Not much to say. Didn’t attend the con and didn’t miss it, either.
We did go in on Saturday for Kelly’s birthday, which is always a great time! We picked up cupcakes from Carolyn’s and pizza from Mellow Mushroom. YUM! We also popped in to pick up Kelly, Ted and Drew for dinner at the Porter on Sunday. That’s about it. Nick will have pix up at his site, I’m sure (nickmizgala.net)
Anyway, not attending the con was juuuust fine. No stress. We went to the Decatur Book Festival on Sunday and it’s totally NOT worth going to. Unless you’re a kid. No matter how hard they try to tell you it’s for “everyone” it’s really just a thing for kids. The bulk of events and booths are for kids. Meh. We’ll pass on it unless there’s a specific author we’re interested in.
That was our long two weeks and I’m just glad to have some downtime. Nick is nursing a cold and we’re planning to lay low during September.
I’ve been to better bookfairs – and even the kid stuff was not so great. But I did get out of the house, and ate a hella good taco. So I deem it a partial win. I think the Arts Festival is more fun…
and let’s not forget the awesomeness of the stuffed snoball. Worth the trip all on it’s own.
