Couple other things while I'm thinking about them and have time to breathe before the next panel starts...

They did dramatizations of two of Neil Gaiman's short stories, "Troll Bridge" and "Snow, Glass, Apples" for us, which were dark and gritty and highly entertaining. Nothing wrong with Snow White as a vampire, right?

I bought a calendar. Understand that my "normal" calendar behavior is to buy one in February when they're half price, and usually there's no way in hell I'll fork out twenty bucks for a damn calendar. This one, however, is glorious. It's called "Incandescent Art Unicorns," by Donna Waltz, and you can see some of the art here, which I strongly strongly strongly advise you to do because they are gorgeous.

And I also did a Ghost Tour, which will get its own post once I've done some research and have links for you all, because Chicago has been home to more than one disaster with amazing body counts, not to mention the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

Troll Bridge is NOT a Neil Gaiman story. It's by Sir Terry Pratchett.

It's an adaptation of The Three Billy Goats Gruff and appeared in "Snow White, Blood Red." Sir Terry's is a different story entirely.

Just when I thought I'd never buy another unicorn.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I thought I'd outgrown unicorns entirely until I saw that art.

Turns out, not so much.
