Come on down to the LA Times Festival of Books at USC, on Saturday April, 21 and Sunday, April 22. I'll be signing copies of CFLASC at the Wilderness Press/Keen Communications table, which we'll share with Travelers' Bookcase. There isn't a map yet, at least not one I've seen, of who's going to be where. It's promised to be a huge event--mostly free--with dozens of authors reading, hundreds of presses and bookstores exhibiting, and tens of thousands of attendees over the course of the weekend.
OK, getting there car-free. Unfortunately, the Expo Line light rail won't be open until the following weekend, oh well. Frequent free shuttles from Union Station are promised. You can get to Union Station on the Red, Purple, or Gold rail lines, Metrolink commuter trains, the Silver Line transitway bus service, and numerous buses, including Big Blue Bus 10 express from Santa Monica, and the 704 Santa Monica Boulevard rapid.
USC is served directly by the following routes, most of which are pretty frequent:
Downtown DASH line F, which comes south through downtown on Flower St.
Metro bus 81 from Eagle Rock via Figueroa St. ( Hill and Flower Sts. in Downtown LA)
The Silver Line transit station at 37th St. (stations in freeways can be weird)
Metro 460 semi-express from Anaheim (Disneyland) and Buena Park, also at 37th St. sta.
The 204 Vermont Ave. local bus and the 754 Vermont rapid from East Hollywood
Line 200 on Alvarado St. to Macarthur Park Red Line station and Echo Park
Line 38 on Jefferson Blvd. (to the Washington/Fairfax "West Los Angeles" transit hub)
Line 102 on Coliseum St. west to Baldwin Hills
Metro bus 550, to West Hollywood and south to San Pedro (not frequent)
Broadway (.5 miles): 40, 42, and 45 local buses, and the 740 and 745 rapids
So you can get there! Come by and give me your critique of the book.
