Indeed...
Looking forward to the Cape Town Book Fair at the Cape Town International Convention Center this coming weekend. This will be my 4th fair, and I am looking forward to meeting the authors and publishers - kind of re assuring that some things are still the same. Which gets me to thinking about all the things that have changed the past 4 years....
...2006 - I was still living in Joburg, but was already thinking of coming back down to CT.
...2007 - Back in CT, working for OM
...2008 -
...2009 - ???
Blurry, but some highlights stand out - the Eagle, old Louis B Nkosi - what a character. He went awol a few hours before the main event. We found him, in a bar, down the bottom of Long Street, drunk as a Lord! And he still made it to the function on time....guests of honour - Trevor and Maria!
07 was interesting too, with an expanded floor and a lot more activities...John Van Der Ruits Spud was one of the attractions...
last year we had Wilbur Smith and Max du Preex livening things up and this year its going to be another exciting adventure.
Look forward to seeing you there - and if you need a free ticket...just give me a call 079 352 0590
