  Keith Schacht does chicagobeta meetups and gets very good attendance (http://chicagobeta.com http://chicagobeta.com). He also runs http://freshwaterventure.com http://freshwaterventure.com.

    Keith does a good job to develop community here though it seems beta is a bit stagnant. I believe he's still working on JobCoin as well as a pretty successful facebook app

  A news.yc meetup here would be great. OpenCoffee Club here has been ruined by MidPhase but theres no reason we can't set up a weekly or monthly meeting time at a coffee shop where news.ycers can come and go, with some way to identify ourselves like a post-it note on your laptop or something. Anyone up for it?

  I am from Chicago as well. As far as I can tell, there aren't many of Us here. I suggest replying if you are from the Area and leaving your email address if it is not in your yc profile.
