>Virginia Festival of the Book

>VaBook is coming! The Virginia Festival of the Book 2008 will be March 26-30 and it looks like a great lineup. The preliminary schedule is already online and a quick look through the participant list tells me that a number of people I know from various conferences will be there. Looking forward to it!
