Here's Ree! (aka The Pioneer Woman)

Rather than blatantly hocking her new (2nd) cookbook, Ree Drummond regaled a theaterful of folk with apologies for being late due to her battle with static cling, the genesis and evolution of her blog, tales from her childhood, her parenthood, and a song imagined from the lips of her Basset hound Charlie. Then she was whisked off across the street for her book signing at The Brookline Booksmith.

When we finally made our way out ourselves, there was already a rather long line down the block. Ummm... no.

But then I did manage to get a photo of me and Ree back inside the theater before she left! =D

(The benefit of having arrived not too early, not too late, and finding a seat near the front but way on far right edge of the room (by the exit the Booksmith staff ended up taking her through!).
