Book Signing
Written by Nikki-ann on Thursday, 24 January , 2008 at 9:23 pm
Look who I bumped into today! OK, maybe not bumped in to… more like queued for over 2 hours on a cold & windy high street in Birmingham. I looked extremely windswept and the lovely John Barrowman looked perfect!
JB was only supposed to be signing books for an hour, but I’m guessing he stayed a bit longer (depending on his schedule) as the queue stretched right down the High Street.
I took this photo (click to enlarge) while I was in the queue. A couple of police officers had come in and he asked if he was in trouble. It turns out the male police officer just wanted to take JB’s photo!
When it was my turn I had my photo taken with JB (which turned out awful - I was windswept and the Waterstone’s staff member who took the photo had obviously never used a digital camera before), my book personally signed and a smile, then I was off. Happy as Larry.
JB’s autobiography Anything Goes has jumped the queue and is now next on my pile of books to read. I’m currently half-way through Gary Barlow’s autobiography My Take (the updated paperback version), which is very interesting so far. I’ve also got Richard Hammond’s account of his life before & after his terrifying high-speed car crash while filming for Top Gear - On The Edge - waiting to be read, as well as one or two other books.

Great fun meeting celebs. When I’ve done so I’ve found it strange how one’s ability to speak whole sentences can somehow misfire. Just me, I’m sure.

Congratulations on the signing and meet, and commiserations on the less than capable staff; at least you got a smile though right?

What a lovely thing to have experienced—except for the bad picture that the Bookstore person took…!
And what an incredibly attractive man he is!

I must be out of the loop on this, Nikki. I’d not heard of John Barrowman before.
