Hotel? Schmotel!* Unless you really want your own space. I would be delighted to host you. Not to mention I have a whole lot of couch karma to repay. *g*

Sorry about not being more proactive on this, life has been kee-razy of late.

You're probably going to get off the train in Durham. What day are you coming in? We should be able to arrange a pick-up.

* My brain compels me to add "Everybody go hotel, motel, Holiday EEEEEN." Apologies for the earworm.

Well, I didn't want to presume... but I will gladly accept your offer of a couch. Train options are few, and I will now put it in email...

I was going to offer my couch too, but I think smonster's is more likely to provide a peaceable night. Let me know if I can do anything. Or if you get stranded in Durham - we're a few blocks from the train station.

I have finally uploaded SF pictures. Better late than never, I suppose.

Start here.

It might make sense for Sparky to stay with y'all Sunday, I guess. We'll work it out. Won't leave the poor gal wandering the streets.

OMG Sparky! Yay!

Great pics, Amy!

Hey Chicago area folk! I'll be visiting your fine city in less than two weeks (we arrive the evening of Oct 11th and leave the evening of Oct 15th). Is it possible to plan a group brunch or lunch or... any other kind of outing?

We (I'm traveling with my friend M) have tickets to see Wicked on Friday Oct 12th, but other than that our schedule is pretty wide open.

smonster and flea, train arrival info insent!

Java: Yup!

David and I have an exciting show planned for October. We will be exploring the traditions of Halloween as well as explore the rich history of Chicago magic. There will be some new material, so those of you who have already seen the show, which is most of you, may want to pop in tonight and see what is new.

Thanks for your support and I hope to see you this evening.

Nicole, I think I'm available before 2pm on the 13th. I'm not sure if I'll have to work on the 14th, but I should be able to brunch or lunch or something.
