Ricky Martin flew the red eye in to Chicago Nov. 12 from his previous night's appearance at the Latin Grammys to sign copies of his new book, Me ( or "Yo" for the spanish version ) , at the Borders bookstore in Lincoln Park.
It was a long day for everyone as 650 people purchased the memoir, some arriving as early as 3 a.m. that morning. The line stretched around the bookshelves with folks young and old. One gay Latino fan cried as he related how much Martin's emergence from the closet meant to him personally. The book describes this spiritual journey and the process of coming out for the Puerto Rican sensation.
With a new album on the way, Ricky shows no sign of slowing down his vida loca!
