10^6 comment party in Teh Illinoyse!

i-f875c0b07d9b3cb6229668554781b35a-alice.jpgSo I'm going to throw my hat in to the Millionth Comment Hoopla and join forces with geographically proximal scibling Steve Higgins of Of Two Minds for a combined Indiana/Illinois party to which you all are welcome! Steve is working on the details, but currently we're looking at Sept 27, at the Blind Pig in Champaign where the first round is on us; however, I'm lobbying for somewhere with food and other than alcohol for our non/low-drinking readers. Short story is, watch this space for more details.

Any one going to join us? I hope? or we'll just have a nice chat, just the two of us?

Ooh, and if you pick a restaraunty place I don't have to find a babysitter! Either way I will be there!

I could probably do a Lafayette event, but probably not an hour drive to ChampUrb

Oooh, ooh--I might be able to come! I have been meaning to say hi to you anyway since I saw you talk at our New Faculty Research Orientation! I actually live about 10 minutes from Champaign...
