I’m in Chicago for the AWP Annual Conference & Bookfair<\/a>. Had a long day of traveling, but made it to the Hilton Chicago in the afternoon, just in time to drop bags in order to go on a tour of the Conference Headquarters.

The flat area on the middle right side of the right photo, surrounded by a tilting kind of fence and orange lights… that’s the helicopter pad used in ER! It’s not on top of the hospital… it’s on top of our hotel!<\/p>\n
