First I am going to list some links to great recent stuff of Steph.
SM on Good Things Utah, make sure you watch both clips. So great.
Be sure to vote on the poll before you watch it and find out the answer.
As for our signing, well it was fabulous. Thanks Dazz and BFB for your the awesome seats, 2nd row!You know it is hard to describe. Not much happened until "it" happened. We just waited for hours in an auditorium of the most Twilight devoted groupies, gawking at shirts, listening in to conversations, starting on own worthy of others eavesdropping. It was entertaining to watch the many many ladies who are much more showy about their Twilight love. We all worked hard to submit interesting questions for SM to answer, but none of ours were. We stretched, took potty breaks, watched other sillier and less "cool" groups have their pictures taken in front of the stage, and then had some taken of our group. Then suddenly, they announce that Stephenie herself is going to start signing. It was as loud as any rock concert as she came on stage. People were quickly lined up and even though we had about 20 minutes before our turn I still couldn't think of anything worth while to say during the 5 seconds I was in front of her. I was excited nervous but she doesn't intimidate. As much as she amazes me she seems like the type of person you could see yourself being friends with. I mumbled something about putting her "boys" in order of favorites and she agreed it was impossible. But then I didn't have a chance to inform her it was easy. I would have said the obvious; Edward, and a bunch of other guys after that. I like Ian more than Jacob, by the way. But Jacob more than Jared.
After I left the stage I kicked myself for forgetting to tell her I had three boys similar in ages to hers. Oh well, I left her a letter and hope she gets a chance to read it.
She signed for about an hour and then left the stage for a while. More waiting and then out she came again for questions. She launched right into them. To me she seemed a little nervous but funny and just the coolest person. It was fascinating to hear her explanations and stories.
Then suddenly after about 20 minutes, she abruptly stopped. She walked over to the signing table and we all just sat waiting for more. But there wasn't any more. She only talked for 20 minutes. Waaaaah! It took a long time to un-stun ourselves. We didn't want it to be over. Eventually we packed up and went to lunch at the Dodo, for some lovely conversation and excellent food.
It was truly such a delightful experience. Add your own versions, ladies.
Here is a link to a video of our signing. Here is one to the Thanksgiving Point signing. These are both great. There were some new and interesting questions answered at the Denver signing. And the Deseret News has an article about the Salt Lake signings. (and the TA they mention is some other group. Didn't know they existed when we picked our name.)
