You have another week to sign up. More importantly though and once the
conference is done you are more than welcome to join Code4lib MW [0].
Okay you don't really `join` as much as you participate there. After
I've fully recovered from this and depending on interest I think at the
last meeting we felt that there was enough Chicago people that we could
have a Code4lib Chicago... but right now that is the furthest thing from
my mind. If you run away with it I am sure others will join. 

One of the things discussed was a regularly scheduled meetups... but
that may have been what I was imagining.
