I am so tired that I'm pretty much gonna let the photos tell the story tonight. I went to a breakfast moderated by Chelsea Handler with three amazing, storytelling authors. Left there and went to the ABA author's award luncheon where I was sat next to my best bud Caldecott winner Peter Brown. He and I made fun of anything that could be made fun of. Best part of the luncheon was watching Mac Barnett, another bud of mine, and Jon Klassen turn their acceptance speech into a stand-up comedy bit. Then came time to get serious, I went to a very intimate talk with Journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, Jeremy Scahill. If you don't know who he is, google him, and go see him movie Dirty Wars, coming out in June. I got on the shuttle back to the hotel and chilled for a sec. Got dressed and just as I was about to leave my partner in crime Sunny came in from her day's adventures, she met Dr. Ruth, I was super jealous. I waited a half hour for a taxi which made me super late to Suzanne Collins and Walter Dean Myers event. So I could only choose one of them, met Suzanne got her to sign her new picture book for my son, and got my request in for her to visit our store. Flew out of there grabbed a cab and headed over to the Disney party where all the cool kids were. Met Kareem Abdul Jabbar, got an advanced copy of his new book and sat next to Elizabeth who wrote one of my favorite new books Code Name Verity. Made it back took a power nap and wrote this mini-blog. See you tomorrow, new adventures to come.
