Met Shania (finally!) at book signing
It's been awhile since I've been on the boards but I couldn't think of a group of people that might appreciate this more. Bmac and I met Shania (me for the first time) and got her to sign her new book for us yesterday at the West Chester, PA book signing. We got there four hours early like true Shania fans would and were 14th and 15th in line. Shania was, of course, very engaging, thanking us for coming out, shaking our hand (despite the store's employees attempts to push us through like cattle) and just all around being her amazing Shania self. She looked happy and relaxed. Her new husband was there in the background videotaping her. HUGE turnout as you would expect. Despite the unpleasantness of the employees at the bookstore yelling about where we were standing and taking photographs, we had a great time. Well worth the four hour wait time! Without any doubt, she's "Still the One!" (Sorry, just had to make a bad joke like that!). Hope everyone is doing well! Exciting night tonight with the debut of her new show.

Welcome back. Glad to hear of the big turn out at the book signing. Glad you finally met her in person. She doesn't come off as a celebrity either. The book is really good, I am about half way through.

I'm so happy that Tricia finally go to meet Shania! I met her quite a few times back in the day but it was still exciting to see her again. It took me back to the exciting times when COO and Up! were newly released. Lots and lots of good memories!!! Great to see her back. Can't wait to finish her book.

Really pleased that you and Bmac got to meet her in person, I bet it feels like your birthdays and Christmases have come together all at once! Shania has said that she doesn't see herself as a celebrity, even though she's in the public eye, and it's nice to hear she was very engaging with the fans.

At least you guys had warm weather. Try Timmins in 40 degrees below zero for the torch run.

I was there at that signing also! I am still shocked I actually got to meet my hero. I was so star-struck. Yes the employees were very rude I thought also. I had a verrrrrrrry long drive to get there. I'm not from that area never been there. I just wish I could have gotten to speak to her a little longer and most importantly a picture with her. I was shaking the whole time. I could barely get my words out. She was so tiny and gorgeous. And so sweet. She has the most beautiful smile. Reallly tan,too. I thought she was little sitting at that big table. lol I'm still floating on air... I had no idea though that Fred was there. Wow that's so wonderful. I didn't know that....
