Weekend in Pics
I’m keeping an eye on the weather channel today and hoping that friends and family are safe in Louisiana. Instead of a proper fest recap, a handful of pictures of the Decatur Book Festival will have to do the talking.
The festival began with between 600-a million kids marching in the "Madeline" Parade
Paste Magazine was offering a festival special - "pay what you want" subscriptions - at that kind of price, we had to get two
While taking a break from the Book Festival - we hit the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival - also awesome
As predicted, we spent lots of time at the Target Children's Stage - here Doreen Cronin reads from "Thump, Quack, Moo"
The McSweeney's tent was offering a "sweaty guy discount" on tons of their books, back issues of the quarterly, and the Believer Magazine. A pile of my money ended up here.
Working on my Brer Rabbit impersonation at The Wren's Nest tent.
It was a great weekend all over town. We are truly sad to have missed this year’s DragonCon parade, but you can only do so much.
Special thanks to Ryan and the gang at Lenz Marketing for extending your fantastic hospitality to the Baby Got Books family for this year’s fest. You guys are the best.

Tim, that’s a great picture.
Have you considered modeling those wooden things with the holes in them to put your head through? I think the first trick would be finding out what they are called, but after that you’re golden.
