If you want Chicago's brand of Cajun/Creole, Heaven on Seven is around the corner from the bookstore in Naperville. I haven't had their brunch but I've heard great things about it. I know their dinners are good.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

If folks are really interested in Cajun/Creole food, I suggest coming down for a visit to New Orleans. What? I'm just sayin'!

As someone who has eaten at Celtic Bayou, I will say the food is tasty. The concept of the place is kind of nutty, but the food is great.

heh ... a sign in a local wine shop advertised Gaddafi cabernet - a nutty flavor with curiously disappering aftertaste.

I'm assuming meet-ups after the event are fine, as long as I'm up the next morning to go wherever we need to go,
I'm picturing us getting Amy in trouble for breaking curfew. If the handlers question you then say, "it's okay, I'll be with Buffistas."

Because books.
"it's okay, I'll be with Buffistas."
And yet, if they knew us I imagine that would be less than reassuring ...

Hey, no one has ever been arrested nor have there been any deaths or dismemberments on the Buffistas watch.
Of course, that may not be the standard that some people use.

But those are fantastic standards!

Because books.
Completely satisfactory, I agree.

I love how we are making a sort of buddy system that doubles as watching out for Amy during her book tour.
