Brutons is fine with me. I should be there for about 6.30 or so.
Well, I’m definitely not going to make the 31st. Aunt’s funeral up north. 
(My apologies, I should have altered the thread title way back when, when I saw I’d made an error. We’re talking Tuesday, Jan 31. Right?)
Yeah, this Tuesday. Crusoe and I will be there.
My wife and I will be seeing Ed Zotti socially this weekend; if you’d like an autographed copy of one of the books, email me… and what you’d like Ed to write. I’ll do me best.
No time to get Cecil’s sig, sorry.
Well, I was there from about 6:20 to 8. I went around three times during that time asking various groups of people if they are from The Chicago Reader. No response. Eventually called it a day and went home.
What happened? Where was everyone else?
Aw mate! I’m really sorry!
Me, C K Dexter Haven, Bonzer, Crusoe and Ghost Who Walks were there from about 6-8pm. We were sat at a table by the door.
Sorry we missed you.
Did you tell the bar staff where the Chicago Reader table was? I asked them and they didn’t know.
No, we didn’t, which was stupid of us. Extremely stupid. My deepest apologies. We’ll know for next time.
You probably missed our table because we were too nerdy looking? … except for me, of course, with my uncanny resemblence to Cary Grant.
Anyhow, I had a great time, and it was nice to meet folks and chat.
Have fun at your curry fest on Saturday, sorry that I can’t stay!
C’est la vie. Catch you next time.
I’d definitely have joined up with youse guys, if I’d seen this thread earlier, and if I had a clue who any of you were, and if indeed any of you knew who I was… and…
never mind
In the unlikely event that Ed happens to read the thread: thanks for the signed copy of Return.
In the more likely event of Dex reading this: thanks for lugging the book over and it was good to see you.
