Oo oo I know! The
West Hollywood Book Fair is September 28th. I went last year and it was big fun. They have a REALLY good bunch of authors coming this year (including Ray Bradbury! Heard him speak last year and it changed my life!) to talk and sign books. All the local bookstores, small publishers, self-pubbed authors, entertainment, and delicious street fair food too. Plus stuff for the kiddies. If beers are needed, there are numerous bars of differing levels of raucousness to retreat to just a block away. It's at the big park on Santa Monica and San Vicente. It's like a tinier, quirkier version of LA Times Festival of Books.
Who would be game for an AW meet-up at the festival? I'm there for sure, so count me in! If other peeps are interested, I can unofficially organize us.
(For some reason this year's poster is really trippy!)
