please be respectful of the library as they want us to play videos on a lower volume (someone giving a presentation volume so still audible). we appreciate them allowing us to use their space.

post meet-up: there will be a 5:00 meetup at Time Out Market Chicago (916 W Fulton Market, Chicago IL 60607) for those interested in talking more!

the schedule is made using the assumption that shows are 25 min running, and buffering and tech difficulties don’t exist.

**disclaimer
the library specified that food is allowed (eg bagels/donuts/munchkins/chips), but as long as it's not a full meal.

~~~

please try to update your RSVP at least 12 hours before an event if you can't make it to be respectful of the people on the waitlist.

we hope to see you there!
