Tom, can I email you about some logistical issues?
Sure!
Oh, I almost forgot - After the reading, if folks want to hang out at someplace less noisy and crowded than a bar, Miriam said we could have a little gathering / party at her house. She lives in Wicker Park, about a 10-15 minute walk from Quimby's.
If folks are interested then we should figure out how many people so I can confer more with her.
Greetings!
I'd love to be included in any Metro accessible ND viewing when he (and thee) is in DC. (howze that for trippy illiteration?) Just let me know the logistics.
Also, I can vouch for the coolocity of the University of Maryland fantasy art exhibit Toddson suggested. I went the first year it opened. At that time, it was pretty small but so. very. interesting. I learned buckets about scifi book art.
Looking forward to 'seeing' some of y'all...
If I stay in the Loop I presume I'll be close enough to transit to get to Quimby's and around town. Is that going to be dead at night or inconvenient to everybody else? What neighborhood is Quimby's in?
It's like half an hour from the loop on the O'Hare blue line to Damen, I think, or Division. But it's been awhile. It's easy to walk around that whole neighborhood, and way interesting. It reminded me a lot of the Haight.
Taking the orange line from Midway-ish to Damen on the blue line will take about an hour to an hour and a half. Which, sadly, I know from experience.
I wish I was going to be there. :(

Yeah! Quit being faraway girl.
Bought my ticket. Arriving at Midway, Thursday (12/2) at 6:13pm on ATA. Leaving Sunday, (12/5) at 5:25pm. So I'll have some time to play on Sunday during the day as well. Wheee!
Damn poor planning.
Just...come to Chicago! C'mon! Fun will be had.
What happened Steph?
Poor planning, stupid finances, lack of time, and zero desire to drive 5 hours there and 5 hours back by myself.
That
is
grumble worthy. I keep reading all the plans for the NO trip and I get a little depressed because I'm almost 100% sure I can't go. I have to save my money for my brother's wedding a month later (I'm a bridesmaid so I have to buy the dress and I'm getting my hair done the day of, not to mention hotel costs either).
I'm at the San Diego Wild Animal Park with Cass, Billytea, and DebetEsse right now.
