• Book Launch

  So on Wednesday I got to take part in my first book launch! We left RH at 4:30 pm to pick up the food and drinks to take to the event location. We didn't consider how we were to get eight cases of beer into the building so while A & D were going back and forth carrying the cases, I was on the side of the street sitting on the remainder. There were window washer guys across the street and they kept hollering for me to bring it over. 

  I discovered that the "snacks" were grapes and mixed nuts. Um... ALLERGIC!!! And I have told people I work with that I can't be near them *le sigh* I had to stay on the other side of the room all night, and wasn't even able to get a drink because all beverages were over in the far half of the room. Kind of a good thing cuz i have friggen clue how to use a beer opener thingie, so being assigned to the drink table wouldn't have been that great of an idea... *L0L*

  My job was to take pictures of the event and to assist the author in whatever he needed -other than drink fetching. Thankfully he didn't need me and I just took pictures all night. Apparently I was supposed to get shots of all the bigwigs who showed up, but considering no one pointed them out to me, how the heck was I supposed to know who they were?! It was a total fluke that i got a pic of the mayer! 

  When my boss D got in this morning he told me I got some fantastic shots and that some photos were being sent to Quill and Quire to see if they would use them for their mag *happy dance* The catch being that I was asked to send my five favourites, but what they really meant was to send the ones that showed what a success the event was. 

  Here are some of my favourite shots:
