Yes, this is awesome! I'd say let's shoot for December 14th, since that is not quite a holiday time and is still enough time to raise interest.
Of course, agenda and things like that are another story. I'm curious about format here. What do you all think? My work with Pd tends to be more for interactive installations, but I would be willing to bring a rough bit of my set up to "demo" it. It would be nice to keep this event fairly open, but structure is a nice thing to have to make sure things actually happen.

Ok, I got the word that the space is ours. Now it is just a question
of when. How do you want to schedule this?
It will be any Sunday at around 4 or 5... They open at 4, so if we do it a bit later, that would ensure that everything is open and ready, and it will give people a bit of time to set anything up. I will need to know what day we all agree upon within the next week or so, so that we can reserve the time. There won't be any fee, so the more people you bring along (it is 21 and up, sorry), it would help with the beer sales.
December 7th December 14th December 21st
Basically, what they have there is a mixing board, which we can plug into directly, and a nice set of stage speakers, with monitors if anyone wishes to "perform" from the stage. While they don't have any "projection" system set up, that doesn't mean that you can't bring something to use.
If this works out, we could think of doing this once a month, every other month, once every 3... I also got some ideas of others who might be interested, they aren't people who use Pd, but I think the more people we get involved, the more of a chance of having this become a regular thing. Plus the "Cross-pollination" of ideas would be great. I was thinking of mentioning this to ESS (Experimental Sound Studio) and the Chicago Composers Forum. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know...
Also, as far as flyers for this, I can get them printed, and if anyone would like to post some around, that would be great...
Let me know.

It seems that this should become its own thread....
So, I still have not heard about the bar, but it would be nice to see what times that people would be interested in holding this event. I would think that with Thanksgiving coming up, that we shouldn't begin until after that, maybe the first or second Sunday of December. That would be either the 7th, or the 14th. And as I mentioned before, early afternoon might be the easiest times to acquire, as they don't have any regularly scheduled events. (They do have some bands on Sunday nights, but that is not til after 9.)
Just so everyone knows where this is:
Red Line Tap 7006 N Glenwood Just off the Morse El stop (if you exit to the North onto Lunt, it is a half block from there)
