I´m in Spain

The festival is over.

I had a magazine interview this morning, then Duncan Fegredo and I were taken to Sacromento, the mountain opposite the Alhambra where the gypsies live in cave houses.

We got back at 3:30, and I did a short signing at a booth. I did another signing at the lounge/snack bar area in the back at 6:30 until 7:30 when I did a short interview/promo for channel 4 television.

We leave early tomorrow morning. We´ll get back to LA tomorrow night.

I don't know anything about it. They just stuck a microphone to my mouth and told me to say something. They did mention Channel 4, though. I assumed it was for the news.

Well, Sergio and I are back in Southern California. We arrived at LAX last night, after spending about 21 hours either in planes or airports.

We had a terrific time in Granada, and I'll set up a travel report soon. The dialect of that region is difficult for me. I don't speak Spanish, but I can usually make out every 10th or so word, enough so that I have a gist of what the conversation is about. But there, I could not. Also, there were not as many English speakers there. I don't mean to sound negative about the people or language, merely to point out my own inadequacies as a traveler. One funny incident involving language: A young woman excited ran up to me, shook my hand with both of hers and exclaime, "Stan Sakai--it is a great horror to meet you!"

According to the newspaper Ideal, the festival was a great success. Last year's attendance was 20,000. This year, it was almost 30,000. It also mentioned Sergio and myself as the most sought after autographs. And it quoted him: "Granada me encanta."

I think it is not for the news, that channel is a kinda new one, and has changed many poins of view of TV here, since they have a very good set of series and they even show Anime (late in the night, but hey, they do)
I'll have to bee seeing it every night...
Well, lets see when is the next timew you come here and if I am able to attend to whatever con it is
