Northeast New Jersey.

Screw NYC. Gas + Tolls + Parking = $80-$100 just to get there. I like Jim and all his books but in this economy thats just irresponsible.

There is a small bookstore in Ridgewood NJ that has done a lot of author signings over the years. Or there is a HUGE Barnes & Nobles in Paramus NJ

There are lots of great places in Illinois he could go!  Sadly, Normal is much too small, and we only have one chain bookstore left now that Borders has closed.   Naperville isn't accessible by train, so I had to skip it, but there are some really good bookstores in Chicago proper.  Not to mention Champaign-Urbana. 

Quick segue:  I think it would be amusing for Harry to do a job in the actual 'state' of Illinois.  Chicago is pretty much a city/state in its own right, and has little or nothing to do with the rest of Illinois.  If only because there are so many hilarious place names.  Cairo = Kay-row,  Vienna = Vie-anna, San Jose = just like it's spelled, literally, Versailles = Ver-sails.

I'm from South Jersey and I find that taking the train up to NYC is actually fairly reasonable (Train was $30 round trip and the subway was like $3), plus you don't have to worry about driving in the city or finding parking.  I used to always think that going up to NYC was going to be too much of a hassle or too expensive, but it really is rather affordable if you take the right form of transportation.  Plus, the opportunity to meet Jim is priceless.  He's a pretty amazing person (on top of being a fantastic author).

Jim was in CC Philly a few years ago for a convention.  He stayed at a hotel right next to my office.  I found out about it a couple of days AFTER the event!!!

still can't believe i missed it.   and he hasn't been back to philly since.

I love finger sandwiches. The distal phalanges have such a nice, delicate crunch.

Anywhere in Australia...but, yeah, I know, doesn't travel well. If I ever come to the States, I'll be sure to come visit wherever the hell Jim is going to be at the time!

Please come to Asheville, NC!
I'm an avid fan of all of Jim's stuff and know many in my hometown who are also.
Plus we have good microbreweries and good food. :D

Philadelphia, since it's probably unlikely for him to show up anywhere in New Jersey nearer me.
