The After Party…

By Angel Ackerman on July 22, 2024

If you read the Parisian Phoenix blog, visit the publishing company's substack or troll me on social media, you may know that on Saturday we hosted a Book Lovers' Celebration at the Barnes and Noble in the Southmont Shopping Center (Bethlehem Township, Pa.).

The Book Lovers' Celebration at Barnes

Read more details and see the pictures here.

After the event, I offered our intern Allison and my daughter Eva dinner as payment for their assistance during the day. We decided to pop by Williams Restaurant as it was the sister restaurant of the diner where Eva waitressed in high school. We had already taken Allison to Tic Toc.

We chatted about the event and Allison's and Eva's impressions and the fact that the store manager wanted to offer Allison a job. As we got up to leave, Barbara Sceurman (wife of Parisian Phoenix author Larry Sceurman and patron saint of Paulie, the cat temporarily in our care) called out to us. Apparently, they had stopped for dinner after the event, too!

As we were talking to them, our waitress passed by us all giddy and enthusiastic.

"Did you mean to leave this for me?" she said.

Now, Eva had left a generous tip, but it turns out that she also took off her Parisian Phoenix pin and left that on the table and this waitress was thrilled to have it. So we told her to keep it and she put it on and started showing everyone.

It might be great publicity.

Who knows?

And then I took Allison to Aldi for snacks (and she loved the concept of fancy German grocery knock-offs). A plan emerged that we were all going to watch 27 Dresses. Which, gave me a chance to vegetate on the floor while enjoying Katherine Heigl (and if you followed my recent Grey's Anatomy journey you can understand how much I enjoyed the main character of 27 Dresses who happens to be Dr. Izzy pining over George).
