Tonight Donald Miller did an in-store event in Murfreesboro, TN. It was in conjunction with his latest book “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years”.

When Don arrived a group of kids were singing patriot songs in front of the store and made it hard to hear. There were jokes about throwing books and yelling shut up, but everyone kept commenting on how cute the kids were so they were left alone. Don answered questions while the kids sang and people huddled around close to hear. Once the kids got through with the PA system it was wheeled over and they let Don use it. I guess we all rank lower than cute kids, but I do know parents get nasty when their kids don’t get proper attention…I guess to keep the parents from rioting our group was last on the list.

Once Don got the PA system he read ch.2 and ch.3 from his book. People laughed and it was funny so they had the right. (see below for Don reading ch.3)

With questions and reading it lasted about an hour in all. Afterwards he signed books. I bought a copy of the book even though I had a manuscript. I want to be able to mark up the book and make notes. It is a truly great book that everyone should own. In fact you can buy it from amazon.com

It was a fun way to spend part of a Thursday night. It was interesting to hear insights about reading, writing, Political thoughts,publishing thoughts, and other random topics.

Here are a few pictures from the night:
