Going going…
I just went to package up this morning’s out going books, and realized I’m down to only a tiny handful of copies of Rabble Rousers. Tiny like a dozen. If you’ve been wanting to get one, this might be the time. I don’t have any plans to reprint these, so when they’re gone, they’re gone. Of course the electronic version will still be available, but I know some folks prefer paper. And as always, if you get the paper version from me, you get the electronic version for free too.
And, in much more fun news, if you had a few hours to kill in the Chicago area and wanted to do it in a yarn store or a used book store, where would you go? And yes, yes I am shamelessly using the blog for research. Nothing wrong with that at all!
Loopy! It’s downtown, accessible by public transport and super fun.
Loopy Yarns (http://www.loopyyarns.com) is the yarn store I always went to when I lived in Chicago. It’s downtown, right off the red line if you’re taking the train. It’s a big store too. 2 stories. Of course, Chicago has a lot of great yarn stores.
I miss Chicago now… Try the pizza while you’re there! It’s to die for!
Loopy is a blast – the owner Vicki is wonderful and she has a great staff. It is very close to an area called Printers Row that has a lot of used book stores.
Thee Bags Full in Northbrook if you make it out to the suburbs.
Another vote for Loopy. A good friend lived in Chicago for five years, and every visit included a trek to Loopy.
If you have the time, hit the Field Museum as well!
And get a pizza bowl at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder. http://www.chicagopizzaandovengrinder.com/menu.htm
