Thank you to my friends who know people (Marc! and Dad! and Joel--thanks for knowing yourself!) and Sarabande for helping me put this together. It's the perfect tour for me: tiny and comforting. Besides reading, here are some things I can't wait to do:
-Drink some great beer at Danny's! and hang out with Joel
-Go to Quimby's, Myopic Books, and Earwax in Chicago (is Earwax still there?)
-See my parents and walk the dog in the woods
-See the beautiful fall colors in Southern IN (yes, we have trees there too!)
-Meet the Purdue MFAs
-Go to Soma in Bloomington and get a PB&J smoothie
-Go to my old B-town neighborhood and sit on Julia's porch and pet her dogs
-And in dear Iowa City: go to EPB (English/Philosophy Building) and feel the memories.
Also: Hamburg Inn, the Foxhead, George's, and the Deadwood. Stare in sadness at the place Great Mid used to be. And most importantly, see my friends!
