Anyone been to the Chicago Lit Fest? Printers Row?

[Sandy321]

Printers Row Lit Fest 2011 will take place on June 4 and 5!

The Printers Row Lit Fest is considered the largest free outdoor literary event in the Midwest with seven stages featuring more than 100 literary programs. The annual festival draws more than 125,000 book lovers to the two-day showcase and attracts more than 200 booksellers from across the country displaying new, used and antiquarian books. Held on the Near South Side, the Lit Fest stretches five city blocks - on Dearborn, from Congress to Polk.

I've never been, but was thinking about hopping on the train - I went to the website that had pictures - I printed the map and the list of events - but honestly its really hard to figure out!

I read that Julie Andrews was going to be there - I wanted to find out if we need tickets to hear her - and now I cant even see if she's going to be there! (did I make that up?)

so I know its a long shot, but I know there are quite a few Chicagoans around so I thought I'd take a shot in the dark here!
