Man I always miss the Book Festival because of Coachella and I always briefly (VERY briefly) consider skipping the concert for it because I'm that big of a book nerd.
Ah! And I, being more book nerd than music nerd, always miss Coachella because of the book fest. And every year I briefly (VERY briefly) pretend I'm going to skip it so I can participate in Coachella madness!
You'd think they could coordinate the scheduling better, eh?
