Went to my first Rachel Ray Book Signing at Barnes & Noble today, and I must say they sure have it down pat. It was very organized. You have to get a wrist band with a number from 1-500. (We were 284 & 286). They call you by 25 numbers at a time, put a sticky on your book (new orange book only will be personalized) a couple others according to the list would be signed, but not personalized. limit 2 books per person. No pictures past the rope. It might sound hoity toity and limiting, but these rules really were for a reason. To get a lot of people through quickly. And it worked. Rachel was gracious, kind, and particularly perked up when kids came up (all kids got their picture with her). My husband and I were able to get 4 autographed gifts, but had we been able to get more, we would've (I would've liked one myself).
She was in a real signing zone, and when my turn came, I said: "Your pasta recipe cooked like risotto was especially brilliant". It got her attention and she said she liked that one too.
By the way, she looks tinier and even more cute/pretty in person! And I never once heard her say sammy or stoup! :D
