Calendar Event Discussion / Re: Jim in Chicago (Skokie), IL - June 4
« on: June 02, 2014, 08:28:23 PM »
I don't know if I'll make the meetup beforehand, but I'll look for people at the event.  I'll probably have my bright red Red Court t-shirt on. 

(Here's my Facebook page in case anyone wants to get in touch).

I'll probably just check out the Barnes and Noble early, probably be there by 5-5:30.  I'm hoping to be off the roads before rush hour hits hard and heavy.

Inconceivable!

I expect I would be there between 4:30 and 5:00, depending on what kind of traffic I run into.  I'll probably have bought the book already since the store isn't far from me.

I think I work until 3:45 that day, so I'll be heading Skokieward after that.

Some people record or take photos during the Q&A and I've seen some people have their photo taken with Jim (quickly) when it's their turn in the signing line.  I guess checking with the venue would be a good idea, since each venue might have its own rules in place.

I believe that this Barnes and Noble requires you to buy the book there to be admitted to the signing.


I think that in the past (correct me if I'm wrong), Jim has been willing to sign three things per person, per turn.  But again, this would be something that the venue could probably change if it wants to run things differently.


(I mentioned this briefly in another thread but, for anyone not familiar with the Skokie area - Skokie has two Barnes and Nobles.  Depending on how you GPS or Mapquest your way to the event, make sure it's taking you to the B&N at Old Orchard Center and not the one on Touhy).

I'm definitely going to the signing.  Before the signing depends on what my work schedule is like that day.

I'll be honest, I have no idea what Epic Burger is even like - I just get mad giggles every time I see the name.  (I'm unfortunately unhelpful as far as Skokie dining goes; that little area around the Old Orchard Center has mostly chain places).

The bookstore is right near/in a shopping center, so finding a restaurant shouldn't be an issue.

I've enjoyed many an Americano at the ol' Skokie Barnes and Noble cafe.

(If you're GPSing your trip, pay attention to the address - Skokie has two B&Ns)

Sure, MX, you want to bring it back closer to WI again and we can get together once more and bring Chiro, too, and maybe meet all the ones we missed the first time?

Hey, better yet...we need a huge fundraiser for our accessible/integrated playground redo here in Janesville...want to bring him to this area and do that, accomplish two things at once, then we can drag others from MN, IL, WI, IA over too! After or the next day, we can all take a trip to Chicago to see Sue!!

It would be lovely to see you folks again - and anyone else, too.
