[ExI] Book Event - reading/signing LA

[Joshua Job]

Well, I am a graduate student at USC,  but I don't know really any other
transhumanists. There is a Less Wrong meetup though, so maybe they'd be
willing to help?

I don't know anything about organizing events, but just thought I should
speak up. If you were going to do a bookstore, you might try Vromans in
Pasadena (it's independent) or The Last Bookstore in Downtown (biggest used
bookstore I've found,  also a nice lobby area downstairs).
