The Festival is Here

Yikes! The Texas Book Festival starts today.

For me, that means looong days and artists and writers and photographers and their books. Oh my! It also means I won’t be online this weekend.

I want to say thank you to all the volunteers who have signed up for the events at the Austin Museum of Art, where I am. You are amazing.

We’ve made changes this year. We’ve moved AMOA’s Green Room – the authors’ gathering spot. Hopefully, this one will be a bit more convenient for them. We’ve also changed where the authors sign. In the past, the AMOA authors signed there at the Austin Museum of Art. This year, they’ll sign in the gigantic Authors Signing Tent (which has been relocated closer to AMOA, as has the C-SPAN tent).

So, come on down to the Texas Book Festival on and around the capitol grounds. Be sure to check out the Music tent and the Cooking tent and the Exhibitors…and, of course, AMOA.

  2. Good luck with the Texas Book festival Helen, I'm sure it'll go off well and all your hard work will pay off! Have a great time with all those books and authors and artists. If I could I'd join you (but it's a bit far to come to Texas from Jo'burg!)

  3. someday I will make it to the festival - I swear! It always sounds just my sort of thing and I will imagine you there this weekend - I will be talking to farmers at the market instead of on their farm. Also fun!

  16. It's now Sunday morning. I'm getting ready to go back to the Festival. Yesterday was fun, but tiring. I only had two volunteers show up all day - yowsers! But made it through. Thanks to all you who came here and commented even in my absence. Y'all are wonderful friends.
