I was there, wonderful little event, and Stan was great to meet in person. The best part of it was seeing all the young kids in line in front of me. It's nice to see kids pick up something to read, especially something as high quality as Usagi.

Well the event was pretty cool...I have a few pictures (all of Stan giving me my first Usagi sketch). The event was quite small, though it was the perfect place for me to finally meet him. All the stories of how nice he is are true... Thanks again Stan!

The signing was nice. Unfortunately, Carolyn was not sent her complete shipment of Book 21, so quickly ran out of them.

Daughter Hannah enjoyed the Bon dancing so much that we're going back this evening. We also bought a couple of yukata (summer kimono) at the rummage sale area, so she'll be wearing one of those while dancing.
