This great rockabilly band from Japan blew us away at Rebel Night weekender on Friday. We had just watched 8 hours of bands and music and our feet hurt and we were exhausted, but this band woke us up and made us forget the pain....

Ray Bradbury in conversation with Sam Weller
Wednesday, July 21 2010, 7:00pm - 8:00pm
In conversation with the electronic avatar of Ray Bradbury himself.
Sam Weller, critic journalist and biographer, has put together a hugely entertaining collection of his interviews with Ray Bradbury, the nonagenarian legend of American letters. To help launch the book Mr. Weller will be joining in person. Also "here", via the appropriately science fictional technology of Skype, will be the incredible Ray Bradbury himself. Bradbury will be talking with Weller and taking a few questions from our audience. This is a remarkable opportunity, one of the last, to see and speak with an author nearly all of us have grown up reading.
Space is limited so we do suggest that you come a bit early if you'd like a seat.
