Cinco de Mayo Chicago Style~Rachelle (and maybe Steve)

Thailand! Thailand! Thailand! We managed to book a hotel for Bangkok before our internet decided to start hating us again (we're having AT&T come out for the second time in a week tonight), and it's very snazzy. I expect to be riding many elephants soon.

We had our young adult fundraiser for Old St. Pat's on Saturday, which I helped to organize. I got to be in charge of decorations and trying to make it not look like a church basement. I did not take any pictures, but it was at least a partial success. There were many Christmas lights and colorful decorations. We had a live band, taco bar, and Corona donated beer, plus lots of silent auctions and raffles. Steve won tickets to a Cubs game and a free dental exam from a friend (because he shuns my dental insurance).

I went to a reading conference on Monday-Wednesday of last week and met a ton of authors. Most of them are writing more recent books, but I'm sure you all remember R.L. Stine of Goosebumps fame. He looked pretty much exactly like I thought he would.

  1. Yeah Goosebumps! I'm curious what you thought he would look like. Creepy? Almost-but-not-quite creepy?

  2. does your hotel rent elephants? We are excited that your plans are coming together. I'm guessing that you already have plane tickets. What are the dates?
