From documentary fanatics (Ken Burns made an appearance) to adults who read kid lit (Chris Van Allsburg, author of "The Polar Express" was there, and so was Clifford the Big Red Dog) to spoken word poets, the inaugural BBF had something for everyone. Flyby is eager for the second edition...

(The big ones, like Spider-Man, are already spoken for.) Comic-book characters can't give concerts or go to a meet-and-greet or record songs for Disney end credits.
