okay...

...I'll admit it. I didn't go to a single festival event today, after two very long days and nights at the festival (and also at work).

I pledged that tonight I would stay away from the festival, plug away at the book review I have due this weekend (ack!) and maybe go to bed early.

Sure, I'd check my email every so often to see what my fellow bloggers had come up with, but I wouldn't spend another evening with a laptop searing my lap, another evening giving myself virtual papercuts.

But as you see from the excellent contributions from both Daria and JS, this wasn't possible.

Ah well...

Tomorrow will be a compromise. Two readings in the morning (Brenda Hasiuk, Lois Braun, and Janice Kulyk Keefer) but also a nap in the afternoon.
