Here I am at my booth. Behind me are the seminar panels (Clarey and Rachel and I were actually talking TOO loudly about books at one point and a security person came over to ask us to keep it down!).Rachel and I got there early and spent some time wandering the exhibit hall. Our favorite booth was the art installation called "Cups of Courage: Sisterhood of the Traveling Bras."
These photos do NOT do the bras justice. They are gorgeous! Unbelievable works of art! Here is some info about the installation.
While we were there, I also met two wonderful authors, Michael Mehas who is a movie producer and who wrote the novel, STOLEN BOY and Bill Myers, a tremendously prolific writer of funny and thought-provoking fiction for kids, teens and adults. Great meeting both you guys!And thanks to Rachel who tagged along and kept me entertained on the drive up to Ventura (it takes an hour to get anywhere in SoCal!) and for talking movies all the way home!

Looks like a fun time!
:)
Those pictures came out wonderful enough that I really wish I could have been there too. "Bras of courage" is such a wonderful way to make people aware.
Marie and Christina - it was more fun because Rachel was there! If I had been on my own, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. She made it easy to go from booth to booth and not feel pounced upon! [I always feel intimidated at those exhibits when people lunge at you: try this, buy this, sign up here!]
That exhibit was fantastic! I had a great time spending the day with you!
