Pioneer Woman Rocks

I worked the Ree Drummond event last night. It was amazing - and the thing that will stick with me about the event was the people, they patiently queued, some ordered food from the Paris and had impromptu parties on the floor away from the queue until their end the alphabet was called. We had people chatting, networking, exchanging e-mail addresses. The staff (us) dealt with customer queries and in few cases complaints without losing our cool, we shared the love with all the local restaurants. It was a welcome shot in the arm for most of the businesses in that area. Ree was lovely, her sister took pictures, her Mum came and chatted with us up at the counter. Every book got signed including the pre-purchased ones. Props to Ree for touring indie bookstores ie small and with limited space to hold an event.
