1. Wordstock Rocks!

The school librarian and I are trying to organize a field trip for kids who are interested. Why should adults have all the literary fun?

:P

2. Yes, it's wonderful.

They need to find a better venue, but it's still great. It's too bad they never partnered up with the old, also wonderful, Northwest Bookfest in Seattle. The two could have brought something truly stupendous to the northwest.

I'll be there again. It's the best thing going in this part of the country.

3. Ah crud, my favorite author isn't attending this year .. pooh

I missed my chance last year to meet Ivan Doig and was looking forward to catching him this year.

4. I'm lucky

My favorite author, Ursula LeGuin, is there every year, since she's a local.

5. Ivan will be back.

He used to hit the Northwest Bookfest about every other year, so look for him in 2007. He do rock, by the way!
