Redag Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm still watching this thread with interest, even if I'm not an active poster. I'd be in favor of a January event. My February gets a little crazy rather fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hmm looking at my schedule, this weekend is out but I could do something one of the two weekends after that. I think the first three weekends in February are not good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItIsKnown Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I am ok with January 21 or 28 during late afternoon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redag Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The 21st and 28th are both good times for me, though I may have some evening opportunities on the 28th those are likely completely compatible with a late afternoon event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redag Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 In the absence of a solid proposal let me put forth a 3 or 4PM time at the Elephant and Castle and 185 N. Wabash, as per last time on January 28. Who would be game for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smegma Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have school in Evanston til 4:00, so if I do stop on by it'd be around 5:00ish. I also have plans later that night, but I would love to squeeze in some BwB time in between if peeps are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItIsKnown Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 starting around 4 would actually work easier for me that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redag Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ItIsKnown and Smegma, right now it looks like just you two and myself. Is that enough for us to lock it in? I'm on the threshold myself, I can go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyjoy Rebellion Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I might be able to make it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm down if we can get one or two more - it's a long haul from Evanston to downtown so make it worth my while, people! If you are thinking about coming or are definitely not, let us know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItIsKnown Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 IA - would rather not make a trip downtown myself unless we get 5 or so confirmed attendees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Okay it looks like a reschedule is in order - sometime in February. That actually works better for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItIsKnown Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Unfortunately I've had a lot going on this week so hadn't checked since my last post but let's try for a weekend in February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redag Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 For what it is worth, I'm completely out of weekends one and two in February, and likely four as well. I'm doing a Middleman marathon on 1, have Capricon on 2, and I believe a friend has scheduled a Walking Dead marathon for 4. Busy month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyjoy Rebellion Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I can do 2/11 (early afternoon up til 3:30), 2/18 (anytime during the day) and 2/25 (anytime during the day leading into evening). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItIsKnown Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 afternoon/evening of 2/11 & 2/18 should be ok for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 In the absence of a solid proposal let me put forth a 3 or 4PM time at the Elephant and Castle and 185 N. Wabash, as per last time on January 28. Who would be game for that?Ironically, the last time I got together with a couple of other BWBers, we went to Elephant and Castle...and I think it was the Wabash location...I have to nail down the times, but if anyone cares, I'll be at Goose Island on the 12th unless something blows up in my face...it's an early afternoon meeting, so maybe something in the mid afternoon?

lady narcissa Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Just thought I'd mention two things going on in the Chicagoland area this weekend in case any of you didn't know about them but might be interested.The RT Booklovers Convention is going on this week/end at the Hyatt Regency out by O'Hare. This convention used to be primarily geared towards romance readers. However in recent years they have shifted the focus to include many more genre authors with a lot of urban fantasy/paranormal authors making appearances. The convention itself is insanely expensive and certainly makes cons like WorldCon look like relative bargains in comparison. However they do have a giant book fair on Saturday where all the authors attending are lined up at tables autographing their books. You can bring your own copies or purchase books at the fair. The cost to attend the book fair is only $5. You can check out the list of authors appearing in the link below but some that will be there include Robin Hobb, Charlaine Harris, and Anne Rice.http://www.rtconvention.com/2012-giant-book-fairAlso this weekend is the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo at McCormick Place. Lots of stuff for comic, movie, and tv show fans as well as a few book related panels. Quite a few authors will be traveling between the RT Booklovers Convention and C2E2 except its a lot more reasonably priced to hear them at this con. So panels with Charlaine Harris and Anne Rice and other ubran fantasy/paranormal authors.http://c2e2.com/I'll be attending both cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Reyne Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 New to the forum. Just wanted to say hello. From the NW suburbs. Would love to get together with others to discuss both the books and the TV show. Hope to talk to some of you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
