We need to set a Chicagoland dkos meetup / happy hour time! I would hope for March 11th, somehwere downtown. Please post a comment to suggest a time and/or place.
Three weeks ago, I "moved" into the Chicagoland area. I will be here at least until mid-May, leaving my beloved Philadelphia behind in order to work for the desparately under-staffed Illinois Federation of Teachers.
Although organizing and sleeping (and soon, volunteering for Obama) takes up almost all of my time, there are a few hours a week that I would love to spend with like-minded blog-folk.
I know next to nothing about Chicago and Chicagoland. Tonight I attended a Dean meetup at The Exchequecher, 226 Wabash. It seemed like a fine place to potentially meetup. If anyone can think of a better place and time to host an informal dkos Chicagoland meetup, please post below and explain.
I know no one in the area. However, I do know dkos. I know that many peopl;e from around Chicago post on dkos. It would be great if we could all meet. The people, united, can never be defeated!
