Last night, thanks to the wonder of Skype, I was able to virtually join a bookstore in Moscow, Idaho for their Zita the Spacegirl costume contest. These three kids, dressed as Mouse, Zita and Strong Strong, made me really happy:
I'm packing now for Chicago, where I will be visiting 57th Street Books and a couple local schools before returning to the East Coast for the Gaithersburg Book Festival. From there I will be flying to Portland Main for MeCAF.
I wish I was better at packing...
