Festival of Books UCLA
excellent day at LAT FOB - saw http://www.roughtype.com/ and http://www.davidshields.com/, Tom Hayden and John Dean. I loved LA today.
This is free. tickets to the panels are 1.00 each. This is the best day a bookworm could have. Publishers and booksellers from around the world have all their wares on offer. If I was a rich woman....but, this has become a tradition for Simon and myself. It was a very good day for us, to listen to thinkers, and writers talk about politics, culture, policy and what matters - Tom Hayden talked about the promise of the next generation, which made me so happy. I realized that I don't have enough friends with grown children who are our immediate future. Those I know make me so very hopeful.
Thinking alot tonight and reflecting. Have made a long wish list and need a trip to the library now!
