B&N Roll Call

[Marcella]

Hi everyone,

I haven't been active online in the fandom for a couple years, and even when I was, it was brief, but I wanted to share my little story with you I met a few of you there tonight, and I just want to say what an honor it was to share the evening with you.

When I got up to Stevie, the first thing I did was ask if I could shake her hand, which I did, and told her how beautiful she looked. She thanked me and was very gracious and sweet. As she looked down to sign my items, I said "You know, I just have to tell you that I have the biggest crush on you." At first, she didn't really respond, but then after a second, she said "You know I could be your grandmother." I didn't hear what she said the first time, so she looked up at me and repeated it. I told her I didn't care at all and repeated how stunning she looked. I thanked her, and that was it.

I can't believe it was as amazing as it was and I only had to wait 4 hours. I got there at 4 after running from class uptown and expected not even to get in, but the last few rows of chairs were filling up just as I got there.
