Wow, that is a fantastic commercial. I'm starting to come around to Eminem, after over a decade of generally loathing the guy. His latest album is undeniably great. That new Chrystler 200 is pretty nice, too.

Philip, how often does your critique group meet? I noticed on your blog that it's located in the 'Champaign-Urbana area,' which according to Google Maps is only a 2 hr 45 minute drive from my town. I applied to Clarion 2011, which is how I'd love to spend my summer, but if that doesn't come to fruition I'd love to come give your guys' writers group a try at least once in June, or thereabouts.

Any thoughts on that? Do you guys enjoy new blood?
