Of Excerpts and Weird Al Yankovic

Forgive me my flakiness on the excerpts as of late. I've been stressing about a lot of things that don't really require my stress. Most of them centered around one man: Weird Al Yankovic.
So he's gonna be in Roseville on Sunday (24th June) to sign and promote his latest childrens book... and because he's gonna be in town and THAT CLOSE I'm obviously going.
Now before you give me weird looks let me explain you a thing:
When I was 11 years old my mom called me out to the living room and told me there was something cool coming on the TV and that I should watch it because she thought I'd like it. It was an hour long music video special for Weird Al Yankovic, leading up to a concert or something (and then after was his behind the music, which is BEYOND worth the watch, seriously) and from that day on I was in love.
Weird Al is my idol, my hero, and just generally my favorite human being. I know the lyrics to practically all of his songs and I've been to three of his concerts (I also almost got to go see the Al's Brain exhibit at the Orange County Fair in California, but no such luck).
So IT'S A HUGE DEAL for me to be able to get that close and actually get something signed by him. I have been freaking out for more than two weeks now about it and I'm still terrified that I'm gonna jinx it. 
So I apologize for having to sort of halt the excerpt extravaganza, but have no fear! I'll be posting lots of extras from my books ALL SUMMER LONG.
