CommentsI guarantee myself and at least one of my friends will attend if this goes on. Posted by: Paul at November 18, 2005 11:52 PMI'm so excited! Apparently I am now included under the "Special Guests" -- looking forward to see you guys there! ... Rachel Caine Ohmighosh!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my hometown. I lived there for 37 years and nothing cool like this happened. Now I'm in Florida. Guess I'll have to go home for a visit that weekend. Posted by: Marie at November 8, 2005 04:34 PMOhh! I am so tempted to go and Chicago is an easy 6hrs away. sign me up! A few months after Proven Guilty comes out I'll be climbing the walls for the next scrap of Harry I can get my hands on! Posted by: cathy at November 8, 2005 03:46 PMI'm so in. It'll be my birthday present to myself, "real" job or not. I'll offer my students extra credit to come with me. So I'm a shameless book pimp. What's wrong with that? Posted by: Jenni at November 5, 2005 01:28 AMDon't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to meet Jim, but could we just get him to do more conventions (east and west coast) ? I will be there come hades or high water. Posted by: proudfit at October 27, 2005 05:44 PMI can't wait to meet Jim. I was turned onto the Dresden Files by a friend and I haven't put it down since. I will be there for sure. Posted by: Louie Adamo at October 27, 2005 03:44 PMI would love to come and take the writers workshop as well as meet Jim who is definitely one of my favorite authors. Posted by: Connie Daniels at October 26, 2005 01:10 PMI'm already banking vaction days and making plans w/a friend from Texas to attend the Chicago conference. Count the 2 of us in!!! Posted by: Laura at October 25, 2005 09:19 AMA writing workshop? Then I definitely want to attend. Put me down on the list! Posted by: Elaine Genzano at October 24, 2005 02:28 PMwill I go? ummm........ YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I'm SO there! Will you be sending email reminders? With it being a year away, I know my horrible memory will forget the date. Hi! to Jim, and Hi! to Shannon! (We don't know each other, I'm just saying hi!) :o) Posted by: Jenny at October 23, 2005 09:28 PMUnless I can magically pull out money and find really cheap hotels that don't mind minors (since I live north of the US and I'm not old enough for my opinion to matter ) I'm not going to be there, to my utter disappointment. Posted by: Steve Nguyen at October 23, 2005 01:55 AMI would love to come to this. As a struggling sci-fi/paranormal writer it would be interesting to meet up with some others. Posted by: aerialla at October 21, 2005 10:02 PMI would SO love to be there - whether or not I can actually attend depends on whether or not I get the promotion I just applied for.... so wish me luck! I met Jim at Whedonverse in July and not only was he great at talking to an audience at large, but to people one on one. He's definitely become one of my favorite authors and I recommend him to all my "reader" friends. Posted by: Brande at October 20, 2005 11:49 PMOh, I am so totally there. If I can get off school and stuff (stressing out...it's my senior year in highschool). Chicago...rockin'! Hey, guess what I'm doing...Writing a report on Jim Butcher!

He is an awsome writer, I love his books! I am not a fan of books with demons and stuff like that usually but his books grab my attention as soon as I read the first line.
