This is the face of a man who is telling his mom that he has just
received an offer from DePaul University. We are all stunned and
thrilled!

Woohoooo! I'm so excited for you guys! When do you have to move? Chicago sounds like an awesome place to visit you. Wheeeeeeee!!

Many congratulations to Bill...so when does the job start?

[urthlvr.livejournal.com]

Congratulations-always nice to see people get jobs in this economy!

That is absolutely wonderful!!

One of my favorite people in the world is the Dean of Mathematics at DePaul (Lynn Narasimhan), who I actually referenced in an entry (http://hahathor.livejournal.com/187516.html) just a couple of days ago. My friend Joy lives there too, she's a fiesty sarcastic vegetarian with a wicked sense of humor. I can proffer virtual introductions when it's time.

And now I have more reasons to visit! I love Chicago!

Huzzah! Finally, you get to escape the Midwest for... the Upper Midwest! But Chicago doesn't really count. ;-)

Y'know, I've never remembered to ask you. Are you related to the Gilliland Printing family? Marty Gilliland is one of my favorite people in the industry.

And, congrats!

Wonderful news! You were long overdue. And Chicago's a real city!

I was hoping for Pace, but still, this is good...YESSSS!

Wow! Exciting news! Chicago, look out!

Congratulations. Chicago is a marvelous city with a crappy climate. Culturally it is better than San Francisco in pretty much any measure (theater, comedy, museums, architecture, music of all sorts) and it even has beaches a few blocks from downtown. The public transit is fairly fast and efficient. Did I mention the weather sucks? But you are probably used to that by now, apart from the wonders of lake effect snow.

Things to check out:
Free concerts in Grant Park
B.L.U.E.S. on Halstead Street - best hole in the wall blues bar anywhere.
Anerican Gothic at the Art Institute. Also the best collection of French Impressionists outside Paris.
Second City comedy club. Sketch and improv comedy. Most of the stars of SNL started out here.
The totem pole, the German U-boat, the viking ship, Chicago's Picasso and the giant silver bean.
Sit on Shakespeare's lap, ride the very front seat of the front car of the El around the Loop, and what the hell, go up the Sears Tower.

O, AWESOME!
We have been talking about a trip to Chicago, on a real choo-choo train, and now we have extra reason to go there!
Yay!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I am so excited for you both I'm all teary. Bill can tell you about the time he, Josh, Kevin, and I walked halfway across Chicago to get to Wax Trax records. Aside from that, I know the food is great, the bicyclists are crazy, and you'll be getting a visit from us.

That's such great news. Congrats to him and to all of you. I'll bet this move will begin a great new chapter in all of your lives!

Fantastic. And boy, do you all deserve it!
