I'm glad your event went well, too... maybe people involved with books, translating, publishing, and the like do well in informal atmospheres, particularly when there are book fairs to visit!Lisa C.

Nearly every one was anticipating a schedule of activity, which I did not provide, as I saw the opportunity was to project not often seen views of Arabia.<br /><br />I found the freedom to come and go, write whatever they thought, and to see whatever they wanted was a far better way of projecting the event, as opposed to the old-style broadcasting. <br /><br />Why more events do not adopt such informality and trust of their guests is beyond me.Rupert Neil Bumfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04460239805603476978noreply@blogger.com
