Hey Hey, ALA - Art Spiegelman Rocks!

I'm down in Philly this weekend for the ALA Midwinter show. In large its a pretty subdued event, which is OK by me. Lots of travel lately so a laid back show in a city within driving distance is AOK by me....

The highlight thus far was spending time talking with Art Spiegelman (!!). We were working hard to bring him to New York ComicCon, but alas he is out of the country at that time, a situation he bemoaned when we chatted. We are, however, planning a big event at BookExpo with him in a totally new format for the show. We'll be announcing that soon, and it's going to be awesome, so keep your eyes here.....

Today I've got a few meetings to hit including a chat with the founder of Library Thing on a few ideas I've got for him, then I'm off to Atlantic City for a $49 room at the Tropicana and the comedy stylings of Mr. Don Rickles. Oh yeah.......

Great blogs o' fire. Great to catch up on all the BEA news via your blog. I was at the Anime Fest in December and it was fantastic!

I am in LA and have published a book in Spanish. NOT BY A NON-PUBLISHED AUTHOR! It was presented and sold at the International Miami Book Fair last Nov. 2007. Whom should I contact for distribution at the Los Angeles book fair?

WOW! Was I confused, better yet: confusing! What I meant to say was, that, before this, the author of the book I published, was an already published author when I embarked in this venture.
