Leave this thread to those meetup-crazed midwesterners who want to be all, "CHICAGOooooo, it's a wonderful town!"

Look at you--- just hatin'!! It's because you're jealous. How you WISH that you out here in the Breadbasket of America. How you WISH that you were with us here on Devon/Diwan St, a place more South Asian than South Asia.

Oh mein Gott…I’m WORKING on it. Am I the ONLY one who’s frantically trying to finish shit up on a Thursday afternoon so that she can leave somewhat early tomorrow?? You’re the third one to ask in five minutes, not that you needed to know.

We have a proposed venue, the post will be up shortly. Leave this thread to those meetup-crazed midwesterners who want to be all, “CHICAGOooooo, it’s a wonderful town!”

So…um….VENUE? Or do we plan to roam the streets and then all meet up simultaneously in a climactic emotional moment that will tug at the heartstrings, nay, tie them in clumps and play upon them as a stringed instrument?

Interesting question. I wondered about that too. Do people come out at these do’s or keep their web identities? Can you even do that when you are chatting in real time?

Ennis ~ If mutineers meet you in person do they get to find out your real name or will your nametag say Ennis?

Yes, yes please. The planets are aligning nicely for July 1 in Chicago. I don't know if it's auspicious for jewelery shopping though. Let me check with my local pundit!

According to my own Personal Swami, he said that the planets are definately auspiciously aligned for: jewelry shopping, eating at the "Taste of Punjab", consuming barfi and other delicious mithai, and finally, SM buying me the $3000 sari that I saw in the window shop last week, along with 6 CD's that I want to get: 2 ghazals, 2 Hindu filum geet, 1 Bhangra CD, and the Patel Rap CD.

Can't wait!!

I'll see what I can do about Chicago in July. I'm travelling for business part of that time, but I might be able to make something happen on Devon/Diwan street one of those weekends.

Yes! July 1. That is ideal, don't you think?

Oh, what do you say about SM'ers meeting at "Taste of Punjab" for lunch? Then, maybe we can all stroll together in a big herd along Devon/Diwan Ave, pausing every once in a while to look at the colorful saris in the window, buy some jewelry, shop for ghazal CD's, and other delights.

I’ll be at the NYC meetup, and I’ll see what I can do about Chicago in July. I’m travelling for business part of that time, but I might be able to make something happen on Devon/Diwan street one of those weekends.
