That… went very well.

If this picture weren’t a trifle blurry it would be my new profile picture for absolutely everything.  I managed to sell 48 of the 60 books I brought with me yesterday– 47 at the signing itself, and one at my other job after the signing, where a customer overheard me talking with a co-worker and started asking questions, and then discovered that I had a card reader and the rest of my books in my car.  Which is why I’m going to keep a Square reader in the car forever now.

I haven’t seen all the pictures folks took yesterday– and it seems like there was a fair number of them– but I’m gonna share two more:

These two lovely young ladies are both former students, and are both Tuckerized somewhere in Skylights.  I won’t provide any more detail for probably obvious reasons but they’re both high school graduates now so my usual policies about anonymity can be relaxed a little bit.  They managed to beat me to the signing, which both entertained and frightened me.  Truth be told, I was a sweaty, gross mess for most of the first half hour or so until the air conditioning kicked in and I got used to what I was doing.  Memo for next time: bring a handkerchief.

And, oh, next time?  It’s not official-official yet, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be at InConJunction XXXV in Indianapolis in July!

More details to come.  For now, though, I’m exhausted, and will be taking it super easy today.
