[Note: This is somewhat urgent, so I decided to send it to both
mail-lists.]

Sorry, hopefully we'll be able to decide soon (hopefully by tomorrow).

Regarding the vote for a meeting location: Not many people voted, and
unfortunately, by my reckoning we currently have a tie:

Voting for U of C (near downtown):
    John Sergent Howard
    Darren Young
    Hal Wigoda

Voting for Laurus Technologies (Itasca)
    Carey Tyler Schug
    Russell Rezaian
    Chip Bennett

Suggestions anyone? Presumably the low voter turnout is because most
people don't have a preference...

I just sent a message to Jim Fiori (out-of-town speaker) to see if he
has a strong preference.

Also, here are a couple thoughts on both sides (wanting to be impatial myself):

An argument favoring U of Chicago
    - Both of our first two meetings were in the suburbs

An argument favoring Itasca:
    - The other speaker is Russell Rezaian and he lives in the suburbs
