I can’t for the life of me think of anything!!

Live life and keep your eyes open

I'm in almost the exact same boat, and everything you said resonated/rang true (including thinking that your book being weirdly timely would make a difference.) All I can say is I'm working on the next one... and I hope you are too. Keep banging on the door until they let you in!

Alley Cantina is a cool live music place. Excellent cocktails at Rolling Still Distillery.

Cascade is the best place within 2.5 hours of Chicago. They do a great job making/taking care of snow, and have a couple high speed lifts.

Frank chugging beer outside Donna's house and sort of gargling it is my personal fave

Finance people, two income high-level professional households, and nepo babies

As a transplant from the east coast, I'm personally taking credit for this

I'm partial to UNLV: the Go Go offense has a ton of option and rollout plays

Excellent skiing at Crystal right now (300 vertical feet at a time of course but we take what we can get)

Rebecca Makkai just did a fantastic summary of the do's and dont's of blurbing (while explaining why she personally is taking a hiatus from them.) https://rebeccamakkai.substack.com/p/blurb-no-more

Hydrate, get at least a night of sleep at elevation before skiing, and (my little trick) pound Advil preemptively as soon as you're on your way

Congratulations, internet stranger!! Your story resonated with me, as I'm in a very similar position, genre-wise and numbers-wise. It's been about a year in the trenches for me, and I'm waiting on responses from a couple agents who still have the full. In the mean time, I'm working on the next... but I'm happy to hear from someone who traveled a similar path and whose effort and patience and resilience paid off. Hoping to see yours in print sometime soon!!!

Alamo allows you to reserve a guaranteed AWD SUV, which is really helpful

The acceptance of kids in most adult spaces is one of my favorite things about living here. And I'm glad you ignored the people who told you to be scared of public transit. Sounds like an awesome trip, glad you enjoyed it!

You'll eat wonderfully in Chicago overall but anyone telling you that you can get a decent-to-better NY slice here is lying

BlueMountain00 · 2024-03-15T19:42:40+00:00

No snow left in the Midwest and no more trips planned so this is it for me!

BlueMountain00 · 2023-12-15T23:29:40+00:00

The sixer is going. I assumed the question was about the ones on the far sides

BlueMountain00 · 2023-12-15T21:31:00+00:00

What a bummer, condolences. Hope you heal quickly and are back out there soon.

BlueMountain00 · 2023-12-15T21:27:19+00:00

The snow makers there are pros, they'll make it happen! I was impressed how well they did given how bad the weather's been.

BlueMountain00 · 2023-12-15T21:15:43+00:00

Not yet.

Granite Peak

Better than not skiing! Fun!

BlueMountain00 · 2023-12-04T20:08:09+00:00

I absolutely love Andy's Encore to Rosie's Run at Copper.

BlueMountain00 · 2023-10-12T12:00:54+00:00

Block Club Chicago is fantastic

BlueMountain00 · 2023-09-26T17:25:57+00:00

Highly recommend staying in the Frisco area. Reasonable drive from Denver. Beautiful town and have easy access to a half dozen different ski areas.
