So when my friend shared a link with me saying that he would be at the Baltimore Book Festival, I was VERY excited by the opportunity to see him.
And then I thought "Holy Crap! You know who else is signing at the Baltimore Book Festival? ME!??!?!?!"
I am signing at the same event as my frigging hero. Which is so amazing and also makes me just a little bit sad... because... it means I won't get to see him. I have to be in the author tent during his talk, likely. So I won't ge tto talk to him.
To remedy this highly unnacceptable situation, I am initiating an official conspiracy. I need 5-10 good men or women who are going to see Sherman Alexie talk. I need them to wait in line. I need them to have him sign a book (trust me, I can supply you all with copies of his books). Then, as he signs, say "There is a rookie author in the author tent who thinks you're cooler than Justin Bieber and it would make her life if you walked over there and said "hi."
You know I'll do this for you. Just like I expect that if Jarome Iginla ever shows up in Maryland (I have no idea why this would happen, but whatever) you would do the same for me!
ReplyDeleteYou know he'll be at Goucher in September if you want to see him there.
