My parents are aghast at the idea of me driving from South-Central Indiana to Chicago for a Dresden release party. (Mostly because I'd have to get back down here by 2PM that day, for classes.) Hoo boy, but I'm serious. (I mean, seriously? A -Dresden- release party, in -Chicago,- and I drive a Blue Beetle.)
Might hold out and go to Dayton, though ... It's a tick closer. Will have to wait to see what the Chicago plans seem like. Still. Super excited.
