We went to the 11th annual LA Times Festival of Books at UCLA on Sunday. There seems to be more people attending the outdoor event every year. It refutes those dumb jokes about how people on the West Coast don’t read.
KPCC’s Larry Mantle was present at more than one tent. I saw him at Angel City Press where he was signing autographs for his book, “This is Airtalk: 20 Years of Conversations on 89.3 KPCC”
Kevin Roderick and J. Eric Lynxwiler were M.I.A. when I arrived around 12.30pm but they had been there to promote their book about Wilshire Boulevard.
I stopped to chat with temporarily cool actress and writer Annabelle Gurwitch who wrote the hilarious “Fired!”. She asked me who I was and what I did, and when I began to answer she started talking to someone else. Charming……
Angel City Press is publishing some remarkable books about Los Angeles. I hope to get my hands on “Santa Monica Beach: A Collector’s Pictorial History” by Ernest Marquez.
Here in Van Nuys 
I was there on Saturday and also stopped by the Angel City Press tent. Did you take the 761 Rapid down to UCLA? That’s the easiest way to get there from Van Nuys! (And, at this point, the cheapest, too!)

JZY:
Thank you for the tremendous compliment. I am happy to start an argument where issues (not people) are attacked and discussions and debates can proceed freely.

Andrew,
What you are doing here is no less than a book on Wilshire Blvd. Your writing generates discussions and brings readership of the greater subject matters together. Thanks.
