Vegas Valley Book Fair

Bay Area night photographer Troy Paiva will be participating in the fifth annual Vegas Valley Book Festival this weekend. They will be (their quotes) "celebrating the written, spoken and illustrated word. Located in the heart of the downtown Las Vegas Arts District, this free literary and arts event includes two full days of readings, book discussions, workshops, and spoken word performances." Other writers scheduled to be there include Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club), Chuck Klosterman (Columnist with SPIN, Esquire etc.) and many other writers and artists not named Chuck.
