Hillary Clinton Makes Book Signing StopBlustery weather and long snaking lines couldn't keep thousands of Austinites from camping out for Hillary clinton's visit to Austin on Friday.
"We're getting a head start," Austinite Zita Wright said.
They woke before dawn and crowded the streets all around BookPeople for a look at and a book from Hillary Clinton.
While politics drew a lot of this crowd, one little Austinite and her mom got up before dawn for more personal reasons.
"It's pretty hard to get a kid up and in line to come for the book signing but she's pretty excited about it," mother April Angele said.
After all this little six-year-old has something in common with author, First Lady and Senator Clinton.
"Because I got named after her," Hillary Angele said.
"So I really hoped she'd have the chance to meet the person that inspired us to name her and it's a little sooner than I expected," April said.
Now little Hillary has her own copy of "Living History" her mom hopes she'll be inspired to go out and make some history of her own.
"I don't know if she'll be in politics or not it's up to her, but whatever she does I hopes she sees she can be anything she wants to be just like Hillary Clinton," April said.
A couple protestors did show up at the signing Friday but weren't there for long. Senator Clinton headed back to New York shortly after her signing Friday.

So "Blustery weather and long snaking lines couldn't keep thousands of Austinites from camping out for Hillary clinton's visit to Austin on Friday" to meet the Hidabeast,,,LOL!
Note that I misspelled "Hildabeast" in my earlier reply......but that uncapitalized "C" in "Hillary clinton" was in the ORIGINAL report.
