** 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 1211.--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.
** pgrayoveat 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).

===Read/Write Library Field Trip, Monday 2/11===
Field trip to the [http://readwritelibrary.org/ Read/Write Library] 6:30PM-9PM
Drop in whenever during this time.
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
* Wayne Schneider
* jrochkind will try to make it
* emily shaw (may be a little late)
* <strike>kenirwin - bailed on acct of pre-conf brain death</strike>
* Andromeda - yes, unless someone gets Aviary reservations
* Chris Clement - may attend
(hey, there are great bars in that neighborhood!)
* wdenton
'''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.

=== Bourbon and barbecue ===
'''When:''' Wednesday, 2/13, 7:00 PM
Friend of mine tells me his cousin manages a Chicago restaurant, Chicago q, and I should go there and tell him my friend sent me. [http://www.chicagoqrestaurant.com/menus/dinner.php Menu] keeps talking about artisanal barbecue and extensive bourbon options. DONE.
Reservation is at 7 for a party of 8. Add yourselves.
We can take the number 20 bus to the Red Line. We should plan to meet in the lobby at 6:10; that way we can work with the bus tracker and make a leisurely trip over.

=== 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:
Rough Schedule:* 7:30 setup* 7:45 start playing games!* 10:00 start winding down (don't start new games)* 10:30 all done, turn off the lights * I highly recommend that people walk in groups to get back to their respective lodgings. I'll ask folks still around at the end to help me clean up so we can walk back to the conference hotel* Please bring your badge with. (You don't need to wear it on the way, but that'll help us make sure everyone in the room is supposed to be there.) We have a conference room (1-470) 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)
* 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?
* 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.
* 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
* 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
* cpsarason - I'm up for whatever!
-- *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.
=== UNC v Duke? ===
I'm going to watch the UNC/Duke game <strike>somewhere</strike> in the lobby of the conference hotel. Probably won't be there when it starts at 8:00 but will as soon as skating is done.

===Tuesday, February 12===
Concert - [http://www.thefatbabies.com/ The Fat Babies] playing at an awesome venue, [http://greenmilljazz.com/ The Green Mill].
'''''Directions: '''''
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 (look for the very long green & white scarf) 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.
