Meeting Dooce

June 6th, 2008 . by Erin

I’ve been reading Dooce.com for over 6 months now and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Today I had the opportunity to meet the woman in person at a book signing in Salt Lake, and I’m not going to lie, it was like meeting my Elvis. She is so nice and really funny, and after it was my turn to meet her, I’m sure she thought I traveled via ‘the short bus’. In my defense I was extremely nervous so I’m sure the words that came spewing out of my mouth were less then eloquent. Still, it was extremely cool.

To make the day even more awesome, I got to hang out with two very cool individuals. Nothing like hanging in SoJo with Bags and the leper! I had a blast.

    That’s basically exactly what happened when I met Stephenie Meyer a few weeks ago…short bus all the way.

    I’m sure I would have said something extremely clever and witty.

    She would have asked me to move in with her.

    I would have had to tell I was married and things would have gotten awkward.

    It’s just better that I didn’t make it. How cool for you though!!

    Did you see her on the Today show…or whatever morning show she was on with Kathie Lee? I just wanted to smack Kathie Lee and tell her she must live under a rock!

    I got all weird when I called into a local radio station, I don’t know why… I used a fake name and noby couls see me in Radio land. It is a strange thing… The nervousness

    I worship Dooce. That is a lie. But that is a great story. But I bet she was just as nervous meeting you.
