Things I Learned at the Book Festival

wordAlright so I failed to write about my weekend with the Wicked sisters (Pixie, Word Taster, and Zoe).

We had a blast of a time at Word on the Street, the last Sunday in September. Bought lots of good books, ate lots of good food, ahem, corn on the cob and donuts, and generally bashed anyone in our way. Good times.

Some things I learned:

- The lady with the walker motors faster than the rest of us combined.

- Good friends are those that protect you from your fears, no matter how ridiculous they might be.

- Bees like hot peppers and hot dogs as much as they like funnel cake and sweet corn.

- Robert Charles Wilson is so famous that I find it difficult to talk to him. But I did announce his presence and spread awareness around to all the folk, so for those who didn’t know he was there, well they still had the opportunity to get his signature.

- Lorina Stephens, don’t stand up honey, you might hurt yourself.

- Elizabeth May shouldn’t speak in public.

- Don’t make eye contact with Karen Dales whilst whispering about “the lady in the picture” she’ll call you over and you’ll be forced to have a conversation.

- When all you want is corn, you have no time for pleasantries. Or manners. Or table etiquette.

- Walter the Farting Dog is a series of over-priced books, but who can resist with such a catchy character.
