I got the news from a Murder by the Book tweet. I often go to their book signings so I get their newsletter and follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Houston is probably doable for me, but won't be nearly as fun as Chicago.

Maybe there's a Chicago date later in the tour... I'd rather go to Chicago for a 'regular' signing than  to Houston for a release day signing...

If I could do Houston... I would. But I live a good 3 hours away if not more and I'm not the kind of person who does well in a city like that on her own. Plus it's during the week when I have to work and my boss is a jerk about taking time off even if I can and everything's ok to do it. He's just that way. If it were Austin which is less than an hour away give or take, I can do that... or Sa where i live, I can do that. Easier to take a day off and not worry about getting lost if I'm in familiar territory than over in Houston

I think it's a testament to my bio dorkiness that my first thought upon hearing Austin, TX is "Oh! Congress Ave. Bridge, the world's largest urban bat colony!"

I'm still hoping Jim comes to the Mid-Atlantic.  :D

Oh come on bookie, Houston isn't that bad. I am sure it would still be fun.  ;D

I got to go see the bats once when my cousin was going to UT.
Sad thing is this poor woman with her baby in a carriage was on the wrong side and a bat fell into the carriage and then flew out and got into the woman's hair. She was screaming bloody murder. I would be too I guess. Someone was nice and helped her get it out of her hair.

But yeah... I can really logistically do Austin or San Antonio with the fact it's during the week and it's not too far from Finals. The university hates us taking holidays during the week if it's not necessary but I will take off for Austin if it's on a weekday. I'll do my darndest to get the day off to see JB and get my book signed. :D

If your hair is capable of entangling small mammals it may be time for a new hairstyle.  :D

I'm sure Houston would be fun... well, anywhere with a crowd of forum people would be fun.  But really, you can't beat Chicago for a Dresden gathering... I mean, a group picture with Sue is worth the trip in and of itself  ;D

Great.  Houston is home, but I'm not going to be there on the 6th...
I've got school and it is a tuesday, so I'll be 3 hours away!
If only it was a weekend, I could show up!

Maybe someone else in the family can be there and at least get you a signed copy.

Yeah. I thought that too, but then I remembered I preordered my copy on amazon.  It won't even be in until the 9th to the 13th.
