>Virginia Festival of the Book

>The Virginia Festival of the Book is March 21-25 in Charlottesville. This year the website allows you to browse through the schedule and then save events that you are interested in to your own private schedule, and then save or print or email or whatever. Man, I wish AWP had such a nifty tool–would have saved a lot of flipping through that enormous catalog they called a program. Anyway, there a lots of programs I’m looking forward to, and I expect to be heading over to Charlottesville several times over the course of those 5 days. See you there?
