I've already stated that I'll probably be able to work out something with a LAN Party group that I'm associated with.  Great venue, food & drink provided, very reasonable pricing.  

There's already a dozen+ locals who've expressed interest (several willing to bring cabinets), as well as a few from further away who've said they might be interested in making it if it were something bigger (I've been in contact with some people who've not posted to this thread.)

Something like this will take some serious planning though, in order to get all to come together smoothly.  So it'd probably be several months away.  Your idea of getting a coupla locals involved in the works is a great one.  We could definately discuss that at a smaller meetup next month.

How about either the Dave & Busters in Addison offa 355, or the Gameworks at Woodfield?  Both are within about 20 minutes - half an hour of the Pinball Expo in Rosemont.  Sometime in the afternoon in case anyone has church stuff to do or something.  2:00?  3:00?  October 17th work for everyone?

Both/either of those sound cool to me.  Is one of those places better suited to having a large gaggle of people meeting up than the other?  I've been to D&B a few times, but I've only been to Gameworks once and I honestly don't remember all that much about it.

I do agree that a preliminary "meet and greet" sounds cool before we try to have a huge gala event.
DougHillman:
I've actually never been to either of them.  I drive past both of them regularly, and have been to Streets of Woodfield theater many times, but haven't ever bothered going inside Gameworks.  Sometime this week I'll pop into both of 'em and check things out.  From what I understand though, they'd probably both be roughly the same.  I did jump on both of their web sites earlier and remember that one of them had half-price games on Sundays.  Don't remember which that was.  That may be our deciding factor though.

id prolly bring a friend as well.

the only thing i dislike about DB's is the possible dress code,

I beleived its nice clothes only and well, shorts and t-shirts
Dartful Dodger:
Gameworks has lots of tables so it's a good place for a small informal gathering.  It also has a Mechanical Bull.

How about the October 10th or 24th?

My other expensive hobby has a race the weekend of the 17th, and I've already volunteered to help at it.

The race is up by Rockford, and it ends at 4, so if the meeting is after 6 I'd be able to make it.
