Hey guys I got to meet Julia Alvarez. About 100 people were there, mostly women. She read excerpts from Quinceanera and answered a few questions. It was exciting to meet her, to meet the lady behind the writing. She signed my book, Quinceanera, for my daughter who'll be 15 at the end of the month. I told her my favorite novel is "In the Name of Salome", and suggested she should write more of those :glasses:. Took some pictures on a disposable camera so now I have to wait til I finish the film to develop it, maybe I can put them on disk and post one of them. It was very nice to meet her, she is a very friendly, approachable and down to earth lady.
