Chicago Web Meetup: 3/15

Time to slap on name tags (no, not really) and nerd out. The next Chicago Web Meetup is Thursday, March 15th, 6pm-ish. Location and solidified details TBD.

I’m seeking suggestions on where we should meet. I don’t think Elephant & Castle will really suit our needs moving forward, especially if we have a larger turnout than the first meetup. The criteria:

  • Preferably downtown.
  • Preferably a space where we can spread out. More bar, less restaurant.
  • Preferably a place that won’t require any sort of heads up that we’re coming.

As before, the point of the web meetup is to gather socially and meet others working in the web industry in Chicago. The meetup is not specific to designers, developers, entrepreneurs, etc. It’s open to anyone working in this field. Hope you can make it!

    I in.

    Some ideas for a place.

    There’s Billy Goat II which is a short walk from our office. Its spacious and kinda divey and probably wouldn’t be too crowded on a Thursday. I think Stocks & Blondes might be too small and always seems to be crowded. Rock Bottom is a little farther, but it was really nice and could turn into a night of billiards…

    Apparently the “apostrophe m” got chopped off my first post, so I will say I AM IN.

    I thought about Rock Bottom, too. Fado and Quartino have also been proposed.

    Is this still on? Sorry I didn’t RSVP, but the darn snow kept me stuck in Boston for a few daze…

    Jeff – I just now clicked on the google maps link. Sweet!

    Did you have it? Where was it? Is it posted here? Sorry I could not find it, so I ended up having a few drinks with my wife’s co-workers…

    Sorry for the confusion, Mike – the meetup is March 15, not February… So I still hope you can make it!
