Book Revue. Huntington, NY.
Live Taping: The Al Franken Show
Book Signing/Tour: The Truth (With Jokes)
Caught The Al Franken road show on it's Long Island stop at the Book Revue in Huntington. Al taped his 3-hour show live in front of a crowd of about 150. Al welcomed guests by phone and in person, including Sen. Barbara Boxer and a local historian who proved that Bill O'Reilly is actually from Westbury -- not Levittown, as he'd have you believe. (Quite funny.) During the show, the indictment of "Scooter" Libby, White House Chief of Staff to VP Cheney came down. (How a grown man can be called "Scooter" and be taken seriously is beyond me....) We all sat and listened to history in the making... awed by Prosecutor Fitzgerald's straight-forwardness and lack of partisanship. It's actually possible for a Bush appointee to be non-partisan. Who knew?
After the taping, Al read a touching chapter from his latest book...dealing with the last moments of his father's life. Then he signed copies for anxious fans. He was cordial and took time w/each guest, graciously agreeing to take pictures with everyone. That's me and mom in the pic above. Along w/some shots from the rest of the day.
