Other bookstores, Allyson --
There's Once Upon a Page in Montrose, which is tiny, but they like to do local authors, especially local kid authors. Also, Children's Book World on Pico is a good one. Mrs. Nelson's in LaVerne (which is far) does a ton of book fairs etc. so it's a good spot.
What about Dragonfly DaLou? They have a biggish eventish space. and Sean Maher shops and does activities there for his daughter.
ZOMG, KC is getting 2 TJ's!!!! One will be about 5 minutes away from me!
I am SO HAPPY about this.
Hi!! I skipped massively. How are people? I am currently in a hotel in Atlanta instead of on a flight home thanks to Delta.
My hotel room smells, but not as much as the first one they put me in. \\o/.
How are folks?
Awesome!
I really wish I hadn't thrown away my toothbrush before I left though.
Perkins!
Trader Joe's!

I loved that place when I lived in La Crescenta.
Excellent. Another satisfied customer! Glad you liked it.
Hooray for Jamaica! I am in a hotel in Mammoth Lakes, after a long motorcycle ride through the Mojave, which was amazing and beautiful and way wicked HOT. We stopped at Manzanar (the internment camp for Japanese Americans), which is saddening but incredible. Even more incredible, they have an interview with George Izumi, who is the father of a good friend of ours.We knew her dad was in Manzanar, but not that his story was part of the exhibit.

I'm waving in your direction.
