The discussion of a Chicago based LUG has never really come up. I think one of
the reasons has been because NILTC took the role of a Chicago Lug and also
because MichLUG does a lot with our area too.
So, what would everyone (or anyone) think of a Chicago LUG?
Obviously, a lot of the people who are in NILTC would be in the same group.
But, I would rather be in a group without an emphasis on any one theme. I
recently contacted Beth Weis (of "While you were out" fame) and she was of a
similar opinion.
I think some of the advantages would be:
1) We could attract a wider range of interests
2) We could have affiliates to certain clubs (e.g. SciBrick)
3) This could be a laid back organization that sometimes just meets for soda and
cashews instead of a strong emphasis on showing.
4) We'd establish another line of communication with the company/stores.
I'm up for it, but I'm down in Bloomington. What do you guys think? Is this
worth pursuing? Where would we meet? How could we attract interest?

I think a good location would be Schaumburg - easily accessible via highways, a LEGO store, pretty central to the Chicago suburbs (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.loc.us.il.chi)
