Patti - What a great-sounding lineup! Circum$tance$ being what they are, I can't attend, but sure wish I could!!

Terrie Farley Moran said...

You will have a ball! Guaranteed.

pattinase (abbott) said...

Come one down, Terrie. Unless you're in Fort Meyers, that is.

George said...

That Daniel Woodrell interview with Megan is enticing... I'll see what I can do.

pattinase (abbott) said...

That one just showed up. I'd faint on the spot.

Richard R. said...

Wow, it's a great line-up and will be fun for those who go.

But for me...Noir: swirling into the depths of certain doom, dark, uncomfortable, fated to fail and die, crashing catastrophe, defeat, unrelenting misery. No thanks. Sorry, but I've just lost my noir gene, I guess. Used to love it, but I want a little sunlight, bright future, a happy ending, something that feels good to read. Great festival, but only for the anointed. Or something. I'll stay home and read a pulp or three, or maybe take a trip to the seaside.

It's what's in the newspaper that I can't take. This is pretend.

Evan Lewis said...

This looks too good to be hogged by one city. They should put it on the road.

Todd Mason said...

Pity about Carlin Romano being on any panel, but I suppose he's around.

One of those times I wish I lived in America..
