Figures. My best friend lives in the Chicago area and that would've been a perfect excuse to get on a plane. So, naturally, she and her fam will have moved by then.

Excellent. I was hoping there'd be a Chicago signing.

  :'(   No sign of Australia huh? Sigh.. I'm so alone out here.

( Although on a happy note I recommended Storm Front to someone who appeared really interested so hopefully a new Dresden convert ! )

This was...unexpected.

Still very, very excellent for myself, but didn't expect a second signing in the area after being blessed with one last year.

Might spend the seekend up there since I haven't done that in a while.

Yay!  I guess Chicago can get some extra love because it IS the setting for the Dresden Files.  The whole family will be in costume there with our 2.5 month old dressed as Toot Toot.

(this puts us in the running for either best or worst parents.  I will let you decide)

I vote best.  When I eventually have kids, they will be costumed in geek splendor at the slightest excuse.

I have a quick question on asking Jim spoiler laden questions.  At signings if it safe to assume everyone has read the previous book?  For instance I want to ask
(click to show/hide)

Would that be something acceptable to ask in the Q-A or should I wait until getting the book signed to ask in semi-private?

Might be best for semi-private.  Or before you publicly ask your question, ask if there's anyone who hasn't read Ghost Story, to ensure you don't catch anyone off-guard.

Better yet, phrase it without specifics.  Ask Jim when he decided the identity of the killer and the circumstances.

I'd even go so far as to say "sniper".

Can't think of the name of the city he was in last year in IL, is Skokie a lot further away from there. (dang memory, serves me right for having another bday :D)
I believe in True Love, Susan and Harry will always be the one true love, because even reminders of that love will always remain.
