The problem with being one of the authors at TBF Live! 2009 is that now I am completely, irrevocably spoiled for any other event.  I have never felt so pampered in all my life.  Not only did we get the red-carpet treatment (this is not a metaphor), but we also got a chance to meet so many hilarious, charming authors we might have otherwise missed in our travels, all while hanging out with thousands of enthusiastic teens, teachers, librarians, and volunteers.  Would I come back if they asked me?  I’m only hoping you don’t accept so there will be room!
