My friend Liz took this picture at Book Expo America in NYC. In this picture, Stephen Colbert is signing a blad of his upcoming book. For me. The inscription reads "To Breanna - Happy Birthday! Stephen Colbert" and is accompanied by a small drawing of a cake, which he labeled "cake."
Needless to say, this was the best birthday present ever.
