usullusaAhhhh.
Today I went to a reading by Jaida Jones and Dani Bennett and it was full of awesome and win. And poor Stephanie had to drive half an hour to my house to drop my book off so I could bring it with me and get it signed.
And by today. I mean yesterday. Because it is now 1am and the train ride from Grand Central to New Haven is sooooo long. I'm so glad I'm actually moving to New York in August and then I won't have to make these ridiculously expensive, long trips whenever I want to do something awesome. Because nothing awesome happens in Connecticut. EVER.
But the reading rocked and I spent the entire trip there quietly keening "Clara Clara Clara, we're going to meet Jaida and Dani. Clara Clara Clara." And then Clara would laugh and pat me on the shoulder with a sort of worried look on her face. And then when we got there Clara and I waved our hands around a bit from sheer glee and I kind of made this sound. It was a combination of a high pitched giggle and a croak.
And then they read bits of their book out loud and answered questions and let fans come near them, though god knows I wouldn't have, because you could tell most of the fans were shoeboxers, and as I said to Clara: "Fandom is a deep, dark, scary place."
So basically it went well.
