might happen to be traveling to Chicago the week of the 27th...

Subject: Re: Meeting? ... Yes!

Regarding the meeting time: 
I'd like to suggest we meet at 8pm because trying to get to 7pm
meetings on time can be a huge drag due to traffic, etc.

Thoughts? (Definitely speak up if you /can/ make a 7pm meeting,
but you can /not/ make an 8pm meeting.)

- Regarding meeting location:
I think it should depend on headcount. In specific, if there
will be more than 8, have the meeting in a conference room at
Laurus (Chip's employer). But if there will be 8 or less, have
the meeting at a restaurant -- Famous Dave's (ribs pub) in Addison.
