What I learned today at the L.A. Times Festival of Books

April 26, 2008 by admin

“Well, Leonard Maltin dropped those ones off in a box.”
– The Person in Charge of the Cinematheque Booth Where I Was Volunteering, in response to me asking “where did we get all of these used books that we’re selling?”

“All of your children will live on Alpha Centauri. And beyond!”
– Ray Bradbury, on the not-too-distant future.

Um, and clearly the Mr. Toast booth was the best booth. I bought a watercolour of a depressed, anthropomorphic onion with the caption “Still Alone.”
