I have a pretty big apt with a fouton, a couch and a couple of big rooms where people could set up shop with blankets/sleeping bags. I know Cabd has said he can host 2. Llamarble has expressed before that he is also able to host some number of people. (I believe his apt is pretty large as well.)

uhhhh. If you don't care at all about privacy, then sure. My apt also has two bathrooms, which seems important to me and is totally unrelated to your sex request.

Cabd was kicking around the idea of renting out a hotel meeting room for the daytime and then having people who want to stay in that hotel can do that as well. I'm not wild about the hotel idea for a couple of reasons, but it has been put forward as an option if people prefer it.

I think cabd was mainly thinking that because his apt, while dope, is not big enough for more than like 6 people to congregate comfortably. My apt, on the other hand, is fine for that size I think.

And the number he gave us was for some girl who might have been his girlfriend(?) and we were calling it and being like is this nacho????!?!?? and she was all like excuse me and we were like NACHO!? NACHOMAMMA?!?!???!? and she was all like what the fuck is this shit and we were like IS THIS NACHOMAMMA!?!?! And then she hung up on us for some reason so we had to break into a house.

This happened to me last time I tried to call Nacho.
Poor girl must get a lot of calls asking if she's a NACHOMAMMA...
I feel like its pretty classic nacho that it was never explained to us who that girl was.

Want to head this discussion off at the pass. If you guys have issues you need to talk about (or even if you don't and your dates just don't happen to line up, which is possible dom) please take it private.

Are you flying into Ohare or Midway?
If you are able to get to dallas/ft worth you could fly here for like 100$ round trip on spirit. Looks like it would be a little bit more expensive from Houston. Otherwise check southwest, which flies into midway.
My ex lived in Boystown. I've spent a lot of time there.
That said, I'd be down for exploring a new neighborhood.
I imagine we'll do a lot of exploring. Anyone who wants to go to wicker park or wrigleyville will have to do so without me, though. I hate those vacuous places.

South Andersonville also has Hot "G" Dog, which is the spiritual sequel to Hot Doug's, and it's also next door to a bathhouse, leather store, and the only Chicago dispensary. No wait, that doesn't sound like Andersonville at all.

The weekend of the 13-15 works best for me, but I can do other dates. We need to get together (me, llamarble, cabd, PA) and decide when this will be. We should probably have an update soonish so people can start to make travel arrangements.
A Man's Country. I honestly thought it was just a leather bar, but turns out it's a bathhouse. Just learned last week from their website.
Andersonville has Mary's Attic as well - plus @tmosphere and Replay (a barcade) just opened up here. If any of that interests any of you.
Hi shea
I imagine people will want to do some amount of daytime exploring themselves and they'll have diverse interests about what they want to do or so. I'd like us all to do 1-2 touristy things together and probably try to go out to eat a couple of times. (iirc quadz and singer often provided a dinner at their place a couple nights so that the more budget conscious didnt have to eat out every night. I think we'll probably do that too, but I also want to get a list of restaurants together that people are interested in because chicago has such great food.

Yeah, singer thats a great suggestion. If we can find a place that's just huge where it would be like 40-50 a person total that would be great. I'd also be willing to chip in on the costs myself (and I think cabd and PA and llamarble would as well.)

date is not confirmed, but we might be leaning towards the 13th because of conflicts with some of the host schedules. We're going to get together when I get back from traveling and hash out the details. Look for an announcement in thread around the 30th-1st.

It's looking like the air BNB space would end up being prohibitively expensive. Like 100-150 a night per guest. We're not about that life.
Cabd has said they can host 2 or so at their place.
LLamarble has said he can do something similar.
I can sleep 2(3 if one of the two is a couple) on a couch and futon bed, and I also have ample floor space for people to sleeping bag/air mattress it up which I think is pretty similar to how other meets have done it.

I don't know. What is there to do in Chicago, and what's cheap?
At some point I will be compiling a "list of things to do in chicago." with accompanying prices. I don't know your interests so its hard to say what would be good for you off the top of my head right now.

From what I've heard, the shedd aquarium is pretty incredible. I've never been, but that's mainly because you never end up doing touristy things in your own city. Everyone I know who has been has said it's great though.

I'm strongly considering getting the airBNB if I get this new job and have some stability.
If that happens it's going to cost me about 2500. I will not pass that cost on to participants except to say that I will accept donations to help defer the costs to myself if people want to give them.

My concern is also that I'm moving at the end of the month so my roommates might not be particularly thrilled with tons of people in the house. I'd much rather have it all centralized too. We'll see. I'm making enough money to afford it right now but my job is ending and I'm in the middle of getting a new one. If that comes true I have no problem fronting the cost to make it a better experience for everyone all around.

ok but I meant that I am making a role deck with just roles in it that you can then take with you and use in whatever games you want to in other places.
What roles should go in that deck? Should it be the same ones as the Always Just Around The Corner MS.net Official Deck or are
there different things people want?

I don't think it needs to be quite that big, though. 6 goons is excessive, for instance. Is anyone ever going to run a rl game with 30 players? Probably not.
