Brattleboro Literary Festival - A Shill
If you find yourselves within the vicinity of southeastern Vermont this weekend (and want to duck inside out of the forecasted rain), come to downtown Brattleboro for the 4th annual Brattleboro Literary Festival.
I'm planning to see John Irving, Iraqi-exiled poet Dunya Mikhail, Andrea Barrett, and NPR's Dave Isay. I also have a special bone to pick with Katherine Paterson, who made me cry for two weeks after I read Bridge to Terabithia when I was eleven.
Yes, there will be books; there will be authors; and this being Vermont, there will be hippies. Come enjoy them all.

Why aren't things like this going on when we visit the farm? (By the way, we're still visiting the farm, right?)
There are things going on when you're there. It just so happens to be a work weekend instead of a literary festival. By the way, if you have one, you guys should bring a sleeping bag...
The guy who wrote "Wicked" - Gregory Maguire - spoke tonight, but I didn't know till it was already going on.
I am going to try to go see Katherine Paterson tomorrow (at my church!).
