On the front line at Fast Company's first magazine signing event. . .

We invited Mike Rowe, host of Dirty Jobs, and our cover subject of our February 2008 issue to sign copies of the magazine at a local Borders in Los Angeles today. This was a first for Fast Company, and Borders which never hosted a magazine signing event before.

We were all excited to see how the fans reacted to Mike and his story being the focus of a business magazine. I arrived 2 hours prior to the start time and there were already die hard fans waiting anxiously to meet their hero.
