I made it to Chicago in one piece and am at the BlogHer Conference. Currently waiting for The Art of Storytelling session to start.
Already collected my goodie bag and met a few readers! Too cool.
Aaron gets here this evening and is going to attend the conference tomorrow... which I am quite pleased about.
I left my camera cable in the hotel room, so no pictures til tonight.
I can't wait to read about it all. I just joined BlogHer last month and it was too late for me to get myself together to attend so I have to wait till next year. I hope you have a blast.

the field is my favorite since childhood, but transport hard for you from where you are at, byt then you can do the shedd with the whales and the north coast dophins-they are so cool.--the view of the city from there is amazing too. the fountain lite show with music at nite is well worth you trouble. i remember a girl traveled from you city for the day the turned the fountain off, for 2 years of repair work--she had to see it once last time for some childhood reason, just in case in never came back on.
