I think that there are quite a few people from Chicago already - is it a possibility that we could meet sometime soon?

What do you think would be a good place in Chicago for the first meeting to be?

its a possiblity it could be arranged, but it depneds on when and where

I agree with aname8. It would depend on when and where.

It's my opinion that waiting a while would be beneficial. In May there's an anime convention in Rosemont. It could be held there.

What If you live kind of far like a hour?

I'm also near Chicago. A little far, but if the meetings are only once a month (and on weekends) I might be able to make it.

The problem I have with meeting at the con in Rosemont is that it's more difficult to get to than the city, and doesn't it cost money?

@ Taiko-The con costs about $45 for the entire weekend if you get the tickets early enough. The later you get the tickets the higher the price gets.

The con sounds good as well as the once a month thing.

I believe the first meeting should be on November 15 or around that time,since I'm a student I hope it's on a week end. It should be near the centeral library in brooklyn.

I'm from Chicago. So, where do you think we should meet to chat?

im also from chicago!
y dont we introduce ourselves first!!!!
im AMY 15 n a freshmen
u?

I'm from Chicago. I can probably make it during the weekends.

Probably won't be able to make the con. And by probably I mean definitely. It's a touch too pricey, and transportation would be too difficult for me.

What about meetings at a library in Chicago proper?

>>16
Well, which library should it be, then?

That works out well also

A meeting on the weekend will work better.

I'm from Gurnee, it's a suburb north of Chicago. I don't think I can join this one but maybe if anybody lives near Gurnee (Waukegan/Libertyville area), also Lake County, let's talk on meeting in that area, I can't drive and I KNOW my parents won't let me go alone since I'm 16. But a weekend date would work well and maybe a little closer to where I live? Cuz right now it's an hour or so to Chicago

To the person above me, I live around Libertyville. Maybe we can talk about a meeting? I don't know. I kinda want to go to Chicago for a meeting, but I get that that would be a hassle. So yeah. Sorry if you don't see this immdiately, but I've never really used bulletins before. But I would like to try this. I think it would be fun!

i am also from lake county around fox lake.
i could maybe make meetings around gurnee on the weekends . nut my parents might not let me. i could also make maybe a chiago meeting depending on the day

I live near Tinley park. It's a subburb near orland park. I'm wondering if there are some people out there who live there. If there are, I'd like to maybe get together sometime at the tinley park public library. Even if you live in Monee! Feel free to contact me!

I live sort of by Chicago. sort of. By sort of I mean like 2.5 hours, but thats okay. I have family there.

I live in Naperville, 45 minutes from Chicago. I go there regularly

I don't go to Chicago a lot and it's pretty far so I might not be able to make it to the meetings and all that. But I do live somewhere a little close to Chicago. I live near Algonquin

The Harold Washington Library downtown works for me. But it has to be during the weekends. Is it alright to bring others. It feels strange to go meet with a group of strangers alone.

to everyone above. i live in the Oak Park district i think at we should meet up at

the Borders near
Norrige :7100 West Forest Preserve Avenue, Norridge, IL

or at

Chopin park :3420 North Long Avenue, Chicago, IL

and that in one of this places we all sohold meet up like one of us can go early and set up the area that were going to be using with a sign that says " Team Chicago meet up " or something and it has to be on the weekend .

I live in Chicago, and the Harold Washington Library might work for me. That's the ginormous library a ways away from Jones College Prep, correct?

I live near algonquin so anywhere in the Chicago area is good with me.

The Harold Washington Library - so should that be it?

Well, which day would be a good day for meeting?

I live in Round Lake, close to Gurnee but a little from Chicago. I can a weekend meet up some time next month if that words with anyone.

We all seem to have quite a few ideas. I would contribute, but I'm awful at locations. I could hardly tell you where you would be if you turned right from my street. Plus, that would nly add to confusion.

Any final ideas?

And what days would be good for people?

Since a few people have mentioned the The Harold Washington Library, I think that that should be the location.

Here is information about the Harold Washington Library Center:

And here is the location on Google Maps:

I'm not sure if my parents will let me go. They're overprotective, but I will try. Anyone from Naperville willing to meet up with me on the train?

To Marisa, I live in the same area.

As I have been talking to the women who, seems, to have begun organizing this, and I go to Chicago for a lot of meetups I would suggest, not a Library as a lot of the time they are full, or they do not allow meetups/groups, I would suggest The Bean, Millenium Park, Chicago IL. Most cosplay meetups are there, it is 2 minutes from the Union Station train station and there are restaurants, Borders, and other places that allow big groups to congregate.

I'm availiable to meet any saturday in January, save for the eigth; that's my eighteenth birthday :)

I can probably make it on the eighth or the fifteenth

To Rylee

I suppose anywhere would work for me. Depends on the date. Probably the best day for me would be January 15th after winter break and finals. I would like to try to do this sometime though.

Yea, the 15th would work for me 2. If it's on the 8th I can't go.

.............hmmmmmm yea the 15th yea my parents said i can go
but just one Question
1.What section is the meeting being in? cause i don't know how you guys look like.

Hey, I can't make any meet ups this month since a family emergency has popped up suddenly. Maybe a February meet up? To YoshinointheMoonlight - I know you've been working hard on getting me to go so I apologize.

I might be able 2 go but what time would we be meeting up? And where in the library.

Probably somewhere very close to the entrance of the Harold Washington Library Center - and perhaps 2:00PM would probably be the best time.

Ok guys, hey! It's AMLF, and I have been in contact with Yoshino for a while now about this.

We really need to solidify details, or this whole thing will fall to shambles.

Let's get this straight, for anyone who has questions.

January 15th, this weekend.
Harold Washing Library Center, near the entrance.
2 PM.

I suggest the best way to go about this, is to actually meet -outside- the library at 2. We stay out for approx. 20 minutes, then we can go inside once there is enough of us that no one will really feel lost.

I suggest this, as experience in cosplay meetups, we wait about an hour so that a lot of people can come, because then we have people to contact all the other cosplayers and help them find their way.

If anyone would like to contact me, as I will be there at about 2, my name is 1 224 425 3426. I am coming from Mundelein, which is near Gurnee, and I will be taking the Milwaukee North line for Metra.

I will probably be meeting up with my brother who lives right down the street, so if -anyone- needs to contact me on how to get there, or where we are, please feel free to.

Thank you all!

I should make it, since I live by the Blue Line.

Ok guys! Bundle up, it snowed like crazy last night! See ya' soon!

Alright, there seem too few people, so I guess there wasn't a successful meeting this time - I guess that we will have try for next time, then.

If we come to an agreement for a place by tommorrow, I can probably make it. I just want the place to be clear.

Hey, New girl here. ^.^ My name is Cynthia and I live in the 'chicagoland area' you could say.. I've been drawing for years, but mostly i've done Fan-gifs and Artwork on the computer.

Pleased to meet you all. ^.^

I really want to go to each meeting, but next meeting, I'll make it. I'm upset that I didn't make it in EVERY meeting.

I might be able to go on February the 19th. I hope the blizzard didn't hit too bad for any of you!

Could someone let me know when the February meeting is happening?

I'll make it on the 19th... provided that the snow doesn't block my way.

Probably February 19th would be best, but it could also be 26th if that is not do-able either.

Hi,I've just been introduced to this bulletin by Yoshino. I'm more of a writer than I am a drawer but I still like to draw. A meeting plave anywhere in Chicago should work for me. I'm a Chicagoan myslef.

OOPS there was a bit of a typo. I meant that I'm a Chicagoan myself
