Mac here. Adam and I did a great signing at a Barnes & Noble in Tucson, but it started off a little weird. When we got to the table, a man in sweatpants was standing there, eating a cookie. He told us about the University of Arizona game: Apparently a football had bounced off a guy's foot. Then he nibbled his cookie and told us about the University of Arizona game again. This is when Adam left me and pretended to inspect the easel.
Then:
SWEATPANTS: Where are you going next?
MAC: New York.
SWEATPANTS: How's the weather been in New York?
MAC: I'm not sure. I'm actually not from New York--I live on the west coast. I'm heading there to keep touring.
SWEATPANTS: Where are you touring?
MAC: Connecticut, New Jersey, New York,
SWEATPANTS: How's the weather been in New York?
MAC: Oh, I don't know. I don't live there.
SWEATPANTS: Where are you from?
MAC: The west coast.
SWEATPANTS: Like Florida?
MAC: California.
SWEATPANTS: Me too!
He did not buy a book.

ReplyDeleteHe must have thought he was in the library. That's how people act in the library. On both sides of the desk!
ReplyDeleteCompletely explicable. Allow me to explic it. This man is missing important things in his brain. It happens with B&N customers all the time. (I know, I work in one.)
