#Austin friends: at the #TexasBookFestival. One of the best weekends in this city for anyone who loves words and ideas. No TCS Press booth this year, but if you see a guy wandering around in a Vets Against Trump shirt, Wilco cap, and blue backpack, say hi! I’ve got free copies of Record of Dissent.
