Here we were, getting ready to post about
LAYAPalooza - the upcoming multi-LAYA, pizza slice-laden fest coming to Vroman's Books in Pasadena -- when we found out that fellow LAYA
Cherry Cheva had already posted about it succinctly on her blog (in turn, referencing Vroman's own newsletter!)
And as we say in the writing biz: Why do any unnecessary revisions?
So here's the Vroman's-by-way-of-Cherry lowdown! See you there!
LAYAPalooza!
