And finally, last night's activities were attended by a few bloggers. Ed writes a much better review of the events than I ever could. For my part, let's just say that the food and drink were excellent, Kevin is a gracious host, ACWLPFB is a neato bookstore, and the author, for all his professed nervousness in front of a crowd, did an excellent job, both with the reading and fielding questions later on.

By the way, if you're feeling generous, I've added the book to my wishlist. You might get one for yourself while you're at it. It's a good 'un.

PS: Jish and I did not leave in a cloud of dust - we would have stood in line to get books signed if we'd thought of buying the book before the reading - deciding to buy the book when there are already 50+ people standing in line ... well, we hadn't had dinner yet and it was getting late. But I did manage to get Women, a book I've wanted since I saw the museum exhibit in January, for a mere $24, instead of the $75 it was selling for back then. There's many benefits to waiting.
