Hope to see you there!

Aw, no Bostonland?! *sigh* I'll have to imagine your author tour stopping in my kitchen, then.

hey really like that sketch. Any chance of your publishers just filling in the lettering and sticking with that basic concept?

Could every article on Boing Boing be about "little brother" from now on?

I'm really kind of heartbroken by this being at a B&N. Chicago has a ton of indie booksellers and it seems like you'd have been able to set something up with one of them. I would love to go see Cory, but not at a B&N in the heart of the uberrich neighborhood. hell, that's republican territory. those rich bastards don't care about civil rights.

What's Little Brother? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.

I'll be at Anderson's in Naperville tonight, lookin' forward to it. I've never been to a book signing/author discussion, so I'm not sure what to expect. Though, I'll be sure to wear my Threat Level: Doctorow Woot T-Shirt, just so I stand-out even more as a total flaming geek.

While you're in Naperville, I'd suggest you check out Lou Malnati's pizza which is right next door to Anderson's Bookstore for the best Chicago-style pizza ever. Though, Cory, if you're still doing the no-carb thing, all you'll be able to do is watch everyone else have pizza-gasms.
