Told you it was coming soon :). On Sunday, April 26th, I drove up to Northridge, picked up Lizzie, and off we went to the festival. We went last year too, so it's kinda becoming a tradition for us. :) We met Sam, one of her friend's from high school, that she introduced me to last year :), and began exploring. For the first few minutes we browsed the children's books and just walked around until Sam got there. Then we went in search of comic books. The most amazing thing happened on our way to the comic books. We passed by the LA Times stage, and who should be speaking but Marlee Matlin! I didn't recognize her at first, just saw that there was someone on the stage signing, so I stopped to watch for a few minutes, then they said her name. I was soooo excited. Apparently she wrote a book, and autobiography, and was talking about it. We were headed to hear Ariana Huffington(sp?) speak, and when that didn't work out we were able to go to Marlee's book signing. :) It pretty much made my day.
Getting ready in the morning
Car ride over(I promise, the car was stopped at a light when she took the picture:) )
Right after we got there, a nice lady asked us if we wanted her take our picture, so she did, then we took her's and her friend's. :)
Marlee Matlin, at the LA Times stage, her book, and getting to meet her. :)
"Longest" story in the world, a conglomerate of different people's ideas, all written down on slips of paper, makes the story 130 some odd feet long. :) Sam paid a dollar and I got to add a sentence.
Sad faces when we couldn't find funnel cake at the end of the day.
