I'm in Chester. Work's kept me pretty busy the last few days, so I'm a bit slow to the board. I did want to mention that I work for Bryler Publications and we're planning on hosting a write-in on the last weekend. We're inviting our literary program students to attend as well, so there might be a surplus of teenagers and not a ton of space, but you're welcome to join in!
