Chicago, Chicago area get together [View all]

Last edited Sat Jul 25, 2015, 08:54 PM - Edit history (1)

Has to be in July. I would love it if we could coordinate it so people from the surrounding areas could come as well.

Preferably, a weekend. Maybe at a street fest or one of the bigger events at Millennium/Grant parks?

I'm available whenever.

I feel terrible that I am the one that tried to get this together and I can't do it. Just so much more than I anticipated in getting ready to move. I have been busy all week and have to get most of what is left to do done before Monday.
