Girls Night Out in Cincinnati!

My friend Leslie and I decided to meet in Cincinnati for a girls night out at a Stephenie Meyer Q&A & book signing for Eclipse. Todd's family watched Fisher while the two of us went out to eat and then went to the bookstore for the event. It was crazy!! There were literally hundreds of people there, mostly teenage girls, screaming over Edward and Jacob and everything about the books. It was pretty entertaining and we had a blast. We plan on going again next year so anyone who would like to come along mark your calendar!

(If you haven't had a chance to read any of the Twighlight Series I would highly recommend them for a fun read! http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/)


Stephenie Meyer answering questions on the stairs...I was a little annoyed when the last question was wasted on a question not pertaining to the books : "Do you read Harry Potter?"

Leslie and myself...we let out our inner teenager for the evening and had a ton of fun doing it!

There were tons of very creative shirts. Next year Leslie and I plan to be a little more prepared...we will make our own clever shirts to make sure we get the whole experience :) I didn't get pictures of the best ones but here are a few for those of you who have read the books. In this picture the girl next to her had one that said "Jacob: Woof me down."

One of the great quotes from book three, Eclipse.

We couldn't believe how many guys were there. The girls definitely out numbered the boys but a little testosterone was present among the hoards of estrogen. There was one particular male there in about his forties whose wife made him come along. He was in shock at how many people were there and how loud all the girls were. My favorite quote from him was "I'm completely befuddled by this!"

There were so many people there that we were assigned a letter of the alphabet and we would stand in line and head up the stairs to have our books signed when our letter was called. Each letter was assigned 30 people...we were group N and the store was still packed after we left with tons more people who were still waiting for Stephenie's autograph.

Fisher was a trooper in the car up the Cinci and back down. I had grabbed some yogurt covered pretzels as a "bribe to be good" snack for in the car...probably not the best choice of snack. He was a mess by the time we got home along with everything he could get his little hands on.

Still recovering from the yogurt attack Fisher decided to have a try at the wheel. (The car was off for anyone who might be wondering.)
