I grew up in the 'burbs and only fled to the cornfields of Urbana-Cham to get educated. Once I graduated, I began my slow migration southward but my parents still live in my childhood home and I visit the city of my heart at least once a year. Thanks and chocolates to cassiopeia7 for additions, clarifications, and fact checking. I am, alas, no longer a native. I hope this doesn't reach those of you attending the con too late to be of any use.

Feel free to ask any specific questions you might have. I'll answer them to the best of my ability.
