queensthiefBreaking News.
Passing along a message from Megan Whalen Turner:
I am going to be at the Kepler's Bookstore in beautiful Menlo Park, California at 3:00 pm, this Thursday July 16.
If there's anyone who'd like to feed my latte habit, I'd be glad to chat. This isn't official. I doubt that Kepler's will even know I am there, and if you can't find me, look next door at the Cafe Berrone.
I am going to be in Berkely through next week. I'd hang out in a bookstore here, if there were one. Cody's is gone. Black Oak is gone. If someone can suggest a store still standing, maybe I'll set something up in the East Bay, too, but I will definitely be at Kepler's the day after tomorrow.
Megan
Edit: Here's Kepler's Books' website, if you need directions.
Go, fangirls/boys. Discuss. Who gets to go?

Date: 7/15/09 01:18 am (UTC)worship at the shrinetry to meet the estimable Ms. Turner. Rats. NoCal people have all the fun.Sort of OT, though: WHAT?! Black Oak Books is gone?! It was there in mid-May when I last visited Berkeley - what the heck happened? I know they were trying to find a new space, but now it's gone altogether? The Bay Area used to be such a mecca for independent bookstores, and now all the great ones are gone. This totally sucks. I guess City Lights is the only holdout, and when that goes all hope is lost. :(

IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, I AM IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW. ON A FREAKING ISLAND, AND UNABLE TO GET TO ANY BOOKSTORE BUT THE ONE HERE. WHICH IS NOT THE ONE MWT WILL BE AT.
THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wheeeee!

Not being from Berkeley, I don't know of any bookstores there, besides the totally customer-unfriendly one where I got my textbooks...
Re: Wheeeee!
Date: 7/15/09 11:37 am (UTC)If you don't easily find her in the bookstore, go to the counter and asked to have her paged ("would Megan Turner please meet her party in the Young Adult section - or coffee shop, or front desk, or where ever")
then you don't spend all your time playing hide and go seek in the stacks.

Date: 7/15/09 03:03 am (UTC)My sister used to live in Palo Alto, which is right next to Menlo Park. It really is beautiful. Too bad my sister moved, although San Diego wasn't too shabby a relocation.
I hope anyone who can go has a marvelous time (and writes about it). I so wish I could go.

Well, if BART doesn't strike, and Caltrans runs when they say they run, and my teacher doesn't decide to let us out late, then I might be able to go after class. Hopefully. *crosses fingers that all the ifs come together*
