Powell's in Portland, OR!  (please not Portland Maine  :))
Hehe, my father was once invited to speak at a conference in Portland, but nobody bothered to specify which one.  He guessed incorrectly.  Didnt find out until he arrived and the cabby informed him that his Hotel did not exist in that town...

Now that's embarrassing.
About as bad as an airline pilot landing at the wrong airport.

I didn't know there was more than a Portland. Which one is home of the Grimm's?
Missing you, Md

So did he make the best of it, or did he have to make a hasty exit?   ;)

Hey, you can't look at me like that Quantus, and post what you did *L*..ok, so you can!  that was funny.
I believe in True Love, Susan and Harry will always be the one true love, because even reminders of that love will always remain.

Has he ever come to the Northeast - New York City area?

He's been in NYC at least twice since I started working here three years ago.  Each time missed him by  >this< much.   :(

Well, if he ever tries for a fourth time, and I hear about it early enough, I'd welcome the chance to be in the audience. Probably the only way I'd ever be able to.

I would LOVE for him to come to Wisconsin.  Anywhere from Milwaukee to Green Bay, and I'm there.

Not quite there, but fwiw the Skokie IL signing is about 1.5 hours from Milwaukee.

aye, June 4th :)  Chicago proper is roughly a half hour drive southeast of Skokie.  Priscellie posted about it last Tuesday.  Had to shift my PTO but got the week off and will be there.  I shall be expecting to see yourself and chiro as well, if you two have the opportunity:)

I'll have to see.  But if I can swing it, I'm there.
