Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the potential for a Midwest Convergence event this year, including considerations of timing, location, and activities. Participants reflect on past discussions and express their availability for the proposed gathering.
Discussion Character
- Meta-discussion
- Exploratory
Main Points Raised
- Some participants inquire whether the Midwest Convergence event took place and express feelings of exclusion if it did.
- One participant confirms that the event did not happen and suggests rescheduling for the week of July 4th, citing potential activities like visiting the beach and attending The Taste of Chicago.
- Another participant expresses enthusiasm for the proposed gathering.
- Details about potential attractions and activities in Chicago are shared, including scientific and non-scientific venues, as well as fun activities like visiting Navy Pier and attending baseball games.
- Some participants indicate they will not be able to attend due to prior commitments, such as travel for research in Munich and a trip to Georgia.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree that the event did not occur, but there is no consensus on whether it will be rescheduled or on the specifics of participation, as some express inability to attend.
Contextual Notes
Participants reference previous discussions and events, but details about the exact nature of those discussions and the outcomes remain unclear.

It did not happen.
I made the last posts in that thread shortly before PF v2.0 went down. I said that I would not be able to make it in the spring, and that I would like to try again for the week of July 4th. That will be more fun anyway, because we can go to the beach, and there is also The Taste of Chicago (a week-long party at which about 1 million people show up).
I'll post more in this thread later.

OK, here is the info I posted at PF v2.0 in "Let's do Lunch", before it went down.
Scientific Attractions
http://www.fmnh.org
Museum of Science and Industry
Adler Planetarium
http://www.sheddnet.org
Fermilab Ahrkron works there, and said he would look into getting us a tour.
Nonscientific, but also Enlightening
The Art Institute
The University of Chicago Specifically, the Museum of the Oriental Institute is cool.
Fun Stuff
Navy Pier
The Magnificent Mile
http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=chc There's also the Sox, but if you want to see them, you're going without me.
And, of course, The Taste of Chicago, June 27-July 6.
Here's a http://www.suntimes.com/special_sections/taste of last year's.
I'll post some more stuff as I think of it.

Sorry, I won't be able to make it either. I'm going to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich to do some research for all of June and July.
But if anyone will be in Munich in June or July, maybe we can hit the Biergarten together.
