HI, JOsh. We're in Birmingham for the book signing! Three generations of Palin supporters -- me, my mom and my two daughters. Our line numbers are 44-47 and we are soooo excited we'll get to meet her this afternoon! We camped out overnight for the wristbands. I'll check in with you when we return on Tuesday.
