Okay -

Schedules are up for the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books - and I got my confirmation in the mail yesterday. I'm scheduled for all three shifts on Saturday...ANNNND...I have parking for both days. I. Am. Chuffed.

The panels on Saturday look promising...for 'fun'...Ray Bradbury is showing up, so is Elizabeth Taylor and Joseph Wambaugh. Ooh, Laura Schlesinger. As a volunteer, I sure hope her kid stays home. And look there, at 3:00 PM. A panel on reading manga.

I'm working. I'm sure it will be an experience. And a half -

Checking the stages, there are two slots still showing TBD - but no Alton Brown yet.

Julie Andrews all over the place, both days.

I'm going to start squirreling away spare change now. There will be more books in one place than the biggest Borders you ever saw.

That sounds so very cool. And Hello to the dancing cat!

Sounds great. And if you do see Alton Brown, please try to ask if Good Eats will ever be made available on iTunes - I'm sick of having to track down Usenet downloads and the DVDs are crazy scattershot.

Isn't Dr Laura's son serving as a deployed Marine paratrooper these days?

It would appear so. Among other things.

Me? As a volunteer, I really don't want to deal with someone like this.

I've seen the protests during the Book Fair (every year) - nobody gets to kick anyone. It's just not allowed.

You drown in paper, as people want to hand you plenty of pamphlets, but that's the worst.
