Your energy inspires me, Kate! I've only ever done one festival, in South Carolina of all places, and loved it. Such an amazing, uplifting (exhausting) vibe. I had my own Paul Keating moment there too - a nice older lady came to chat with me and ask directions (my only signing line visitor), while the amazing Claire Legrand was next to me and had a massive line full of cosplayers and crying fans. So wild.

Agree to this! MY first festival I sat next to Mem Fox -- she had a line out the door. I had on person buy a book and another ask where the toilet was
