My new BFFs

I got to meet The Bloggess! It was quite the adventure. The other (major!) highlight was meeting Lauren who pens the magnificent blog, Filing Jointly Finally.

If you've read The Bloggess (aka Jenny Lawson), you know she writes some crazy shit. One of her most famous posts  is about Beyonce, the huge metal chicken (actually, it's a big metal rooster but she calls it a chicken and who am I to argue with a best selling author?). Apparently lots of people know about Beyonce because numerous chicken/roosters (or choosters, as I call them) attended the book signing. 

This is for you, BOB.
That's a tentacle on my finger -- a
gift from Lauren.

Now, there were some interesting people there (feel free to read whatever you want into that because it's probably accurate, like the lady sitting four feet in front of Jenny that yelled, "Fuck, yeah!" about every five minutes). But the most interesting person there was Lauren (and definitely the prettiest). But not just Lauren....Ryan was there too. I finally got to meet the guy who ruins all her holidays and won't give her gemstones (geeez, Ryan, wtf??). But, other than his obvious issues, he was a pretty nice guy. He bought me tea, and when anyone buys me tea, I think they're pretty nice. And so, for your viewing pleasure, Bob, here is a picture of Lauren and me. (We would have taken one with The Bloggess too, but they had us in a line and shooed us through as quickly as possible.....I think one of them had a cattle prod). 


All in all, I had a wonderful evening with my new BFFs, Jenny and Lauren. I'm not sure I'll make another book signing, but this one was awesome!


Have you ever met someone (famous [Jenny] or even semi-famous [Lauren]) that you loved and respected? Was it a joyous adventure (ours was!)?


Have you been there?
