I haven't been to the book fair before, either. But Neil Gaiman's reading from his new book in the young adult/children's tent and I really want to go to that.
They're now calling for a 50% chance of rain on Saturday morning, of course, so now I don't know what I'm going to do about the bike ride 'cause I have no rain gear. I think I'm going to stare at the weather reports and debate it between now and tomorrow when the early registration closes. Blah

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Due to weather uncertainty, the day-of registration price bump has been waived
I have an extra, cheapie, rain jacket if anyone wants to borrow one.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

I may take you up on that rain jacket offer, but I'm going to wait and decide on Friday. The question is just how chilly will I get sitting in damp clothing for an hour in an outdoor tent after the ride...

I bagged the bike ride, but did stand in line for 4 hours to get a signed copy of Gaiman's new book. Talk about schizophrenic weather--- Half of that time I was squinting in sunshine, the other half it was pouring down rain. Just before I finally got to the front of the line, it stopped raining and a rainbow formed with one end running right into the Capitol building. Irony, huh?
