It is about time that all the devart kiddies from Chicago group up. We have so many great artsy areas where we can pass ourselves off as 'artistes'...so let's get on it and meet. Where? The MCA.

We are planning to meet at the MCA... Museum of Contemporary Art...on December 28th, at 3 pm, on the MAIN STAIRCASE (ascends from ground to second floor, where big signs for exhibits are). I may be a bit early because I cannot stand to be there after anyone else, so don't freak if you are there a few minutes before 3. The admission is 6 dollars for students, 12 for non-students...so if you are out of college but have your ID, I recommend you bring it. Try to be on time, though... or wander through the MCA if you are late and look for a short girl with dyed-red hair and really pale skin..thats me...and I am REALLY easy to spot. After spending time looking at museums, we are going to wander around Michigan Avenue and maybe grab some coffee.

Why did I say "number 1 of 2" in the title of this article? Well, we hope to get at least 5 or 6 people for this..and then plan a much bigger midwestern one where we hope to get at least 20. But hell, if we can make 10 or 12 for this one, let's do it!

Now, I do ask...if you plan to attend, PLEASE send me a note. PLEASE. also, maybe a tiny description of what you look like so that I don't walk up to random people and say "hello, are you from deviantart? I'm Marcy...." and have them look at me like I just asked to have their child. it would be very appreciated. I will give you my cell number so you can call if you get lost, if you do remember to send me a note.

Hope to see you there!

Oh, and also...if you need directions, train schedules (especially if you are coming from out of town).... let me know. I can't put anyone up for the night, but I can give directions from anywhere.... two or three of the "L" lines stop within blocks of the MCA.
