Five hour flight delay on Wednesday. All materials arrived safely by Thursday. Setup. Lunch. Setup a little more. Los Angeles print publicity panel. Use freakish height to hang lights for a fellow university press. Walk back to the hotel past the Staples Center. Bookforum’s Reading the World Initiative reception. Buy smoothie but decline “free boost.” Watch the Lakers on TV win the Western Conference Finals at the Staples Center. Iron clothes. Skim directory. Logoff.
