Now I am getting nervous. The book launch is on Saturday and I have made plenty of lists: What I have to take, what I have to buy, what I have to ask others to help me with and so on.
Yesterday I had to swing by the venue again because all of a sudden I realised I don’t even know where the toilets are and then I was told the fridge is broken. So I will have to organise a chilly bin for the milk and the butter. I don’t have one of those.
Today I went to the shops to buy flour. Surprisingly, the 1.5 kg bags were more economical, because they were on special this week. So I bought 8 packets of white flour and 4 packets of whole meal. The lady at checkout was so curious, she couldn’t resist asking me what I was doing :). I knew that will happen. Honestly who would buy 12 packets of flour in one go. It wasn’t really that cheap that it justified hording. So I gave her an invitation to the launch.
The worst thing is, I have absolutely no idea how many people will show up. I have had some replies to my emails and a lot of people said it is a great idea. I didn’t ask for RSVP as it would make it too official and I really would like for people to just drop by.
Best wishes for Saturday, hoping it all goes well.
Thanks Tony. On the actual event I can rely on my autopilot, which is very comforting for me to know. It is the preparation that makes me nervous. But I guess the autopilot works because the prep was thorough :)
Viel Glück! not that you will need it. Hope to hear great things of the day.
goodluck and have fun
Thanks a lot Jessie. Once I am there I will have fun :)
How many puppets do you take? And which ones?
I think I will take ten or so. And the usual culprits. The cover boy of the book, Devil, Mouse, Fairy Godmother, Alien….
Will your book be for sale on the net?
yes it is, you can get it either on Amazon or on CreateSpace.(i shouldn’t say that, but Amazon is cheaper and the shipping is cheaper as well :)
Perfect, I will most definitely grab myself a copy. What you do is amazing, I absolutely love it all. Well done, and much luck :)
Thank you so much Jessie, I really appreciate your comment. I hope we will have heaps of nice photos to post from the event tomorrow.:)
Wonderful. Looking forward to it :)
