Not really.  Maryland and Delaware have more in common with states above the Mason-Dixon line.  So does Northern Virginia.  Maybe Mid-Atlantic should just refer to those three.  :-D

Which is why I personally group them with the northern states.

I'm voting for Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA.  Currently their idea of a good author to have visit is R. A. Salvatore.  I can throw in extra guilt since I've got a candle in the window for a husband deployed to Afghanistan.

You're in luck!  Jim is coming to NorWesCon in SeaTac in late April, only 40 minutes away from the McChord AFB!

Boy isn't this just my luck he arriaves when I am scheduled to go home to North Carolina for the first time in 3 years.  *Sigh*  I guess I'll just console myself by reading Ghost Story when it comes out.

How is it that the dapper Mr Morden is the ONLY person to suggest the Twin Cities, Mn? I mean, it's a straight shot up I-35 for Mr. Butcher, and 2/3 of the flipping state live in the area! Visit one city and take care of a whole region? No brainer! We love you up here, my man!

...

And I'm only about six hours east of there.  I'd TOTALLY make that!  Still pulling for Milwaukee, but Twin Cities would be cool too.

What about Boston?! :) I saw his tour from last year and he was barely on the east coast. He was in NY but then the closest he got after that was Ohio.  Boston will treat him well, promise!!

Promise him a nice stuffed quahog wrapped in foil straight from a beach shack and I bet he comes!

....for that matter, I'm on my way.....keep mine warm.

I think Jim should be booked for a week long signing in Aruba, consisting of 2 hours of signing on Monday and 2 hours of signing on Friday.  I don't live anywhere near there, but I think Mr. and Mrs. Butcher have earned it (on the publisher's dime of course.)
Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

Why are my lights still on?

Nice one!
Yes, I think Jim should appear at my local pub. Where no one (but me) will know him or ask him damn fool questions or tell him not to die before completing his opus.
He could just get quietly legless on good British ale.
Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, verily, he was totally pissed off

I wholeheartedly support this. 
Just....with my luck, he visits during something I can't duck. Like my thesis proposal defense. (Hey, it could happen. I'm supposed to this summer.)
