Last Saturday, we got up early, foregoing our normal day to sleep in in order to get a spot in line at a local Borders bookshop. The reason for all of this was that Kara's favorite author, Jeff Kinney was making an appearance to sign his latest work. Kinney, or course, is the author of the extremely popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and Kara has read all three volumes. She is eagerly awaiting the release of the fourth.
We arrived in the line at 9:45AM for the 1:00PM signing and managed to strike up friendly conversations with the very well behaved crowd. We were moved to the final line at 11:00AM. To everyone's suprise, Mr. Kinney made an early appearance and began signing his books over an hour earlier than scheduled.
Not only did Kara walk out the bookstore with her first signed books, but she made the best of the opportunity and struck up a conversation with Mr. Kinney. Pictures were taken and I'll try to post them ASAP.
