So yesterday, I ventured out from my little hermit hole and attended the 2014 Chicago Book Expo.
Matt, the coordinator of the Tamale Hut Cafe Writers Group, had gotten a table with a couple of other writers from the group and had invited me and co-conspirator Jenny to use the table as home base while we wandered the show in search of new writers to invite to the Tamale Hut Cafe Reading Series.
As a bonus, I also got to take time to contemplate new ideas for furnishing the home.
It's not quite the Scandinavian Contemporary look I was going for, but it might make a good accent piece anyway.
