Book Fest
The book fest was fun. We took the metro over and arrived early enough to beat the first wave of crowds. First up we listened to Doris Kearns Goodwin for a bit then stood on line to get a book I had carried with me signed. We wandered around a lot checking out the exhibits.
I met Brad Meltzer who was very personable and talkative. A comic book geek (literally and figuratively) and novelist who also co-created the short-lived Jack & Bobby for TV. I bought a copy of The Book of Fate at the fest which he signed. This will be the first time I read his work.
We met the artist who created the poster for this year's fest and he signed one for me. I'm thinking of having it framed to hang in my office. We didn't stay for the whole event so I didn't get to hear Bob Woodward speak at the closing.
The swag was similar to previous years. Lots of Target sponsorship plastered around including the bottled water.
