Lions of Tsavo is a permanent exhibit at the Fields Museum.

Thanks! ;D If I ever make it back to Chicago, I know what's on my To Do list.

What, do we have leprosy or something?

Vastly OT, but the book I'm currently reading suggests that what used to be called "leprosy" was actually syphilis.  Puts a whole new slant on the thread here.

What book is that?  That makes no sense at all.  The symptoms are totally different.  Syphilis eventually drives you insane.  Leprosy kills off the nerves and eventually causes necrosis as little injuries add up and don't heal correctly, and causes parts of you to rot and have to be removed.  Not sure I see the connection there.

Yeah, that's what I thought.  ::)  It was Disease and History.  I think maybe they meant that sometimes one was mistaken for the other? 

It was just odd that I saw this thread immediately after I'd read that, so I had to share.

Yes, I vote for a Chicago appearance.
After all, it's Harry's hometown.   ;D

(By the way, the new book is awesome!)

I figured this would be the most appropriate thread to put this on.  I found this site where you can request artists to visit your city and put requested that Jim visit Nashua, NH.  It's not where I live, but it's close enough that I can get there easily.  Plus, it's pretty centrally located in New England.

So if you live in the area, click on the link below to add your voice to the request or request another city:

Come to Chicago, Jim!  Visit Wrigley Field.  Note that it does not have acres and acres of parking!  I'm afraid that if you don't come, Harry will move away and we'll be left to battle the creatures of the NeverNever on our own.  How scarey is that?

LOOK, even if i do have leprosy from rubbing shoulders with the rest of marin, that's no excuse for the flagrant skipping out on San Francisco.  or as we call it, "the city."  cuz we're weird like that.  maybe it's the leprosy.
