I know the tours kill you, and Minneapolis is really far away (tho we’re really only another easy day past Milwaukee…) but I wish the Chicago or Milwaukee dates were a weekend. I’d totally travel but the babydaddy is anti taking vacation days so I can go to book reading events.

This is way late, but I’m going to be in Pittsburgh two weeks after your tour stop (my family is there) and I’m now rethinking my plans. Hmmmm…..must look into this.

I was out of town all weekend and am so excited that you will be coming to Mequon! Lucky us! Lucky me!

I am so jealous of those who get to attend. I live in Texas and have all my life so unless the trip is 6 hours are more it is not even considered a long trip. Those who are questioning whether it is unreasonable to go when the trip is less than 6 hrs should go! I sure as hell would. Hell, we make day trips to the Blue Bell Creamery for ice cream and that is a 4 hour trip just to get there. I would go further to meet Jenny and Lucy, maybe not to El Paso which is 12 hours but anywhere closer than that I would do. Just wish I had the chance.

Actually Cinci is on a Thursday which would be much harder for me.

Lexington would work better for me – I can do Cinci, also, though.

If you come to Canada next week we can arrange transport from Ohio. The CBs are gathering again, you might as well join the party.

So the RV will be avoiding that stretch . . .

Even with you guys being the “featured guests” like where you cruise with the rock stars? Darn.

I’ll sign up for a leg as long as you don’t make me go through the Alien pick up zone…you know that lonely stretch of highway north of Tallahassee where the aliens always drop in for new abductees.

Sorry, I’m not lobbying against South Florida. I’m just trying to get her CLOSE to Florida and then we can kidnap her. If you can get Jenny to show up in an RV, I’m on my way in an old Volvo station wagon with no kids, cats or dog! And gay sharks sound so much better than talking everyday to people who really shouldn’t have stopped taking their meds. sigh.

We are all so pathetic, trying to cajole and bribe this poor woman to come to our respective cities. Tsk. I mean really.

(I live on the Oregon Coast. You’d like the coast. You could bring the dogs: my mom loves dachsunds!)

I’d bring cake, except I’ll be sneaking off to this thing during my lunch break, and a cake would never make it through the newsroom intact. News people are pastry people.

what about the train? i love the train. very cool unless you absolutely have to get somewhere at an actual time. even the 3 days across the country from DC to LA is great and there’s so much to see!!

I’ll see you in Cincinnati at JosephBeth!

Who doesn’t love dolphins? You know they’re just gay sharks, right?
I’d love to come down to the Keys. But that’ll have to wait until we strike it rich and can buy and RV. Then I’m on your doorstep. I’ve always thought you had the coolest job ever.

Ummm, I don’t see Montego Bay in that line-up. I found my first Crusie (I think it was “Charlie All Night”) at a used bookstore here over 10 years ago & when I got back to Canada, bought everything that was available at the time. You can reach us by water, too. Doesn’t have to be by plane. C’mon, isn’t it time for an island holiday?

Hey, watch the lobbying against South Florida. I’m trying to work it here with the Betty-to-Cherry-to-Betty shuttling across country. Living in the Keys I’m probably the southernmost blog poster.

Jenny, do you and Lani like dolphins? Want to see them? Swim with them in a safe setting? I can arrange that.

Look at me. I’ve fallen to bribery.

Again, the only problem is that it would cost more money than God has and we’re all broke over here. Although Krissie would be so all over that. She loved Australia when we were there and she’s a Japan-fanatic. I love the idea. It’s just not financially feasible.
