No excuses, but I will assure you we do multiple proofreads on it. We also have in-store signage, an take-home event calendar, and placed a listing ad in the Journal Sentinel, where it was correct. Since you bring it up, we actually had substantially more people than one of her other events in town.<br /><br />2. Getting a Mo Willems event has become a much more difficult proposition than when he once appeared at a Schwartz shop. He's now a superstar of the kids' world. We actually did a proposal for an event--which had to be offsite and seat at least hundreds of people. We know there is a very, very small chance of wining the Willems lottery; you can't even imagine what we promised to do, if we are successful.Daniel Goldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536282665165900502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475165538485567980.post-8727392711369091142009-09-26T20:32:12.582-05:002009-09-26T20:32:12.582-05:00An evening (7ish) event at Shorewood Schwartz for ...An evening (7ish) event at Shorewood Schwartz for Mo Willems was absolutely overflowing.

It was correct down in the body, but the listing of events had it on 9/17 at 2:00 p.m. I wrote it off as being a school day, and was disappointed when I learned, after the fact, that we'd missed it on Saturday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
