...because I can't wait. A couple buddies and I are talking about riding up in a minivan and getting there right when they open.
Who else is in?

See you there! Per usual, I will be wearing my blue Vicini zip front cardigan, and a Reynolds 531 shirt..... Night Tiger and I will have a table where we'll be selling t-shirts, random parts, and some Buddhist bicycle amulets of protection. Everything you need!

Of course it's not too soon. Conversely, I've been talking about the 2014 baseball season since the first week of November (that's too soon!).

Anyone from Chicago interested in carpooling? I'd love to go and could use a ride. I will a mix CD and bring snacks.

If I can think of something else I need between now and then.
Last year I went with two things in mind- I got one and a substitute for the item I wanted.
Of course I was sick, and I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in 10 years- I felt guilty that I felt ****ty and didn't really want to talk to him.

Hi Ken,
The Palatine swap is January 18th, and is in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
Madison is on the 25th.
Madison is the bigger of the two.
There is usually one in Chicago in March as well, though it's smaller....
Hope you can make it to one!
