If you're looking for a place to await the release of the seventh and  
final book, you can't do better than Market Street Books in Southern  
Village. I think its amazing that people ages six to seventy will all  
be celebrating the release of a BOOK of all things!  If that happens  
again in my lifetime I'll be very surprised. I'm going dressed as one  
of the few characters in the books who wears a goatee AND a hat.  If  
there was someone with a goatee and was bald I'd have it made, but no  
such luck.
