I volunteered for an 8 hour shift at the PBS booth on Friday November 9, 2007, for the Miami Book Fair. Sandy & Richard were great at organizing and coordinating, and made sure we had everything we needed waiting for us.

I had a pretty good time actually, passed out a lot of flyers and info about PBS and yelling at people attending the fair as they wandered by, "trade books with other members, absolutely free!" to get attention.

You'd think that free book trading would be a no-brainer and an instant hit at, gee, a BOOK FAIR, lol, but boy, did I get quite a few totally dismissive and dubious looks when I said "Free"...they think you're trying to sell 'em something, lol. I found that mentioning that I was an unpaid volunteer seemed to help allay some suspicion. :)

Anyway, it was cool, I'd do it again...always nice to help support PBS - after all, the more people who sign up, the more titles we've all got access to!
