(Formerly) Local Boy Makes Good

[snurri]

Time Out Chicago expresses anticipation for Superpowers (and for Jennifer Stevenson AKA smokingpigeon's new novels as well!). It has me down as a Chicago writer (which I was until about a year ago, so), but I don't mind the mistake :-)

You know seriously? I wonder if we did meet there. I know I did talk to quite a few people that night.

That was also the night I first met my roommate (I mean, we hung out the first time that night, we knew we were gonna be roommates), and stuff.

Wouldn't that be FUNNY if we actually talked, and like, didn't even KNOW it?

You are overestimating my social skills :-) I went alone and talked to almost no one! I did talk a little bit to some guy who did a radio show at Northwestern, but that was only because he was sitting at my table. Oh, and I talked to Maureen McHugh because I knew her, but then I was exhausted and had to go home.

hahahahahaha.

See, I MAY have talked to you. It was packed that night. I ended up schmoozing because I was there with my roommate - who was there with Jessa. (keeping my motuh shut) I was the supplier of the PA (ie - the bass amp that ended up braking and no one offered to ever fix, thanks a LOT BOOKSLUT!), and my roommate was wrangler of stuff.

Yeah, it was vaguely schmoozy. and weird. I love when people ask me what I think of bookslut. I just smile and say nothing. The Chicago book scene is really, really weird.
