Hi, everyone. Hope you’re enjoying the new October weather. We like to refer to this as Reading Weather, because it’s so much easier to be outside under a tree when you can wear a vest or a cardigan without sweating your balls (or lady-balls) off.
It’s also the month where we celebrate one of our favorite festivals in the whole gosh-darn year: The Texas Book Festival. This totally free, totally rockin’ nerd bash is a two-day gargantuan of a festival that takes over downtown and even the dang Capitol building for shows and panels and discussions and events all centering around books. Small books, fat books, green books, even cookbooks–it’s like a darn melting pot of delicious book stew.
And this year, an idea from all the way over in Saaaaaan Francisco made its way over to lil’ ol’ Austin, Texas for an inaugural night of performances: The TBF Lit Crawl! On Saturday, Oct 22, bars up and down East Sixth Street will feature readings, signings and sightings of famous authors making the most of their biggest fans and their favorite brews.
The Encyclopedia Show will be sharing a special billing with our pals at 5 Things over at Cheer up Charlie’s starting at 8pm. We’ll have bestselling nerd authors Ernest Cline and Jeff Martin joining our fun-filled cast out on the backyard stage. So bring your friends, buy some books and enjoy the crisp Reading Weather with us. We’ll be wearing our finest attire, for sure!
