One of the things I’ll definitely miss this year: Texas Book Festival, October 27-28.

Matt Bondurant, H.W. Brands, Robert Caro, Tony Danza(?), Junot Diaz, Michael Erard, Jewel(!), Austin Kleon, Joe Lansdale, Jenny “The Bloggess” Lawson, David Levithan, Tim O’Brien, Turk Pipkin, Dan Rather, CHERYL STRAYED, Naomi Wolf, and several others.

Go, Texan. Volunteer if you can. Know that I’m jealous.

P.S. I just looked at the perks of becoming a member and all I can say is wow. Wow.
