Looking for something to do this coming Sunday, September 30?

Head down to the 18th annual Word on the Street National Book and Magazine Festival, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. at Library Square and CBC Plaza.

Word on the Street has grown into a three day event, ending with a jam-packed Sunday full of author readings, exhibits, and performances with literary twists.

In the past I have met Roch Carrier, who autographed my copy of The Hockey Sweater, and watched Baba Brinkman perform The Cantebury Tales in his hip-hop style.

Among the authors this year are W.P. Kinsella, author of Shoeless Joe and past B.C. Teen Choice Stellar Award Nominee John Wilson author of And in the Morning and Four Steps to Death, as well as a performance by a Vancouver Youth Poetry Slam team from the Vancouver Youth Theatre.
