Yeah, it's definitely nice. And only twenty minutes away from me.

I thoroughly enjoyed the two signings I attented for the Dresden Files. Jim was generous with the book signings, as someone mentioned before, and was just a friendly and interesting person to speak with. I would love the chance to be able to just sit down with the man and talk casually and pick his brain (and not necessarily about the Dresden Files).

It would probably also help to determine where you want your character to go, or what impact you want that scene to have later on. That might help you find where you want to take the scene.

Not sure how late, exactly, Jim was signing. I think it was about 9pm ish when they were round 150 or something like that? I know that Jim said he'd stay around after everyone's number had come up and sign more stuff, if people had more than just the book they bought, and one they brought from home, which is what the staff was allowing in the intial signing so that everyone could get through.

Another great signing and Q&A sessions by Jim. 'Twas a good night.

Wow, glad I pre-ordered when did. I thought 85 might take awhile, I'd hate to be back at 300.

*Looking at forecast on yahoo* Looks like a 78% chance of rain tomorrow. Thunderstorms, from the look of it.
You might have to go as Little Pink Ridinghood then.

It's easy enough Alilisa. Anderson's is located on West Jefferson Avenue. From the book shop, you'll want to head east on Jefferson until you reach Washington St. From there, hang a right (south) onto Washington. You'll go another block until you reach Chicago Ave., which will be a left (east) hand turn. On the corner of Washington and Chicago Ave. is a Barnes and Nobles. Heading down Chicago Ave., just past the Barnes and Noble is the parking garage. There will be an overhanging sign on the entrance that will tell you just how much parking is available inside the lot.

There is also a free parking garage a few blocks east next to the Barnes and Noble bookstore.
I'll be going in to the store on Tueday morning to pick up my copy of the book (what can I say, I can't wait to read it).
I will be off all day on Wednesday, however, so if someone does indeed want to meet a little early to get something to eat, I'm available.

I'd say early then. As MX said, anytime after 2pm is going start to get busy. You'll want lead time to find parking and get to your location.
I'm more worried about timing when to leave for my interview this week.It's at 3pm.

You're quite welcome. I myself will be at #85.
Early would be probably be best for anyone anyway. Downtown Naperville can be quite busy. Especially during rush hour.

True, but if you preorder, as Lany79 helpfully noted earlier (Thank you Lany!!!), they give you a ticket number. I did mine over the phone and the lady, Amanda was her name, was very helpful.
I'm actually going to head up there sometime next week. I want to scout the area again. I always have enjoyed the Riverwalk when I went, but I haven't been up to that general area yet this summer. I'm going specifically to hunt for the best parking spots. It can get really busy in the summer time. Mind you, the sights, both the 'Walk and the people, can keep you occupied.
The Anderson shop is actually located the next block over from the River Walk area. Lots of places to sit, eat, shop, hang out and such. A fun way to spend a day.
