I've been reading Brad's and others' notices about the Denver Pragmatic Practitioners and similar meetings with growing envy. I've wanted to get something similar started in Chicago proper for quite a while, but haven't found much interest. Turns out Rinaldi expressed a similar interest during the DevDays Chicago Post-Game Party. Excellent.
If anyone else would be interested in meeting somewhere downtown every once in a while to discuss things like architecture, Whidbey, TDD and the like, please make a comment and we can work something out.
Update: Looks like Ryan posted about this before I got around to it and we already have a taker. Thanks, Ray!
