I went last year and got several books signed. There was a lot of waiting, and I had to time things right, but it worked. Had a lot of fun, and read in line. :)

For best enjoyment, skip the book signings (lines too long) and take advantage of the many free author talks. Arrive early for the best seats. Come by Metro train as parking is severely limited. Bring cell phones as the event is HUGE. Enjoy a fabulous literary day!

Bring an umbrella in the event the sky is overcast (which it usually is) . Merely bringing an umbrella will cause it not to rain during the hours of the festival. :)
