It starts at 7pm. The main ChiPy meetups are actually always on the 2nd
Thursday of the month at 7pm somewhere in downtown Chicago.
Here's the meetup page <http://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/events/225119338/>.

   - here are the concurrency tools in Python
   <https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrency.html>
   - and here are the docs for asyncio
   <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html#module-asyncio> -- for
