Central Illinois is a big place, but there's no where more central than Bloomington - Normal! All redditors are welcome to attend. Specific venue TBD, PM me with ideas!
Yeah last year this was in Peoria at a pub named "Kellehers" or something like that, could we possibly do that again?
@unfitfuzzball, I live in Peoria myself. We're about 45min away from Bloomington. Kellehers is a great Irish Pub here in town, usually pretty packed, so it might be difficult to get a big group squeezed in.
This is a hopeful yes for me. I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend. Any closer to figuring out a venue?
Oh yes! I am in Peoria, I'll be stopping by if this actually goes through for sure.
@WhiteZero we had it at kellehers last year, early afternoon when no crowds were there. We had more than enough room to take over the front covered area off from the hostess station, with plenty of open chairs around us. I sent the OP a suggestion of doing this at Medici in normal, but have not heard back from him yet.
I'm tentatively saying yes on this one. If one pops up in Peoria, i'll probably go to that one first though!
