** We've plotted our favorites, but we probably missed some of yours. Contribute to our editable [https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zWopdJ7hSYDE.k_IagsAjAnqs google map]!
* Lodging
** We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the [http://www.sheratoniowacity.com/ Sheraton Iowa City] as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through [https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1308068499&key=3130C this event registration page]. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by '''September 14, 2013''' or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting. The Sheraton has an attached parking garage; ask about parking when you call to reserve a room.

* Transportation
** '''Bus -''' [http://www.greyhound.com/ Greyhound], [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] (routes to Iowa City from Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines)
** '''Air - ''' [http://www.eiairport.org/ Eastern Iowa Airport](CID, in Cedar Rapids) is the closest airport (22 miles); [http://www.crshuttle.com/ Cedar Rapids Airport Shuttle] can get you to and from the airport (reserve in advance).

** '''Driving -''' Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several [http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/building/john-pappajohn-business-building-johnson-ia/ public parking structures] around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

===Logistics===
* MAP of Iowa City Restaurants, Attractions, and Conference-Related Locations
** We've plotted our favorites, but we probably missed some of yours. Contribute to our editable [https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zWopdJ7hSYDE.k_IagsAjAnqs google map]!
* Lodging
** We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the [http://www.sheratoniowacity.com/ Sheraton Iowa City] as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through [https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1308068499&key=3130C this event registration page]. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by '''September 14, 2013''' or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting. The Sheraton has an attached parking garage; ask about parking when you call to reserve a room.

* Transportation
** '''Bus -''' [http://www.greyhound.com/ Greyhound], [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] (routes to Iowa City from Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines)
** '''Air - ''' [http://www.eiairport.org/ Eastern Iowa Airport](CID, in Cedar Rapids) is the closest airport (22 miles); [http://www.crshuttle.com/ Cedar Rapids Airport Shuttle] can get you to and from the airport (reserve in advance). [http://www.qcairport.com/ Quad City International Airport] (MLI) is 66 miles away, but flights are often cheaper; unfortunately, a shuttle or taxi to/from there might cost you almost as much as your flight.
** '''Driving -''' Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several [http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/building/john-pappajohn-business-building-johnson-ia/ public parking structures] around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

===Logistics===
* MAP of Iowa City Restaurants, Attractions, and Conference-Related Locations
** We've plotted our favorites, but we probably missed some of yours. Contribute to our editable [https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zWopdJ7hSYDE.k_IagsAjAnqs google map]!
* Lodging
** We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the [http://www.sheratoniowacity.com/ Sheraton Iowa City] as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through [https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1308068499&key=3130C this event registration page]. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by '''September 14, 2013''' or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting. The Sheraton has an attached parking garage; ask about parking when you call to reserve a room.

* Transportation
** '''Bus -''' [http://www.greyhound.com/ Greyhound], [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] (routes to Iowa City from Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines)
** '''Air - ''' [http://www.eiairport.org/ Eastern Iowa Airport](CID, in Cedar Rapids) is the closest airport (22 miles); [http://www.crshuttle.com/ Cedar Rapids Airport Shuttle] can get you to and from the airport (reserve in advance). [http://www.qcairport.com/ Quad City International Airport] (MLI) is 66 miles away, but flights are often cheaper; unfortunately, a shuttle or taxi to/from there might cost you almost as much as your flight.
** '''Driving -''' Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several [http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/building/john-pappajohn-business-building-johnson-ia/ public parking structures] around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

===Lightning Talks===

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

===Lightning Talks===

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

You can sign up now or during the conference:

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

You can sign up now or during the conference:

This informal conference will feature short lightning talks, longer presentations, workshops, and breakout discussion sessions covering technology in libraries, archives and museums in the Midwest. Each Code4Lib conference is different; take a look through the main [http://code4lib.org/about Code4Lib Wiki] to learn more about this volunteer-driven collective.
* Twitter hash tag: [http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23c4lmw #c4lmw]
===Location===
Code4Lib MidWest meeting will be hosted by [http://lib.uiowa.edu University of Iowa Libraries].
* '''When''' - Sunday, October 13th - Monday, October 14th
* '''Where''' - [http://www.uiowa.edu/~maps/p/pbb1.htm John Pappajohn Business Building, University of Iowa], Room W401

===Logistics===
* Iowa City Restaurants, Attractions, and Conference-Related Locations
** We've plotted our favorites [https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zWopdJ7hSYDE.k_IagsAjAnqs here], but we probably missed some of yours. Contribute to our editable google map!
* Lodging
** We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the [http://www.sheratoniowacity.com/ Sheraton Iowa City] as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through [https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1308068499&key=3130C this event registration page]. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by '''September 14, 2013''' or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting. The Sheraton has an attached parking garage; ask about parking when you call to reserve a room.

* Transportation
** '''Bus -''' [http://www.greyhound.com/ Greyhound], [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] (routes to Iowa City from Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines)
** '''Air - ''' [http://www.eiairport.org/ Eastern Iowa Airport](CID, in Cedar Rapids) is the closest airport (22 miles); [http://www.crshuttle.com/ Cedar Rapids Airport Shuttle] can get you to and from the airport (reserve in advance). [http://www.qcairport.com/ Quad City International Airport] (MLI) is 66 miles away, but flights are often cheaper; unfortunately, a shuttle or taxi to/from there might cost you almost as much as your flight.
** '''Driving -''' Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several [http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/building/john-pappajohn-business-building-johnson-ia/ public parking structures] around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

===Logistics===
* Iowa City Restaurants, Attractions, and Conference-Related Locations
** We've plotted our favorites [https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zWopdJ7hSYDE.k_IagsAjAnqs here], but we probably missed some of yours. Contribute to our editable google map!
* Lodging
** We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the [http://www.sheratoniowacity.com/ Sheraton Iowa City] as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through [https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1308068499&key=3130C this event registration page]. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by '''September 14, 2013''' or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting. The Sheraton has an attached parking garage; ask about parking when you call to reserve a room.

* Transportation
** '''Bus -''' [http://www.greyhound.com/ Greyhound], [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] (routes to Iowa City from Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines)
** '''Air - ''' [http://www.eiairport.org/ Eastern Iowa Airport](CID, in Cedar Rapids) is the closest airport (22 miles); [http://www.crshuttle.com/ Cedar Rapids Airport Shuttle] can get you to and from the airport (reserve in advance). [http://www.qcairport.com/ Quad City International Airport] (MLI) is 66 miles away, but flights are often cheaper; unfortunately, a shuttle or taxi to/from there might cost you almost as much as your flight.
** '''Driving -''' Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several [http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/building/john-pappajohn-business-building-johnson-ia/ public parking structures] around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

===Lightning Talks===

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

You can sign up now or during the conference:

* Lodging
** We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the [http://www.sheratoniowacity.com/ Sheraton Iowa City] as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through [https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1308068499&key=3130C this event registration page]. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by '''September 14, 2013''' or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.

===Lightning Talks===

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

===Lightning Talks===

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
*I wish we would do more/less of X.
*Here’s my prediction for the future of X.

You can sign up now or during the conference:

You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through [https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1308068499&key=3130C this event registration page]. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by '''September 14, 2013''' or the rooms will be released back to the public.

[http://www.qcairport.com/ Quad City International Airport] (MLI) is 66 miles away, but flights are often cheaper; unfortunately, a shuttle or taxi to/from there might cost you almost as much as your flight.
** '''Driving -''' Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several [http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/building/john-pappajohn-business-building-johnson-ia/ public parking structures] around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

2013 game night

2013-02-12T04:13:51Z

Emilyfshaw: /* Tsuro (7:45) */

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

= Schedule =
Tuesday night the 11th.

Rough Schedule:

7:30 setup
7:45 start playing games!
10:30 start winding down (don't start new games)
11:00 all done, turn off the lights

= Where =

We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

= Games =

Some notes:

We may have more people signed up for this night than there is space. Due to that, we're going to try to set up tables in the space that volunteers who aren't playing can also teach. Also, we may have to ask people to find somewhere else to play if we need overfill. We'll try to make a list of locations that might have tables and space that people can go to in walking distance. Also, given some of the constraints, I'm going to say two-player games can be added, but may ask them to move out to the overfill since it's a bit easier for two people to find a spot to play and it'll free up some room. We're going to have to play this by ear, my apologizes. I hope we can make this work!

To make the event flow smoother, we're going to have sign-ups for games at least to start with. Please, please sign up for a game. We'll be setting up games that have folks signed up and getting them seated first. Then we'll try to fill in spots or help set up folks who haven't signed up for a particular game. If you bought a game and know for sure you want to play it, add a slot below. We'll have signs on tables for the particular game slot so people can find the games. I'm still trying to decide on how we'll deal with games as they end and getting new games setup. (We'll probably have sign-up sheets at a table for future slots that people can sign up for) Look for more rules at the actual event ;).

* If you can teach the game, put (T) after name
* If you brought several games and are willing to teach them and not play, make a note on the bottom and we'll try to set them up near each other.
* Please show up 5 minutes before the game starts. Otherwise you may find your seat has been given away.
* If you bought another copy of a game and it's already on the list and full, feel free to start another one. Add a number
* Signing up for a slot only commits you for one play of the game. In other words, if you signed up for the 7:45 RoboRally and it finishes at 8:30 and someone wants to play again, you don't have to ;).

Format

== Hey, that's my fish! (7:45)==
Simple rules, but challenging play. Try to pick up fish but as you do, the ice begins to separate! Can you get the most or will you end up stuck alone on a ice flow. Fairly quick game. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/8203/hey-thats-my-fish
#
#
#
#
- Jon Gorman will be willing to teach even if he can't play. This means you might have to wait a little to start.

== Time's Up! Title Recall (7:45)==
A mix of charades and Taboo. You'll start with a set of titles and the ability to give nearly unlimted clues and go through a series of tougher rounds until it's just charades. The same titles (literature, arts, music) are used from round to round, so you'll end up even developing your own language ;). Good party game that isn't as well know as it could be. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36553/times-up-title-recall
# Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - haven't played this one before, but sounds cool!

== Wits & Wagers (7:45) ==
A trivia game where you don't need to know the answer, but when to bet on who does! http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/20100/wits-wagers

== RoboRally (7:45) ==
Who's will be the first to get their robot to finish the race course while avoiding the endless pits and the lazer blasts of other robots. But you need to fill the robot's registers with his next five moves! http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18/roborally

== Kill Doctor Lucky (8:00) ==

== Give Me The Brain! (9:00) ==
Working fast food can be rough, Particularly when you're a graveyard shift zombie. Thankfully, you don't really need to be entirely there, except for some of the most challenging tasks. In that case, you better hope you can get your hands on some brains. A card game where you try to get rid of all the cards in your hand, but your fellow gamers will be also playing cards to make that more difficult. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/176/give-me-the-brain

#

== Mahjong (8:00) ==
Chinese tile game made up of three suits, two types of "honors": winds and dragons, and bonus tiles: seasons and flowers. Typically played with four players, the game is a little bit like Rummy but with tiles. You can find more detailed information on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong. There are several variations on rules and scoring. We're playing the Chinese version with "classic" scoring.
# Karen Coombs (T)
#
#
#

== Wandering Monster (7:45) ==
Brave adventurers explore a dungeon maze and you compete with other fearsome monsters to eat the most of them. It's a movement tactics game with plenty of chances to throw obstacles at other players through card play. This is home brew so no link on BGG yet, but you can get some of the flavor from the project blog: http://gnomekeeper.blogspot.com. Good for 2-4 players so the designer can watch or play depending on interest.
# Alan Dyck (T)
#
#
#

== Race for the Galaxy (7:45) ==
In the card game Race for the Galaxy, http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28143/race-for-the-galaxy players build galactic civilizations by playing game cards in front of them that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Some worlds allow players to produce goods, which can be consumed later to gain either card draws or victory points when the appropriate technologies are available to them. These are mainly provided by the developments and worlds that are not able to produce, but the fancier production worlds also give these bonuses.

== Ideas ==

* Aviary: super-crazy cocktails. http://www.molecularrecipes.com/molecular-mixology/aviary-cocktails/ . List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight
** wdenton: any night, either drink or flight
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..
** ryan hess: sunday/monday drink or flight
** infosoph: sunday/monday yes/yes!!
** [[User:Pfeeley|Pfeeley]]: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drink or flight
** [[User:Ksprague|Ksprague]]: tuesday, drink or flight
** [[User:schwartzray|schwartzray]]: anything on any day
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 11.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday. There seems to be enough interest here to actually have a group, when and where should we meet? I added my email so that we could discuss details off the wiki.
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.
** pgrayove at gmail dot com: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.
** ranti: And I am.
** tshearerlib: Coming in at around the same time and hope to get to the museum by 1:00. Lunch first?
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements. Target for arrival at bar: 7ish. Probably a group gathering to head north around 6:30 in hotel lobby (if you want to take the #8 Halsted bus that is).

== Planned Events ==

===Read/Write Library Field Trip, Monday 2/11===
Field trip to the [http://readwritelibrary.org/ Read/Write Library] 6:30PM-9PM

Come help catalog the Read/Write Library catalog and hack on the library catalog. We will get food or go to a nearby restaurant depending on interest. We will also invite friends from Code for America to hang out and talk civic data. Bring your laptop along if you have one.

Let us know if you are coming so we can figure out food:
* Margaret Heller
* Ranti Junus
* James Griffin
* Wayne Schneider
* jrochkind will try to make it
* emily shaw (may be a little late)

'''Directions to the library from UIC:'''

''Bus''

Take the #8 Halsted Bus north to Chicago (Bus will say "#8 Halsted/79th North to Broadway/Waveland")
Take the #66 Chicago Bus west to California (Bus will say either "#66 Chicago west to Austin" or "#66 Chicago West to Pulaski." You can take either one because both Austin and Pulaski are further west than we are so both stop at California)
The Chicago bus stops on the west side of California, which is the side of the street we're on. On California, walk a block north to Walton.

''Train + Bus (slightly faster/more reliable, but only by about 5-10 minutes)''

Walk to the UIC/Halsted Blue Line
Take the O'Hare train (toward the Loop) and go all the way through the Loop and back west. Get off at Chicago and use the exit that says "North side of Chicago Ave" (or something similar — I don't remember exactly).
Take the #66 Chicago Bus west to California (Bus will say either "#66 Chicago west to Austin" or "#66 Chicago West to Pulaski." You can take either one because both Austin and Pulaski are further west than we are so both stop at California)
The Chicago bus stops on the west side of California, which is the side of the street we're on. On California, walk a block north to Walton.

=== Flying Trapeze ===
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

'''Class is full.'''

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

If you're interested in signing up, feel free to add your name and contact info to the list below.

=== Game Night! ===

See the http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night page for the latest details and to sign up for individual games or add games you're willing to lead/teach!

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

Rough Schedule:
* 7:30 setup
* 7:45 start playing games!
* 10:30 start winding down (don't start new games)
* 11:00 all done, turn off the lights

We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

The original list of people who signed up is below.

I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested in attending. Also not if you can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.

(I've added some comments to the game lists below)
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** No prob.
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve.
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG
**Done! I will bring them both -- C
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty
** I'm local and can bring a mahjong set. I've had no one to play with for years, so have probably forgotten how. -Linda B
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG
**Aww no. left my games at the office. Looks like I'll have to jump in someone else's game.
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.
* kenirwin: interested in attending
* sdellis: attending
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.
* dileshni: interested in attending.
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.
* saverkamp: interested in attending.
* Emily Shaw: I like games.
* Alan Dyck: I play Carcassonne and Munchkin among others. I see those listed so I'm bringing a game some friends and I have been creating: Wandering Monster.
* Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - I love card games like gin/rummy, but am open to anything.
* Sibyl Schaefer - attending, and will bring anything that fits in my carry-on

-- *Please, please, please, if you're signing up on this list, also sign up for a paritcular game slot to start out the evening or put your game in: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night
we're having so many people sign up after Jan. 14th we're in risk of overflowing the room. (I should have put in a cap limit, but given how late I realized this, I haven't *

I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.

The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00. We will then go to the UIC-Halsted El stop (5 blocks from hotel), change trains in the Loop, then walk 3-4 blocks to the Newberry. Otherwise, plan on making your preferred way there and meet in the Newberry lobby by 3:30.

=== Flying Trapeze ===
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

'''Class is full.'''

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

If you're interested in signing up, feel free to add your name and contact info to the list below.

=== Game Night! ===

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested in attending. Also not if you can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.

(I've added some comments to the game lists below)
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** No prob.
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve.
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty
** I'm local and can bring a mahjong set. I've had no one to play with for years, so have probably forgotten how. -Linda B
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.
* kenirwin: interested in attending
* sdellis: attending
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.
* dileshni: interested in attending.
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.
* saverkamp: interested in attending.
* Emily Shaw: I like games.

I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.

There's a "Code4Lib 2013" layer in [http://www.layar.com/ Layar], an augmented reality app that runs on both Android and iOS. You can use it to scan around the city to see two kinds of things: 1) tweets using the #c4l13 or #code4lib hashtag (if the tweets are geolocated so they can be
nailed to a point) and 2) points of interest from the [https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213549257652679418473.0004ce6c25e6cdeb0319d&msa=0 shared Google Map].

To use it:

* install Layar on your phone
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode
* search for "code4lib 2013"
* launch the layer and look around

See Code4Lib people and events overlaid on top of Chicago, in real time! See an alternate view of the city that's all about libraries and coders!

To make your own tweets appear, use the #c4l13 hashtag and make sure the tweet is geolocated. In Twitter's client you need to do this by enabling geolocation in settings and then enabling it for each tweet.

The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00. We will then go to the UIC-Halsted El stop (5 blocks from hotel), change trains in the Loop, then walk 3-4 blocks to the Newberry. Otherwise, plan on making your preferred way there and meet in the Newberry lobby by 3:30.

List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight
** wdenton: any night, either drink or flight
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..
** ryan hess: sunday/monday drink or flight
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 12.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday.
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.
** pgrayove: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.
** ranti: And I am.
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements.

'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

'''Class is full.'''

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

If you're interested in signing up, feel free to add your name and contact info to the list below.

=== Game Night! ===

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.

(I've added some comments to the game lists below)
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** No prob.
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.
* kenirwin: interested in attending
* sdellis: attending
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.

I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.

There's a "Code4Lib 2013" layer in [http://www.layar.com/ Layar], an augmented reality app that runs on both Android and iOS. You can use it to scan around the city to see two kinds of things: 1) tweets using the #c4l13 or #code4lib hashtag (if the tweets are geolocated so they can be
nailed to a point) and 2) points of interest from the [https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213549257652679418473.0004ce6c25e6cdeb0319d&msa=0 shared Google Map].

To use it:

* install Layar on your phone
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode
* search for "code4lib 2013"
* launch the layer and look around

See Code4Lib people and events overlaid on top of Chicago, in real time! See an alternate view of the city that's all about libraries and coders!

To make your own tweets appear, use the #c4l13 hashtag and make sure the tweet is geolocated. In Twitter's client you need to do this by enabling geolocation in settings and then enabling it for each tweet.

The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00.

List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight
** wdenton: any night, either drink or flight
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..
** ryan hess: sunday/monday drink or flight
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 12.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday.
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.
** pgrayove: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.
** ranti: And I am.
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements.

=== Flying Trapeze ===
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

'''Class is full.'''

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

If you're interested in signing up, feel free to add your name and contact info to the list below.

=== Game Night! ===

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.

(I've added some comments to the game lists below)
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** No prob.
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.
* kenirwin: interested in attending
* sdellis: attending
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.

I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.

There's a "Code4Lib 2013" layer in [http://www.layar.com/ Layar], an augmented reality app that runs on both Android and iOS. You can use it to scan around the city to see two kinds of things: 1) tweets using the #c4l13 or #code4lib hashtag (if the tweets are geolocated so they can be
nailed to a point) and 2) points of interest from the [https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213549257652679418473.0004ce6c25e6cdeb0319d&msa=0 shared Google Map].

To use it:

* install Layar on your phone
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode
* search for "code4lib 2013"
* launch the layer and look around

See Code4Lib people and events overlaid on top of Chicago, in real time! See an alternate view of the city that's all about libraries and coders!

To make your own tweets appear, use the #c4l13 hashtag and make sure the tweet is geolocated. In Twitter's client you need to do this by enabling geolocation in settings and then enabling it for each tweet.

The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00. We will then go to the UIC-Halsted El stop (5 blocks from hotel), change trains in the Loop, then walk 3-4 blocks to the Newberry. Otherwise, plan on making your preferred way there and meet in the Newberry lobby by 3:30.
