National Book Festival Prep

I'm getting ready to go to the National Book Festival again tomorrow. But this time, I'm prepared with some new goodies!

I got myself a crate with wheels and a handle. A... bally roller if you will. There's a yellow top that fits onto the front or can be used as a lid or seat. I'm curious to see how it holds up with so many books inside and on gravel/grass. So we'll see tomorrow how it does! I hope very much that it keeps my shoulders from getting hurt as they did last year.

So I've bagged up all the books to keep them dry (despite the lid). They're ready to go.

I also bought an underwater housing case for my digital camera. This should keep my camera nice and dry in the rain. Last year at the book festival, I destroyed my camera by taking a few pictures when it was sprinkling/raining. But this year that won't happen!


I've also written up my schedule here:
