Thanks Rachel for your help 

As long as you have plenty of beef sandwichers and cold 312 on hand, should be a good time!

Hmmm, I've never checked if they have 312 there, actually.  I might need to do some "research"

They've never had it in the past. Heineken is the closest they come to selling beer.

I usually stick with Dew there, though their pumpkin milkshakes are good too, and I suspect they'll have them next weekend

Looking forward to meeting everyone.  Please feel free to invite more people to the event via FB!

I am majorly bummed that I will not be able to make it to this M&G.

In Chicago everone still planning on attending?   

So how did it go?

I thought it went well concidering i was the one that wound up being late. Had a chance to put faces with names and learn a little about all who attended and even got to see some images and port work that hasn't made the web. I'd also like to give a special thank you to Rachel for her help in putting this together!

My pleasure!  It's pretty easy to work with the guys at Mr. Beef, and they always seem more than happy to have us.  It was nice to meet you and your wife too

I just wish more models would show :sigh:  Oh well.

Man, I missed it by a week Some day, I will manage to be in the right place at the right time. I feel like I'm rotating to whichever city isn't having a networking event lately...

Let the people know 3 or 4 weeks before you are heading out to Chicago and see if that will poke them into throwing a M&G. These used to be monthly events, and I think that helped with the attendance.

Yes, if you drop me a line a few weeks out next time you're in town I'll probably do something.

The monthly M&Gs became the same handful of people month after month, and attendance actually dwindled, which is why I no longer do them monthly.  I figure lots of folks would RSVP and then say, "meh, I don't feel like going tonight... I can go next month, they do this every month anyway" and just opted to not come.  I decided to stop wasting my time organizing stuff every month.
