Jan 21st-- at the UMass bookstore on 151 Merrimack St in Lowell, MA

So what do the Fates do? Dump the biggest snowfall of winter on us!

Result- almost no downtown shoppers, few customers.

Except-- my friends and family. The team came in, fought the storm, and we had a good crowd anyway. No down time, I was chatting the whole time.

10 book sold-- and the cookies were great!

So we're declaring victory. Thanks to all who showed, to those who bought, and to the marvelous staff of the bookstore!
