Freedom To Read Dallas Event Tomorrow (1/22)

I'm going to be there and I'm gonna be all by my lonesome with no friends. Is anyone else going?

It's just a speech thing I think. No Hank, just John (allegedly). It's at the Dallas Public Library.

I wish I had seen this sooner! I went and I was by myself as well. I made some friends while I was there, but it was kind of a "Hey, can I hang out with you guys for now?" kind of thing.

It was! Did you get anything signed by him or get to meet him?

Oodles of fun! The camera was right in my line of view so it was hard to see/hear him, but I'm glad I went. Got my book signed, shook his hand, then when I walked away, starting crying. I'm a huge dork.

I didn't cry but I was shaking so much while I met him and after. Now that it's the day after, it almost feels like a dream or something. My life is complete.

He probably thought I was such a crazy person. I am hard of hearing and can't hear deep/low tones very well which basically means every male in the world is difficult to hear. I could see him asking me a question when he signed my book but I just kinda nodded and stuck my hand out to shake then walked away.

I'm sure he's used to it lol. I pretty much did the same thing. From what I remember, I was somewhere near the front of the line and then somehow it was my turn so I said hi, and he said hi..and then he said nice to meet you and I shook his hand. Then I gave him my stuff to sign and notes I wrote for him and Hank and he said "aww" and then I think it was over and I walked away.
