I was there. Grant gave me a ride from shop to hotel on a HUBBUHBUBBUH tandem, which was very cool. I kept trying to steer from the back seat!
The book event started with a film. Grant said it was an Oscar-winning French short from the '50s which anyone born before 1963 probably saw in school. I'm that guy..I said, "It's gotta be The Red Balloon." Nailed it. It's an adorable film, and probably has a fascinating backstory. It plays as though a guy with a camera just put a balloon on a string and had a boy follow it through town. There's little evidence of 'film things' like actors and sets. Then Eben did his book talk, which was...I'm not a regular reader of that blog because its level of sarcasm and "edgy" isn't really my thing. Most of the attendees seemed to be more attuned to the vibe, so I kind of viewed it from and 'outside' perspective. Which isn't really the review you were asking for, but I don't feel like I was the target audience..I was mostly there to see Riv people and go for a ride. Which I did!
