Met a couple people at the Barnes & Noble downtown and made an evening of it. Went and walked on the Riverwalk for a while too.
Two other people that thought about meeting us (including the one who first suggested it and reserved a copy) didn't show.
A friend of mine who was at the American Library Association convention in Toronto over the weekend said she came home with a Canadian first edition - and said there were a few bookstores there courting them to come out.
The B&N had a magic show and a science show (doing stuff with sounds and slime and whatnot) for the kids, and trivia contests, etc etc.
The other bookstore downtown was supposed to have booths all through their parking lot, but it looked as if only one food vendor showed.
Oak Park, IL, on the other hand, had 10,000 people turn out....
