Yesterday at lunch Andrew, Aaron and I met up and went over to Borders on State to see Erin read from her new book Tales From The Scale. Scott and Amy were also there, as well as about 40 (?) other people. We’re all so proud of Erin, she did a great job reading and looked very comfortable on the stage. Erin also invited Chiara LaRotonda to read an exerpt that she had written for the book.

As I said on Chicagoist, if you’ve had issues with food/weight/body image (who hasn’t!), or if you know someone who has, or if you just want a funny read, or if you want to support a local author, buy this book!

Downstairs, on the way out, we kind of stalked Tyler Florence, from Food 911, who was having a signing at the same time as Erin.

This morning the Chicagoist staff & their families got together at Wishbone for brunch. I was nervous because we were a big group and I was afraid they wouldn’t seat us, but we went early (10 am) and I got there even 15-20 minutes earlier than that to give the Wishbone staff a heads up. They were awesome. 13 of us plus 2 babies were seated in 15 or 20 minutes. And our waitress was great. And the food there is awesome.

I think this is the largest staff get-together we’ve ever had. It was cool to get almost everyone together in one room. Aaron took a photo that was unfortunately 1) after Kevin, Dexter and Leah left and 2) very bright. Still, it’s nice.

Oh! And, since I sat in the middle of the tables, I got to talk about both cigars and babies!

Last night Aaron and Kris hosted a Gay Chicago Bloggers party at Roscoe. They had a great turnout and I met lots of new people. Like always, I told myself I was leaving at 9 or 10 and didn’t get home til 1 am.

I need to figure out what settings on my camera are good in a dark bar. I’m not really happy with the quality of my photos from last night.
