Its National Book Festival time again

8 days, 2 hours, 12 minutes...er, make that 11 minutes...until the 2007 National Book Festival is here! I have conned Jeff into taking me and Griffin this year; it falls on my birthday weekend and since we get what we want on our birthday weekends...

This year we are meeting his parents on the way down to D.C. and then staying outside of the city somewhere in Fairfax County, VA (i'm sure I have the details written down somewhere...) and taking the Metro on Saturday morning. I can't wait; over 70 authors in one place, on one day! Mercer Mayer, Rosemary Wells, Jodi Picoult, Stephen White, Ken Burns, Joyce Carol Oates -- a bibliophile's dream. Make that 8 days, 2 hours, 7 minutes...

Welcome to D.C. The most dangerous place in America to hold a book event.

Kidding. Sort of. Have a wonderful time. Bring food for the authors. They may bite around lunch time.
