The Chicago Intelligentsia

Intell

OK, so maybe we're not the intelligentsia—more like a couple of everyday people who gathered together there for some fine caffeine (sorry Starbucks).  Clay, Chris, Gabby, myself and Kelly showed up for a casual chat.  The highlight was that Kelly doesn't have a blog but is thinking about starting one.  It made for some great conversation.

Hope to see you at the next one.  I'll let you know when.

Thanks for coming, all! Thanks, David, for helping to promote it.

Hey, sorry I missed the first meetup, which I had been planning on attending; see, this is what happens when you work from home and are not usually up at 6 in the morning! Please definitely let us all know about the next one, when you have the info -- I promise, I won't sleep through the second get-together.

The next get-together will be this coming Friday, December 1. It'll be a new-month coffee fiesta.

This is really a great idea. When I get down to Chicago, I'll definitely join you folks. Looks like a TON of fun. If you're ever in Milwaukee, please look me up. My treat for coffee!
