Chicago Meetup

I see all you Midwestern folks sitting there at your desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and telephasic workshops in the greater Chicago area, wanting to meet other folks who understand that the meaning of life is Boards of Canada, and nothing more. Well, how about we meet up? We could do a downtown Chicago meetup, or we could all meet somewhere a little outside the city to experience BOC in nature. I myself live in Indianapolis but I know there's surely a big TWOISM base in Chicago so I'm willing to drive 3 or so hours. Let's make this happen guys and gals!
And if you don't live close to Chicago, make your own meeting happen. Us BOC babes can be found all around the USA, Canada, Europe, and the world! Twoism is awesome as all possum, but we need to see each other in person, to confirm that we are not just communicating with some really creative androids

Would love to come, but I'm in the Texas Panhandle 12 hours or so away. Also the only BoC fan here that I know of even in the music community here

I am Noah! RJ (2020K) and Danny (Scyye) met up for just 2 days in Chicago. We were both out of towners (RJ came down from PA and Danny was visiting me in Des Moines), so most of what we did involved talking BoC and other good music at the hostel Dan and I were staying at, and trying to explore as much of Chi as we could in a 2 day span. Not sure what you guys intend to do out there (i'll try and make it out but no promises btw), but I totally recommend doing a lot of walking and exploring around the city! Especially around lake michigan, big Campfire Headphase views and vibes! if anyone has any questions, please ask!

There was so much walking that day I basically collapsed when I got back to my hotel, but it easily goes down as one of the best, most laid back days I've had ever. A ton of fun walking around that area!
Just like Noah, I could possibly be up for Chicago this year but 2017 would probably be more likely for moi.

Wow, that sounded like an awesome meet up! I like the idea of experiencing city lights and nature (be it Lake Michigan or some spooky woods). We could make some s'mores and tell ghost stories while we listen to some Geogaddi o.O Would you guys be down to do a two day meet up sometime in May or June?

Here's what I'm reading so far:
Chance of attending the Chicago meet up:
Five Step Path: 100%
RJ: 33%
Noah: 42%
Me: 100%
Looking at these, we can see that there is a significant chance that the meet-up will only consist of two people. Guys, we can do better than that. If the British can arrange a yearly meet up I decree that us Americans should be more than capable of doing just the same.
