Me Geeking Out Over the Festival of Books
Sorry about the poor lighting in this next video. I just wanted to get it done and couldn’t wait for a time when I would have good light. So you get me in all my…pinkness.

It’s awesome that you had such a wonderful time! I have to say though, I’m a little jealous!

It’s terrible but all I can remember of Wil Wheaton is that when I was a teen I had a poster of him on my wall because I thought he was cute!

I’ve tried every year to make it to LA for this festival, and it has never happened. Next year….

Your videos are fantastic in all of their geekiness. I’m so impressed at how comfortable you seem in front of the camera. I always feel like a total goof.

You were high as a kite after you attended those panels! I’m glad you are able to share your experiences w/ us as it’s impossible to go to everything.

It all sounds like so much fun. I think talking their ear off is better than what I’d do, which is totally clam up and forget how to talk entirely.

I’d have been just as excited as you after the Festival. How can a person possibly type enough to explain all that fun?! These vlogs are the perfect solution and I’m quite enjoying them.

Next year I will be ready for this festival. I appreciate you vlogging for us and all the tweeting you did to keep us all updated, and yay for Wil Wheaton. Also on the second video my eye line kept focusing on your cute dog, she sat so still I was trying to figure out if she was real or a stuffed animal haha.

Hello Geeky Girl!! I purposely didn’t post the pic I took of you and Wil in case you wanted to use it here.. I also have that pic of you ‘high as a kite’ after you made Katherine Dunn’s day!!
I’ve told you several times already, but I just loved meeting you and spending time with everybody!

I appreciate that you show yourself as YOU — “open mouth, insert foot”. Don’t you wish we had a rewind button on what we say sometimes?!

Somehow I’ve never heard of the Festival of Books! I am going to have to plan to go next year!
Thanks for the fun video. It’s cool to see who the person is behind the words.

Hey, lady! I am so happy I got to meet you at the FOB. I wish I had gone to the Publishing 3.0 panel–you made it sound awesome! And I really debated about going to the one moderated by Michael Silverblatt. His show Bookworm is one of the smartest book shows I’ve ever heard (KCRW is the station, if you want to find the podcasts), though he’s slightly pretentious, he always gets authors to really, really talk about their books. Also I’ve always been intrigued by Pico Iyer, so I really should have gone to that one! So glad you had such a great time, and I’m definitely coming to dinner next year

Great videos! I look forward to hearing more.
How was Kevin J. Anderson? He’s one of the nicest authors I’ve had contact with through my blog.
