For those of you who know only what the moderators of the splinter community chicagoljmeetup have scribed about me, (I have been banned and barred from joining and | or posting there.) here is my response to their reprehensible actions.

Bizness

Mon, 06 Feb 2006 03:00:57 GMT

The maintainer of this community has apparently abandoned it, they have deleted and purged their journal. If the previous maintainer has a new LJ, please re-enlist yourself as maintainer, as there is some bizness some members would like to conduct.

Otherwise, I am volunteering to start and maintain a new Chicago meetup community.

If this is not agreeable to someone, please let me know.

Thanks :)

So justphoenix mentioned a comedy club. I haven't been to one in ages, so I looked up who would be performing over the next couple of months. And lo and behold, Greg Proops will be at Zanies in Chicago February 16-17.

I'm going to resurrect an old tradition from my college days: late show at the comedy club, then breakfast food (mmm pancakes) at a 24-hour diner (gotta absorb that alcohol somehow).

catbirdgirl and I will be going to the 10:30 show on February 17th, which is a Friday. We're going to try to get there around 9:45-10:00, to get decent seats. Afterward, we'll likely take transit or a cab to food (no idea exactly where yet, but it can be figured out later, depending on peoples' opinions).

If you're interested, the show info is here. You'd need to buy your tickets at least a few days in advance, and we'd meet everybody before going inside (since all seating is first come first served, that way we'd all be seated together).

Just as a warning, the tickets are $25 apiece, with a 2 drink/food minimum, so the show itself will run somewhere between $30-35, depending on your tastes.

If you're interested, let me know. I'll post again in here with a reminder somewhere around a week before the show.

A meetup that does not involve selling stuff

Wed, 11 Jan 2006 22:08:10 GMT

I saw a couple months ago cinnajess had a bowling meetup. That sounds like it could be fun to do again. Other fun things to do might be: going to a museum or a comedy club

I just hope I don't get roped into organizing...I'm on hiatus from all volunteer organizing until further notice ;)

Hope to see some of you soon.

Hi everyone! I want to make local friends, so....

Wed, 11 Jan 2006 15:53:20 GMT

NOTE: INVITATION IS NOW CLOSED. PARTY IS FULL. THANKS!
I'm hosting a Park Lane jewelry show at my home in the North Suburbs Sat Jan 28, 2006 at 7PM til (?). There's room for a few more attendees, but my apartment is small, so space is limited. Please email me at elirith72@gmail.com to RSVP and get the information if you'd like to come. There will be sweets and appetizers available. Come make some new friends and play with some nice jewelry. Limited seating space! First Come First Seated! Perfect timing to get something for Valentine's Day too if inclined, but you don't have to purchase anything!

Because it only tangentially touches on an on-line “community”, I will not cross-post it here.
Instead, you get the link to a public post in my LJ.

Bowling and booze!!!

MeetUP revised...

Tue, 25 Oct 2005 05:09:25 GMT

The date has been changed!!!

I have finally gotten off my ass enough that I am planning a MeetUp!

Let us all rejoice.

Enough rejoicing. Now, since I'm the one taking the bull by the horns here, I have decreed THAT:

The MeetUp will be held Tuesday, November 8th.

It will take place at Lincoln Lanes, 4874 N. Lincoln Ave.

The start time will be 8pm as usual.

Sorry to inconvenience anyone with the date shenaniganry. I realized the notice was too short. This revised notice is the official one, and I will repost as the date nears.

Chicago Blows

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 05:44:40 GMT

The Windy City, she sure can blow sometimes. Vent your frustrations at the Chicago Blows community. People piss me off on a daily basis, but why piss yet more people off complaining about it? Better to post someplace where someone might relate, rather than talking the ear off the poor schmuck you cornered at the local pub.

I'm (pegboy) known as something of a nazi-asshole when it comes to LJ and such, but I have only one rule for this community.

No posting stupid playbills for when your band is playing or when the next stupid-ass dance party is going to be at a club nobody goes to (nobody I give shit about anyway).

Outside of that, anything goes. Feel free to post about how much you hate me, tourists, your ex-girlfriend, that hobo who stunk up the redline the other day, or even how much Fallout Boy sucks. Whatever.

Join here.

Are we not having monthly meet ups anymore? :(

Sun, 18 Sep 2005 00:25:52 GMT

Hi Chicago peeps!

Does anyone know of any GRE study groups in Chicago or Evanston? I know there are the Kaplan and Princeton Review classes, but they are about $1000. I am hoping for something a little more reasonable, a little more informal.

I feel like I saw a comprehensive list of all the clubs in Chicago online, maybe put together by the Chicago Public Library? Maybe I saw it on chicagoist or gapersblock awhile back.? Let me know if you know of the list I am talking about or if I dreamed it up.

EDIT: I found the list, in case anyone cares other than me :) http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/clubs/clubsa2z.html

august meetup

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 10:18:22 GMT

So...are we having a meetkup this month? And if so, where? I'm guessing not a lot of people showed up last month due to the weather...

Movie Meetup

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 22:19:21 GMT

So for those who expressed interest in a Grant Park Movie Meetup… Tomorrow night, cassielsander and I will be in Grant Park's Butler Field tomorrow night for the free outdoor showing of My Darling Clementine, the John Ford Western starring Henry Fonda and Victor Mature. We'll be there rain or shine; we sat through a lot of thunderstorms last year, and it was like a big-kids' sprinkler party. Watching movies in the rain is an adventure, I tells ya. Though at the moment, the weather is a great big question mark.

The film starts at 8:48 p.m., but if you want a good spot, you need to come early, and part of the point is to have time to hang out, eat, and socialize. People normally start arriving around 5ish, as they get out of work, and the good spots go quickly, but there should still be plenty of space by 7, when the meetups normally happen. I'll initially be standing at the northwest entrance to Butler Field, at the corner of East Monroe and South Columbus, under the trees where the concrete benches are. My plan is to arrive around 7 p.m. and hang out to catch other people as they arrive, then claim a bunch of space in the field, probably by 7:15 or so. So if you arrive after that, look for us out in the grass.

Good stuff to bring: Your own towel, blanket, or lawn chair, food or booze if you want it, cards or musical instruments or other portable entertainment, a jacket (it can get surprisingly chilly once the sun goes down, even if it's dry and warm beforehand) and friends. Bad stuff to bring: Pets (they aren't allowed), or stuff that would get you in trouble with the patrolling cops.

I will be carrying this fairly loud and distinctive umbrella as an identifier:

Hope to see you there!

July meetup

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 13:38:55 GMT

THe July meetup will be at the Heartland Cafe, tomorrow at 7:30.
I will not be there; I have too much to do before a big trip, and can't afford the time. Y'all have fun!

idea for August meetup

Thu, 21 Jul 2005 12:17:05 GMT

Following on from Rollick's idea, I note that the August meeting also falls on an outdoor-film night, and the movie in question on that date is Star Wars... Anybody up for at least making that one of the venue-choice options next month?
