South OC here. Sunshine, palm trees, no smog today and nothing left to burn after last October's shindig . . .

I'm flex. We could do Pas, or downtown, or we could meet down in the beaches (Redondo, etc.) if some of the OC folks wanted to head north.

I'm living in Australia at the moment, but when I'm in LA my digs be in Sherman Oaks.

UCLA Extension Writer's Faire (free!)

The UCLA Extension is holding a free Writer's Faire on September 7, 2008. It's a bunch of free 'mini-classes' about writing fiction, plays, screenplays, and creative writing in general. Here's the schedule in PDF format. It looks cool. I guess people who attend also get a discount on any courses they enroll in for the upcoming quarter.

I'm not affiliated with UCLA extension at all; my partner just forwarded me an email about the event. It looked interesting and I figure all the Angelenos are subscribed to this thread. Happy Friday!

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.

Drinks at the Abbey afterward?

I'm more of a Fiesta Cantina gal myself, but the Abbey is quite nice. Then there's Normandie Room, Benvenuto, and a bunch of bars that are probably too rowdy for any proper chatting to take place.

A bar....to chat???? What kind of drunk are you???


:)

Sorry, by 'chat', I meant 'shout drunkenly over '80s dance music and slosh blended margarita on one's companions'. Is that more up your alley? :D
