Last night I attended Kathy Buckworth’s (@KathyBuckworth) book launch for her latest book Shut Up and Eat: Tales Chicken, Children and Chardonnay (review on EverythingMom), and all I got was one picture:
I vowed after attending Eric Ehm’s (@yummymummyclub) book launch that I would take more pictures, that I would capture the moment, one of those rare nights that I’m out just for me, no kids, no family gathering. But nooooo, I disappoint yet again.
Perhaps I’m too shy, thinking how awkward it would be to take pictures of people I don’t know (and know). Maybe I’m too busy talking and meeting-up with everyone. Those two points probably play some part but the more likely reason is I just forgot, forgot I had the camera, forgot I wanted to take pictures. Hopefully some of the other lovely ladies in attendance grabbed a few great shots.
Overall the evening was a lot of fun. The room was packed. When I arrived people were crammed into the kitchen space and flowing out the doors. My only glimpse of Kathy was her legs in the angled cooking mirrors at the front of the room (at least I think they were Kathy’s legs, I’m not sure). There were (tiny) glasses of wine and snacks. Eventually everyone braved the windy, lightening flashing, thunder rumbling weather outside to walk to a local pub for more drinks and food (if you were lucky enough to get it from our not so quick waitress).
It was loud. It was fun. I’m glad I went. I could get use to this party scene. Who’s book is launching next?
