They're great opportunities to hear some awesome new ideas, but they can also be very heavily populated with total arty farty wankers. Honestly, it cracks me up that people line up for hours to see authors whose books they've never read (I always want to yell at them "we're freakin' readers first, right? Right?"). On the other hand, I should get over myself and face the fact that people go to festivals for all sorts of reasons ;) <br /><br />Anyhoo, rant aside, there's usually a 'I'd Rather Be Reading' festival on in Canberra each year (maybe August?) if you're keen to check it out, or else there's the Sydney fest next year. Let me know what you think post-festival!Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-87286381869665377972009-05-27T09:39:50.748+10:002009-05-27T09:39:50.748+10:00Oh, the more I hear about writer's festivals the ...Oh, the more I hear about writer's festivals the more I know I HAVE to go to one... they sound fabulous and I think I'd soak up and love every second.
