=== Islandora Dinner ===
'''When:''' Wednesday, 2/13, Meet at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Lobby at 6:10PM or Meet at Pegasus by 06:30PM.
'''Where:''' [http://www.pegasuschicago.com Pegasus]
'''Contact:''' @jrgriffiniii (griffinj at lafayette dot edu)
Update: '''Tables Reserved'''
We've reserved tables for 15 people. Unfortunately, this seems to be the limit set by Pegasus. If you wish, you may attempt to form a second party and reserve the table(s) for 06:30PM.
Discuss and exchange ideas related to the Drupal-based front-end to the Fedora Commons repository! Freely discuss the status of Islandora 7, DiscoveryGarden, Inc. projects, your institutional repository instance(s), non-Islandora experiments in Drupal/Fedora interfacing, or any specific layer of the Islandora application stack.
=== Non-beery get together ===
# Karen Coombs
# Michael Levy
# Andrew Pasterfield
# Virginia Schilling
# Maccabee Levine
# Sarah Shealy (I'm pretty sure I'll fall spectacularly as well :) )
# Emily Lynema (interested!)
# Gabriel Farrell
# Gary Maixner (former hockey player! so no falling from me)
# Tim Shearer
=== Flying Trapeze ===
* 7:30 setup
* 7:45 start playing games!
* 10:30 00 start winding down (don't start new games)* 1110:00 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)
* 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
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.

== Social Map - Places of Interest==
'''''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.
