My Evening with Young House Love

...well sort of.  If you consider me waiting in line for 1.5 hours then having my book signed by the duo, then yes (!!), I spent the evening with Young House Love.  

Sherry and John are on a book tour and their original NYC date happened to coincide with Hurricane Sandy, so obviously it was cancelled.  It was rescheduled for tonight (yippee!), and a friend from high school and I decided to go together.   

At each of the other events, the lines were out the door and around the corner, so I offered to arrive early (5 p.m. for a 6:30 p.m. event) and wait in line.  To my astonishment, I was the first one there!  I awkwardly loitered for a couple of minutes until I saw some other girls doing the same.  After a few minutes we started chatting and quickly passed the time.  It was so fun!  We chatted blogs/DIY/spray paint (!!) and everything in between.  Then, I got my book signed...and Sherry commented on my fur "come on over, girl with the animal on!"

Here we are...you know, hanging out:

There was wine and seltzer and popcorn:

And now...on to dinner!  We went to Ushiwakamaru, which was excellent. 

We both started with a seaweed salad made from four different kinds of seaweed:

Which I followed up with six pieces of salmon sashimi:

My friend had various sashimi: salmon,  scallop and sea urchin (the edible kind, not my version). 

Do you read Young House Love?  What are your favorite blogs?
