Printers Row Lit Fest
Jun. 12th, 2016 08:11 pmThis weekend I had occasion to attend the Printers Row Lit Fest in downtown Chicago. There, me and a few thousand other authors, publishers and booksellers attempted to sell our books to a million or so of our closest friends. Saturday was a bit off, largely because it was mid-90s with 100% humidity, but today was cool (mid-60s) dry and breezy. I sold a few books, about what I expected given the nature of such crowds (read "not SF readers") and spent a fair amount of time watching people. I ended up next to Luna Teague, one half of the Timebangers duo, for the duration. Thoughts:
1) Timebangers Book 1 is one hell of a funny time travel sex comedy! You should buy it.
2) Festivals seem to bring out a number of people of whom one wonders how they were capable of dressing themselves, not to say wonder if one should perhaps call somebody to return them to wherever they escaped from.
3) I'm glad I'm a fairly large guy. I watched three profoundly awkward attempts to hit on Luna over the course of the event. Needless to say, nobody tried to hit on me.
