Since we're organizing get togethers in NY and LA next week AND actively working on a Chicago launch, we thought we'd see if we could entice a group of readers in that fair city to form their own meetup (drinks on us).

How many of you live in Chicago and would like to get together next Thursday, March 9th? How many of you would bring their cameras and help us blog the event?

Call it a kooky idea or what you will, but we're throwing the invitation out there, and using this post as an open thread for Chicago AT'ers to discuss among themselves. If you build it, we'll buy the drinks and blog it.
