Yesterday was the National Book Festival on the Mall. It was busy, and started raining pretty hard mid-afternoon.

I also got Jeannette Walls to sign my copy of The Glass Castle, which we just read in my college writing class. Jodi Picoult and John Grisham I think won the prize for longest lines...
