There are about a gazillion entries here, but I'll post in the name of fatalistic hopefulness! Yay! It would be wonderful if Jim could come out to Alpine, Texas. There's a university full of nerds (last year we hosted our first Big Bend Comic Con. It was tiny, but enthusiastic), and a fantastic local bookstore called Front Street Books. Some of the nicest people I've ever met work there. It's a million miles away from any kind of city, and about 20 miles away from the sun, but it's a great place to be and tons to do, especially if you enjoy looking at the outdoors. To give you an idea of distance, it takes me about a two-hour drive to go to a decent movie theater. I've never been able to make it to a con (too far, $$$), and he would have a small hoard of grateful fans if he could visit here. Hope all is well with him and that he's enjoying life!
