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
    • highermath: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
    • pberry: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
    • thatandromeda oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
    • gdave beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
    • 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!!
    • Pfeeley: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drink or flight
    • Ksprague: sunday/monday/tuesday, 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 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.
    • Ksprague: I'm getting in around noon, and am also interested.
  • 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).

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 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, 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. Perhaps after the newcomer dinner? 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 Dominion, 7 Wonders, Bang!, EcoFluxx and 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 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 Bohnanza and one deck of 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.
  • 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

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.

Layar: augmented reality Code4Lib view of Chicago

There's a "Code4Lib 2013" layer in 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 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.

Source code running this: Laertes. Bill Denton set it up and is very curious to find out if it's useful, so let him know if you try it out.
