Festival of Books @ UCLA

It's time for the LA Times' Festival of Books!

Apparently I'll be at a booth there hockin' the good stuff. Not sure where, but if any of you swanky folks are heading out to this, be sure to stop by and say hi!! I'll post where, when I know! Otherwise looks like some fun to be had!

And everyone read happily ever after…

Once upon a time, there was a book festival that grew more rousing and fun every year, and would bring together authors, exhibitors and book lovers from nearly everywhere!

Come join us at the 11th Annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. Free to the public, it occurs the last weekend in April — Saturday, April 29 10am-6pm and Sunday, April 30 10am-5pm — and offers something for all ages and interests. Every year, it adds up to be America's largest and grandest literary event…

131,000+ Passionate Readers
370+ Famous Authors
300+ Popular Exhibitors
900+ Loyal Volunteers
6 Exciting Stages
2 Interactive Children’s Areas

And on Friday, April 28, also join us for the 26th Annual Los Angeles Times Book Prizes, a renowned awards ceremony honoring great and noble writers and their works for 2005.

I wish I could be there! I was drooling at the author list!

The only things keeping me away are the Sedaris tickets I have for the 30th. I've had them since August of last year!
