Well, I am not certain about any additional things like a projector, but they do have a wall on which to project. They have had other people do "multimedia" shows there. It ain't all that big of a place, but for what we may need, I would think it would be perfect. It really isn't all that far from Public Transport, so any smaller pieces of equipment could easily be carried.
Plus, one of the other things that would be nice, is if everyone could invite other friends to come along. The more people who may buy a beer or two, would make it much easier to actually have this as a regular thing. (Yeah, commercialism is a ....) It would also be nice to put together a flyer and post it around various colleges. I wouldn't mind putting some up at Northwestern and Loyola, they are pretty close to where I am at.
Anyway, if any of you have heard about The Morse Theater or not, but they are doing regular Sunday morning "classical" (for lack of a better word) concert, which gets broadcast live on WFMT at 11am. I think the tickets for the concert are $10, but they also have a chef that does breakfast (he is a friend of mine, and a great chef).
So, if we could make this sort of thing open to the public, and get "listeners", that might help to get a "free" space. I don't know what they might charge, but I have asked the manager, just waiting on the response.

PS, they also have a pool table, and I do like to play...

Yeah. The bar access would be sweet to have access to. A projector would be nice as well, but I also like using RCA to good ole sports-viewing tellies.
I like the collective idea, Veronica. I will ask around with some friends and see if they know anywhere ideal.

Well, I don't know if this would be something I could swing, but there is a bar in my neighborhood (Rogers Park, just off the Morse Stop on the Red Line), but I know the manager who books the bands, and they don't have anything on Sunday afternoon's at around 4 when they open, they have a nice sound system... I will inquire about using this...

I don't think any individual could host something like this. I was thinking rather, since Chicago has this large artistic community, wether we could find some collective which could lend as a room once a month. That shouldn't be very difficult. I am new in town and couldn't dare to tell, but there's plenty of spaces, I'll try to ask and hope I can come up with something more specific soon.

It is nice to see a number of people in Chicago. I don't really have any place to hold something like this, but would love to get more involved with others here in town. So far, my learning of PD has been quite in solitary confinment, and there are times when it would be nice to get someone else's perspective. The list is great, but sometimes having immediate feedback would be nice.

This is great. I wonder where we could meet? Does anyone have access to a suitable facility/space? I'll keep my eyes/ears open for opportunities. It would be nice to start a monthly get together!
