One topic of the meeting Friday might be options for a dinner on Saturday.

Dinner options:

Local to the conference hotel
Greektown (take the CTA blue line that goes by the hotel, walk a couple of blocks from the west edge of downtown)
River North (blue line to clark/lake then a couple blocks north)
If anyone is interested, I can host a visit/tour and/or meeting at the Google Office on Saturday before or after the dinner. - Jessie

Feel free to list your interest in attending either of the above below:

VernCeder (both)
Charles Severance (both might work - but something during the day might be nice as well)
Dean Goodmanson. In for dinner on Saturday. I'll be at the Board Games social in on of the open spaces area on Friday and Saturday night. I can provide some light games if folks would like to continue chats in that environment.
