[Chicago] Chicago Django Study Group

[Lane Campbell]

Brian,

Happy to make it such.  I'll be throwing up a new event for next week on
Eventbrite.  It's going to be a recurring event at the same place, same
time for the foreseeable future.  Hopefully more folks can make it out.


Regards,
Lane Campbell
