The champagne has been opened, the beers are chilled (but not too chilled, because Kevin doesn't approve of super-cold beer). There's more food than you'll be able to eat, half of it picked up from the local middle-eastern deli, because they're just so good. Hummus, baba ganoush, tabboule, grilled shrimp, pita, dolmas. Gado-gado with peanut sauce. Chili-lime chips and guacamole and salsa verde. Cherry pie, blueberry cake, brownies, gulab jamun.
You're surrounded by friends, talking late into the night.
The perfect way to celebrate the paperback release. I only wish more of my friends could have been there.
Sounds lovely! Wish I could have been there too!
