Last time I saw Chicago, it was 2003 and my mind was on the Cornerstone Festival, several hours west of the city.<\/p>\n

On Thursday evening, I\u2019ll arrive in Chicago again\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026but this time I\u2019m staying in town. It\u2019ll be a brief but busy visit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m speaking in chapel at Judson University on Friday morning, and then at Judson\u2019s Imago Film Festival<\/a> on Friday evening. (You can read about it in this Chicago Sun-Times<\/em> article<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

It looks like they have some special things in store for festival-goers. I\u2019m particularly delighted to see that my longtime friend and colleague J. Robert Parks is leading a post-viewing discussion of the film Where the Wild Things Are<\/em>. I love that movie, and I wish I could be there for that event. But that happens on Wednesday, a full 24 hours before I arrive.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u2019m looking forward to meeting Terrence Wandtke,\u00a0associate professor of art and media studies at Judson, who so kindly invited me. And I hope to meet some of his students there.<\/p>\n

Feel free to email me ahead if time if you\u2019re going to be there, so I can be on the lookout for you during my short stay. I don\u2019t want to leave Chicago without greeting the folks who read LookingCloser.org!<\/p>\n
