Had fun yesterday. We stood in line for 2 hours at Laguna Beach Books to meet and have a book signed by Kathy Griffin. Hubby & I both watch "My Life on the D List" and like the show.
Lots & lots of people in line and a very flamboyant bunch. One guy was wearing a bright red suit (not Santa) with silver stiletto heels and a red fancy fur hat. He was doing his peacock strut all up & down the line. He was a riot!
I got my picture with Kathy and with the 2 other people on the show with her....Tiffany & Tom.
I don't attend a lot of signings......I can think of 4 of them) but I kind of like the way this was handled (crowd wise). You buy her book and you get a ticket. The ticket entitles you to meet Kathy and get your book signed and a picture taken with your camera. She was not signing any books from other than THIS book store's books. This helps the little "mom & pop" book store's sales as opposed to the big Amazon, Borders, etc. Also, no one got in without a ticket.
There were several groups where not everyone bought a book....those that didn't were turned away at the door. When you bought your book, there was a printed sheet explaining all the 'rules'
I like the way it was handled and I thoroughly enjoyed the characters who call Laguna Beach, home!! Fun!
