You Should Go To The LA Times Festival Of Books This Year -The Toast

If the following lineup holds any promise or interest for you, that is.

You’re probably not interested. Sorry for bothering you. [carefully studies nails] If you’re, like, not busy that weekend, or whatever, you can learn more about it here.

No big deal. (It’s the weekend of April 18 [not that you care {you probably already have plans}]).

Well, it will be a short panel, because we all know women can't be funny. Something to do with the uterus, I don't know.

Dude. What. Don't wanna drive? Get thee to Oceanside. Metrolink Weekend Pass, all day ten bucks. Or take Amtrak. Then the Expo Line.

If I weren't already scheduled to be playing nerd music in Toronto that weekend, I would CANCEL ALL MY PLANS AND FLY TO LOS ANGELES.

I actually know (read: met a couple times and once crashed a house party belonging to) Ann Friedman, and of course everything Mallory does is glorious, so obviously this entire event was crafted for me and thank you for that.

*tears*

Sometimes, weekend grad school schedule isn't awesome.

You are all required to go to this for me, and report back with pictures and awesomeness.
