Oh, hey!  I didn't see this thread.  Great!

My girlfriend and I will be there, for sure.  It'll be nice to meet some of you guys.

I know, it would have been great to see you again, MX, I had so much fun last year and really needed a break away from this horrid rt.  I was so psyched to get working on the costume, which yes, I know, should have been finished by now, but I still have to make the mantle...just not sure how to do it :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.

Call the store hosting it; they'll have the information (or, rather, SHOULD have it).

Kinda glad it isn't in Chicago proper.  Friday nights up there are traffic intense, to say the least.  Not overly familiar with Skokie, but I'll be up that way early in the morning to scope it out, get my book/number then probably catch a flick, depending on my mood and what is showing nearby.

Not planning too much ahead of time other than showing up, honestly.

Shibby, you're from Kalamazoo?  My wife and I both went to K College.  I think Skokie is far enough that hotels shouldn't be that much of a problem.

Since I'm back out here again, I'll probably be able to come to this!  I hope I get to see some of you.

(Maybe I can find an apartment in Skokie.  :P )

are you near - Cincinnati ? Lexington ? Louisville ?
I'm driving from Cincinnati, Ohio to the Kansas City Cold Days signing & can take 1 or 2 passengers. NO SMOKING, no people who smoke. Why K.C. when Chicago is closer ?  CHAIRS in an auditorium (K.C.)   :vs:  hanging from the ceiling in a bookstore (Chicago).
IF ya wanna ride, send Facebook friend request to - Mary Bridgeford (Ohio) & reference on message-     Cold Days book signing in K.C.

Kalamazoo, eh?  Me and the GF are driving in from the Detroit Metro area.  Unfortunately we're making a long weekend out of the trip, so carpooling isn't an option.  :-/
... But it should be a kickass time!

Does anyone know whether or not there's any McAnally-Like pubs nearby?  That'd be a fun detour after the signing for more conversational hangings-out.

Small world... I use to repair computers and printers at K College and Western as well all the time.... I did that from 2003 to 2008 when did you attend?
