Jane Lynch was in Chicago over the weekend to promote Happy Accidents, and the Chicago Tribune has a rather delightful story on her “laser focus” as she GTDs and makes the most of her time there (“She hates disorder. She can no longer own throw pillows: ‘Too messy, too frivolous.’”), visits her mom, signs books, poses with the fans.  Our favorite part of the story is the sampling of the Q & A session during one of the signings:

Inside the store, questions flew: Were her lines in “Best in Show” written or improvised? (Improvised.) What actor did she most want to work with? (Carol Burnett and Olivia Newton John) Do you feel any backlash for being a lesbian? (“Not unless it’s behind my back.”) Is there really a “Velvet Mafia” in Hollywood? (“Is that a gay thing? Do they have a potluck?”) Do you have advice for a 20-year-old? (“Say yes to everything but porno.”)

According to our nifty book tour calendar on your right, it looks like her next stops will be in our hometown of LA.  Lucky us.
