Hey, don't complain. You guys get Eddie Izzard, who seems to think that the US only exists as California and New York (except for skiing in Colorado).

(as long as we're on the subject of avoidance...) So Jim, where's the love? When are you planning to make your stop in Alaska? We like to read up here too, you know!

Hey! I'm in the San Francisco Bay area, and I grew up in Missouri. There are a lot of us Midwesterners out here!

Agreed...Heartland or as it is more commonly referred to, the Middle of Nowhere.

After Jim signs or personalizes the books some of you have ordered from The Signed Page, I plan on going to his event here in Seattle, recording it with my webcam, and placing it on the website for you guys to watch and listen to.  :)  Although that is a very small consolation to actually being in Jim's presence, at least it is something, right? :)

Hurrah!  I was lucky enough to meet Jim at New York Comic Con, but he only had about 10-15 minutes to actually talk to the SciFi Friday audience.  I look forward to hearing him when he has a little more time to speak!

Don't let the big dead dinosaur scare you either.  I've visited Chicago, and it is a great city.

I haven't been to Chicago since before I moved out of Wisconsin. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if they still have the The Light and the Darkness lions at the Field Museum? I didn't find out about them until I'd already moved, so if I saw them, I didn't know it at the time.
