Ray Bradbury is scheduled to appear on panel at the LA Times Festival of Books held on the campus of UCLA Saturday and Sunday, April 26/27, 2003.

Tix for panels are free but required due to space.

Unfortuanately, there's a note that says Ray will not be signing after the panel.

Ray's panel is on Saturday at 1:00PM: http://www.latimes.com/extras/festivalofbooks/panelsSat.html

I have been able to see Ray the last few years on Saturday of the event by visiting him at the Vagabond Books booth. Craig and Patti have a special relationship with Ray (including publishing a few of his books via their Graham Press). Additionally, Ray has signed a substantial quantity of books in advance, and they are usually available for sale at published prices. Your best bet is to contact Vagabond Books and inquire as to the schedule of events.

Also, you might peruse their inventory via ABE at http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abep/il.dll?vci=5304
