I might be able to swing an Indiana or Ohio one in perhaps November. That's not too far away from Chicago. Otherwise, we'd have to think about Mayish 2012 for Chicago. |

Although I'm open every weekend in November except the one following Thanksgiving, May-ish would sure make planning a lot easier for most folks I would think.. John |

What timing, I've been hoping for another Alembic meetup in Chicago, and talk has already started. FWIW, next May would be good, though might be wise to avoid the middle of the month when G8's in town. Joe |
