Hey Chicago IFers. We tend to meet in-person in the city in the Bucktown neighborhood at Filter around 8pm (we usually agree ahead of time to meetup and meetups are irregular). We have hosted meetings in other venues, but Filter is our fallback place. Feel free to chime in with meetup or other questions.
