I am not yet home...

Lovely work-vacation extended by 12 hours, as change in equipment = overbooked plane = very nice travel voucher to those of us who could change our flight plans. As cat-sitter was agreeable, I took it with both paws.

I now have a travel voucher begging me to Go Somewhere New. Maybe to continue my tradition of New Year in New City? Or perhaps to fund a signing tour for WEIGHT OF STONE come October?

The floor is now open to suggestions. All I ask is that it be a Place of Interest. Feel free to nominate your hometown -- You are Of Interest. :-)

to fund a signing tour for WEIGHT OF STONE come October

yes please, come to Oregon. The Beaverton Powells is the best place for signings.

A second voice for Oregon! It's lovely here in October....

Third! Portland! Oregon! :-)

[kateyule.livejournal.com]

Woot!

[jaylake.livejournal.com]

Oregon *is* made of win, and calendula_witch doesn't even live here yet...

We have volcanoes. And wineries. And beautiful ocean shores.

[lagilman]

Volcanoes + air travel = uncertain win, these days....

But they haven't erupted in, um, 30 years... :p Ånd they are so *pretty* when they're not erupting.

Unless you are into the Amish, or Gettysburg/US Civil War, I will not ask you to visit South Central PA. If you are...

[lagilman]

I actually need to get down there at some point, but I don't think I'll use a flight voucher...

[cypherindigo.livejournal.com]

The train is a much better way.

I vote for a signing tour coinciding with WFC. Those of us in the Midwest would actually have a chance at seeing you. (And no, I'd not be offended if you chose to bypass the 'Nati; I know we're the conservative end of the state.)

Tucson! Visit Judy and play with her horses. Just sayin'.

[lagilman]

Alas, without proper identification, I hesitate to visit AZ... (I haven't seen my SocSec card in years)

I feel I have to put in a vote for a signing in Canada! I know its trickier to arrange, what with crossing borders and all, but I have to mention it. To be specific, somewhere in the Toronto/GTA area (or at least within driving distance from there!) would be fantastic. There are lots of great things to do in the area too.

I'll second Toronto, as I spend more of my free time there than in Albany these days. :-)

[lucysnowe25.livejournal.com]

Yes, Toronto!

[ex-fashioni.livejournal.com]

Seattle.

You won't even have to pay for hotel. IJS...

[lagilman]

Last time I went to Seattle, the turnout was... not heart-warming. Yes, I know, you weren't there yet.

[burger-eater.livejournal.com]

I was supposed to have friends come with me, but they bailed. Sorry.

[kriz1818.livejournal.com]

Somehow I don't think the wilds of central Connecticut would make the cut. ;-)

[lagilman]

I am NOT flying from into Hartford....

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Come to Newcastle! Hadrian's Wall... Holy Island... The castles of Northumberland... The best damn used bookstore in Europe... Food and drink and company... Have I said enough yet, or should I go on?

[lagilman]

Tempting.. but I'll just have gotten home from Northern France/Occasional Belgium!

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Our recommendation would be Basel. During Fasnacht.

(Well, we've just done the last ten, so maybe we've no imagination.)

[difrancis.livejournal.com]

I want to come there. Sigh. Sounds wonderful.

[difrancis.livejournal.com]

There's always MOntana . . .

If the volcano gods and other powers permit, you could always do another research trip. Take a cruise along on the Rhine and Moselle and sample the wines at each stop...

[lagilman]

It was an air-travel voucher, not a Surprise Financial Windfall!
