33.Attend a book/music signing...COMPLETED

Recently Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini visited my local HMV to promote his new album. He and his band did a acoustic set before Paolo signed autographs. I loved his first album and this new one 'Sunny Side Up' is even better. He is so talented and still only 22. He is also pretty hot and I tried not to drool too much as he doodled on my cd cover.
