Alton Brown Meet Up

I MET ALTON BROWN!!!

I can not BEGIN to tell you how excited I was to be invited to this event. A HUGE thank you to WholeFoods for hosting! Since high school, I’ve been watching Good Eats with my family.  I have more dvds than I’d like to admit and a couple of his other books as well.

Picture time:

What a nice welcome! Loving the cover of the book.  They’re my favorite episodes as well.

I was SO nervous at this point.  Yes, I brought some dvds with me. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Here’s how the convo went.

Me: “Hi nice to meet you Alton.  You’re awesome but you probably already knew that.”

Alton: “Aw, I don’t think so but it’s nice to hear someone say it! I’m a big dork really”

Brief argument about the difference between nerds, dorks and geeks takes place and I giggle, become even MORE star struck and take this picture.

Posing for the camera. Can you see that? His arm is totally around me… LOL I kid, I kid (but it IS people).  Wondering what the signatures on the books said?

“Cook smart” :-)

Onto the nervous eating now:

Group shot with fellow bloggers and our freshly signed books- the cover folds out into a poster.

I’ve started tho thumb through the book and all the extra tid-bits of information and pictures that didn’t make it into the shows are fantastic!

Time to lay my still star stuck head to bed.  See you soon.
