Lots of RSVPs coming in through comments and e-mail, so here’s an update. We have a few options. If you think you can make it next week (reminder: Wednesday night, 7:30pm 7:15pm) to the blogger dinner in Chicago, cast a vote for your preference for dinner. We’ll go with the group majority on this one.…
