Now that would be a very nice trip, and I'd bring all my Benson paperbacks and hardcovers! :)

Too bad I can't go. :)

Damn, I used to live about 45 minutes from there. :) Just my luck! Oh well, sounds pretty cool anyway. I hope someone here gets the chance to go.

I may go - I live in the greater Milwaukee area. I think I only have one novel left for him to autograph and I may pick up his new book.
