Sweet Home Oak Brook

After a weekend of dead cold out sleeping, we are back on the ole book tour business and ready to rock tonight. We are back in the Midwest, where we are most comfortable. And by "comfortable," we mean "freaking freezing."

Anyway, we're in Oak Brook, Illinois, tonight, which is affectionately known as "the suburb of lumpy shoulders." We're at the Borders of Oak Brook, which is a handsome place of hope and joy, and also a place, we hope, we can buy some clean underwear. (It has been a long trip.) Here are the exact details:

February 11, 2008 7:30 PM Borders Oak Brook 1500 16th Street, Suite D Oak Brook, IL Phone:630.574.0800

We love Chicago, and we promise not to make any jokes about the Cubs. So come on out, Chicagoans: Who loves the suburbs? We'll make our own John Hughes movie.

If you're running late, by the way, you can drop by here afterwards. But the reading will be much more fun, and you won't have to see those scowls of people who scoff at you for being a latecomer. Or something.
