The food is marvelous, Laga. Did anyone have the caramel truffles?
Jilli and Fay did. They were sat next to each other and you should have seen their faces! We still have one of the caramel because Fay couldn't finish them. We'd probably eat it today but apart from the flowers people gave Jilli, she also received a large supply of cupcakes.
Did anyone have the caramel truffles? Homemade caramels covered in dark chocolate with a sprinkle of seat salt HMOGSOPOLARBEARINGGOOD!! and I'm not a big desert person.
TCG and I shared them, and I second your reaction.
The launch event went very well tonight. We were at standing room only and since I know the seating capacity that means we had 150 to 160 people. The store had ordered 89 copies and we sold 84 of them, leaving B&N with 3 signed store copies and 2 unsigned copies holding the fort on the now-decimated front display, right next to a display of Twilight books...
Heh, I just found out that the 3 signed copies weren't ever out on sale and the other two were tucked away on the shelves. There were actually people looking for copies who couldn't get them, so effectively, we did indeed SELL OUT!
Excellent.
Dang, i should have stayed for dinner sunday night! I had to make do with a drive thru burrito :(
I had a crazy veggie burger! It was almost like a giant falafel patty.
I had a crazy veggie burger!
Did it belong in the ranks of the best burgers?
I just found dcp's prom videos. So cool!
Did it belong in the ranks of the best burgers?
I feel that I am unqualified to make that declaration, never having had an actual burger. But it definitely tasted different from all the other veggie burgers I've had. Lot of red pepper ground in there.
I am so sorry I missed Purple, it sounds so delicious! That's what I get for thinking "I've already eaten, I can do without." Bah. Next time I'll know better.
One thing I learned by not doing it - eat with the Buffistas on Sunday evening.
For the record, at Jillis event, I snagged the third from last book from the display at the entrance to the stage area. I saw Twilight book right there with it, and hid that shite behind the sign for Jilli, while muttering about the tragedy of it all. This entertained my friend to no end. Who, I will say, was totally captivated by you, Jilli. Loved your coat. And was wondering if any of the questions were plants, because you seemed to have answers so quickly.
