This will be our best meeting yet! ChiPy's Monthly meeting this Thurs. May 11, 2006. 7pm.
(except for folks who want to help setup at 6:30 and get first dibs on pizza) Location -------- ThoughtWorks' Chicago office 651 West Washington Blvd., 6th floor Chicago, IL 60661 Location description: "6 story, brick building on the Southwest corner of Washington Blvd. and Desplaines St." "Right next to the 90/94 freeway" "Across the street from the Social Security building" * Map <http://tinyurl.com/mgcxo> * "Official" info <http://www.thoughtworks.com/chicagoInfo.html> Call jason at 3 1 2 - 3 7 3 . 8 5 5 6 if you get locked out or lost. (The external doors should be open, but be sure to enter on the "east" side (Desplaines) Street (meter) parking is available in the area. Shoot for "free" (no meters) parking on the South side of the building if you're lucky. And be sure to feed those meters; Brother Leader Daley collects tons of cash from meter fines in this area. Garage parking is also available across the street (technically across the interstate) at the very tall SkyBridge condo building. 1) The closest "L" stop is Clinton on the "Green Line". (About an 8 minute walk from TW.) 2) The closest Metra station is the Ogilvie Transportation Center (in the Citibank Building) 2 blocks east of TW. (a 4 minute walk) 3) The closest water taxi stop is at Madison Street Bridge at 2 North Riverside Plaza. (<http://www.wendellariverbus.com/rbdock.htm>) ;-) 4) I can't find good info on the nearest helipad. Sorry, Mr. Trump. 5) Besides garage parking at SkyBridge across the freeway and meter parking around the building, there is additional garage parking at the Presidential Towers at Jefferson & Madison. There are 2 non-garage parking lots adjacent to our building. (I don't know the lots' "after 5pm" parking rules, though). Theme: If you're addicted to oil, there are lots of parking options within a short walk. Topics ------ * Selenium-testing-Django -- (Jason Huggins) * Some lightning talks, crypt ... * PyCon in Chicago in 2008, bid.
