Anyone cool/famous coming to Festival of Books this year?

<p>If not, I'm just going to be studying....</p>

<p>i dont even need to know anything about the event…the fact that it is a festival of BOOKS…automatically tells u that no one cool/famous is coming</p>

<p>to give you a real answer (excuse mnop)</p>

<p>I read the line up, didn’t see too much I enjoyed. Why don’t you look at the stage line up yourself?</p>

<p>Cool talks I’ve been to in the past: Mitch Albom, Frank McCourt, Giada DiLaurentis, Dr. Phil</p>

<p>

I saw Kareem Abdul Jabbar (one of the most successful and famous BB players to come out of UCLA) speak there once and he autographed a book for my D (and I read the book and it was insightful). I thought he was pretty cool. My D also met and spoke with Don Cheadle. She thought that was pretty cool.</p>

<p>That’s the kind of crap kids say in middle school.</p>

<p>Alicia Silverstone will be at the cookbook area if anyone cares. </p>

<p>Last year, my friends and I stumbled upon Ray Bradbury’s autograph tent and went nuts. Definitely the coolest famous person I’ve seen at UCLA so far.</p>

<p>the wayan bros. are gonna be there</p>

<p>lol ray bradbury is def NOT cool…angelina jolie is cool</p>

<p>^ your mom is cooler :cool:</p>

<p>ya i know she is</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is either super ironic or Colbert levels of satire that Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451.</p>
