Hi --

I too am in the Champaign/Urbana area but could possibly come up to Chicago for a meeting if it were held on a weekend. I work at RiverGlass -- a startup that has rolled out of UIUC. We are using Lisp as a central piece of our intelligent analyst software. I work with two other "Lispers" at RiverGlass -- John Cassel and Brian Downing. They may be interested in attending meetings as well. RiverGlass has a Chicago area office that we could probably use for meetings if anyone is interested. Our office is at the TRECC facility at the DuPage airport.
