I got up and my mother was preparing the appetizers that were to be served that night. I finished preparing some things and went to take "junk" to DD Actors Studio.
After lunch madness began showers, clothing, hair, water bottles, rush ... and more couches.
My father drove him to DD and then go home and finish to help my mother. With us, my good friend for many years, Manu, who came from Seville to give me their support (Thanks Manu!). Arriving in DD, and along with Ana Sanguino (Owner of the place), Manu and I prepared the presidential table, chairs, decorations, etc ... Soon after the actor made his appearance (and great friend) Pakomi Eder, and began reach the audience.
My parents is 
were delayed, and with them my sister, actress Angela Warren (I had to open the presentation.)
"They will not arrive on time!" I thought, but luckily I was wrong, because then I could see down the stairs to the place where I was: the ground floor of the premises on which he was to take place the presentation.
only remained Angel Jimenez, director of eRide Editions, was not expecting too much, was smiling, accompanied by Miguel, an author who will soon publish eRide.
So todo estaba listo. Cada vez legaba más gente y todos se encontraban ocupando ya sus asientos.
“Comencemos” dije.
De este modo, Ángel Jiménez, Ángela Conejero, Eder Pakomi y yo nos situamos en el pasillo tras la mesa presidencial, a la espera de ser presentados para poder hacer nuestra aparición frente al público.
“Oh, oh” dije de repente. Me acababa de dar cuenta de que no había avisado a nadie para que nos presentara.
“¡Eder!” exclamé “¡No he avisado a nadie para que nos presente!”
terrified at that moment we turn and we saw that with us was the bathroom of the girls. There, in front of the mirror, the talented actress Esmeralda Fiol retouched her makeup.
"Esmeralda, you have to introduce" I begged.
"But ... But ..." began to say it. But it was too late. Eder and I draw from the bathroom, I gave the script and said
"Just read this." 
So there she was totally surprised and in front of a hundred people who looked at her expectantly.
introduced us (nicely) to each, and were making our appearance and taking a seat, accompanied by the warm applause.
So start the presentation was "Annabel".
Angel Jimenez said a few words and led to Angela Warren, actress, my sister, whom I love above all else.
His speech was very emotional and very interesting. (Thank you, sister). Could have been listening for hours, recalling stories of our childhood and so many moments we shared. I had to make great efforts to contain tears.
(Trivia: in the words of Angela, I was thirsty. I tried to open the bottle of water, but not more open. Eder told me, in whispers, how. I did, but spilled the water on the table, on my papers and on the sleeve of my jacket).
When Angela finished his speech gave the floor to Pakomi Eder, actor, friend, who gave a touch of humor to the evening with a speech that also touched me because, after those words filled of humor, one could see the friendship that unites us. Eder
I gave the word: "Well I nervous" touches you, Tony. "
I started talking. I had written my speech, not to read it, but to guide me, but nerves betrayed me and I lost a couple of times. Fortunately, I was told later, was not so bad a thing, so I ended my speech is satisfied with the work.
Audience questions were used to terminate the act, but what I did not expect was the book signing to be held then and would last over an hour. Thank you people who bought the book and asked me to sign it! I was thrilled and excited. Finally, Annabel, whom he had dedicated so many hours, and had pages, cover 
to, back ... And there were people who had bought it! See those people with a copy of ANNABEL in hand, is priceless :-)
Thanks to all and each of the attendees.
during the signing also got to meet Oscar Luis Mencia ( books in abundance), (without which this blog would not have come into existence. [...] Oscar hehe).
was an incredible day that I will never forget, and he wanted to open it, my blog.
Thanks again for attending the presentation of Annabel, Angel Jimenez, Eder Pakomi and Angela Warren, for joining me on the table, and DD Actors Studio for allowing us space.
