LAYAPALOOZA

Hey readers, 

Here are some of the things that are going to happen at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena this Saturday: 

Things that are going to happen on Saturday

1.  Free pizza.

Yes.  Totally free.  I mean, I don’t know if this is going to be free pizza like, eat pizza until you feel bad about yourself and really think about getting your membership renewed at the 24 Hour Fitness type free pizza, but I’m pretty sure that you’ll be able to scam a slice or two.  And that alone is worth the price of admission. 

2.  Me.   

I will be there.  Granted, not as exciting as the free pizza, but if you’re looking for somebody to talk to about A) free pizza, B) book stuff, or C) how I made eye contact with the guy who plays Spock in the new Star Trek when I was jogging one time, well, this is your lucky chance. 

But I’m not going to be by myself.  Oh no.  This is a fully sanctioned LAYA event. 

Okay, maybe should stop here and explain a few things. 

Question: What is  LAYA? 

Answer:  The Los Angeles Young Adult Writers = exactly what it sounds like. 

Question:  So are you guys like a motorcycle gang or something? 

Answer:  Well, we don’t have any official colors or anything, but yeah, take out the motorcycles, and that’s pretty much right. 

And the LAYAS are gonna be out in full force on Saturday.

Okay, let’s get back to the other things that are gonna happen on Saturday: 

Things that are gonna happen on Saturday (continued)

3.  LAYAPALOOZA  

I’m still not entirely sure what that means, but I’ve been assured that it’s something pretty special.  Also, I think I’m going to sing or something. 

So, if you’re interested in free pizza, pleasant chit chat with writerly types, hearing me sing, and the entertainment explosion that is LAYAPALOOZA, I suggest that you head over to Vroman’s Bookstore on Saturday to check it out.
