[Chicago] Civic Hack Day This Weekend

[Randy Baxley]

You could be right Joe.  I could be wrong.  I often am.  When I am I just
show up at your lab door.  This info though seems to say four will still be
going this Saturday.  Now if I can just figure out why I signed up to show
up at something that starts in the morning.
