Angeles. Borders Books (& Music). At least 35 people showed. A couple old friends. Some new ones. Some LA peeps I met not long after I first moved here. Some whom I haven’t seen in a while. It was a real “this is the last three years of your life” moment for me. A few strangers in the crowd as well. The store had to add extra chairs. Very cool.
The Borders folk were friendly. Lita and Yossi were super nice to me and made me feel more comfortable than was probably necessary. It was as if they had no idea I was going to be misspelling their names on my blog mere days later. Go figure.
I wish I had more juicy details to reveal about this night, but the whole thing pretty much went off without a hitch. I think I managed to sound quasi-intelligent with my ramblings, and all the feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive. Drinks and lobster enchiladas afterwards were also overwhelmingly positive. Thanks to everyone who showed up and made it such a groovy night.
Here are a few pictures.

You know, that has got to feel fucking fantastic.
(I was at the Jennifer Weiner book signing in Santa Monica where you mentioned you’d just had a book published)
I just downloaded a sample of your book on my kindle (which is one of the benefits of having a kindle and I highly recommend it) and if all goes well I will buy it. Regardless, congratulations.
So, now that I’ve read your book….
I will start promoting it around the town (sorry to miss your signing in Boston, I had class) — maybe you can write a book about a loser girl who has no life but work all day, law school all night! Okay, that’s totally not interesting.
Anyways, GREAT Book. Very fun. I devoured it on my vacation last week. I could see it playing out in my head like a movie (I think it would make a fantastic movie). Lots of action, lots of emotions . . . something for everyone in the audience. What’s not to love?
Butt Fill Up for president!
