Decatur Book Festival
All over Decatur
Sept. 4-6
We've selected about 225 authors from around the country, and then there's another 150 that will appear on the local stages. Yep, we're actually closer to 400 than the 300 that we've been talking about. That's mainly because Tom doesn't want to admit that he's grown the festival when we weren't supposed to. Damn him.
Don't ask me for Eudora Welty tribute tickets. I don't have any. I don't even have one for myself. It's a popular show. Really.
Yep, the fourth annual DBF is going to be huge. We've got the best line-up ever, We've got more press than ever, we've got a great team working on this, and we're going to have perfect weather.
