Ok, after whining on her site about not knowing when the cool kids were getting together, I noticed an announcement for this in the inbox given on this here site. Which I don't check very often, and should probably change. . .

Sounds like a fine time. They're still looking for more readers, if you're in the Chicago area, run a blog, and won't be at APE at the time -- yes, Dresen, I'm looking at you.
Hell no, I'm not reading.
I'm much too shy.
This is beyond tempting to infiltrate. I'm calling and getting Jones on the show.
"infiltrate"?
Dan, this is being held in a store, so I'm figuring we'll be sitting in steel folding chairs. Y'all show up and start acting ignant, I will grab one, rush the stage, and smack both y'all with it.
And then powerbomb you through the Spanish announce table.
And then demand they play my theme music. I liked Gangrel's, but Golddust had that cool letterbox/video graininess thing going on. . .
