On a related note, at Capricon 32 in Wheeling, IL (just outside of 
Chicago), there's going to be a panel with Gene and Cory Doctorow 
(excellent!):
http://www.kristine-smith.com/index.php/2012/01/capricon-schedule/

Ironically, Gene has not treated as a superstar at the Chicago 
cons...which makes the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame event so 
significant. So it is possible to actually have a normal conversation 
with him.
(hint) Don't give him a book. He gets these all the time, and he says he 
doesn't get a chance to read for pure pleasure anymore (ala the book 
forger in "Peace").

Bread and salt, perhaps.
