The Tucson Festival of Books (TFOB) is both Saturday and Sunday. Our volunteer shift was on Saturday morning. By noon there are literally thousands of people all over the place. These photos were taken over an hour before the festival even opened.
We didn't get to go inside this bus, but it looked like it would have been fun!
I liked this booth - Three Amigos and a Lady. All dressed up in their western clothing. And they were all authors of western stories.
The volunteers who were author escorts (walking the author from the hospitality lounge to their speaking venue) all met here. Dave and I were author escorts. We waited for our authors to come out and then we took them away.
Dave's authors never came because a moderator took them to their venue, so he just went and listened to their talk anyway. Apparently, I had the "big guns". My authors were Scott Turow and Greg Iles. I did get to spend several minutes with them as we were waiting and walking around. Their "lecture" was very interesting and funny. Now I have more books I want to read!
Scott is on the left and Greg's head is peaking over the podium. After their session we went to listen to three other famous authors and that was very crowded, but interesting. One author kept talking about a character that was supposed to be a MILF. The old ladies around us kept asking "what's a MILF?" Pretty funny.
