We were watching Kochak: The Night Stalker after doing some demolition of the living room section of Offhand Manor. We don't actually have a living room, but we've sectioned off about half the front room with the futon. The area with [personal profile] kshandra's computer, the TV, and all our bookshelves is the living room. It works for us.

Anyway, I love Kolchak. While watching this episode - Firefall - when I remembered the Chicago, where the show is set, is soon to host a World Science Fiction Convention. Thus, a plan was hatched.

We're going to Chicon 8. And for at least part of the con, I will be dressed as Carl Kolchak. I might even volunteer to work for Publications. Which would be pretty awesome.

My wild-eyed plan is to take the California Zephyr out; and I'm sure [personal profile] kevin_standlee will be organizing a group excursion on the train. Then fly back.

2022 is close enough to our 30th anniversary for it to count as that big trip. Saving now!

I used to watch Kolchak with Mom back in the day. We were in the south suburbs of Chicago when it was on, IIRC.

I always loved Amtrak. One of my cousins is an engineer with Amtrak, lucky sod.
