Chicago End-of-Life Expo

I spent last weekend at the inaugural Chicago End-of-Life Expo drinking an obscene amount of cold brew and hanging out with like-minded people at Sleeping Village, a venue that is far too cool for the likes of me. I felt so hip.

I got to meet my podcast cohost Alison Zeidman for the very first time in person! She was at the expo to perform her end-of-life planning standup show “Ready to Die?” I got to sign oodles of books thanks to Women & Children First and feel like a real writer™️. I got to build a better sympathy card with the death positive hordes who were literally lined up around the block to get inside.

Let’s do it again next year, shall we?
