meeting influential people

My friend Chris was kind enough to take me to the Republican Senate House Dinner and who did I see? Whelp, you guessed it, Sarah Palin! Though I'm not a fan of her politics by any means, it was still exciting to meet her. Some photos I took with my phone while waiting to shake her hand are below.

She said, "Hi, I'm Sarah!" to every single person... and she wasn't as pretty or impressive as I'd imagined, but ah well.
This little Asian lady was so eager to meet her that I decided to snap their picture. She was very impressed that I said "you're welcome" in Mandarin when she thanked me for taking her picture (using her camera).
