Sunil,
Welcome to the windy city user group. Looking forward to seeing you in March. I hear what you are saying about getting down to the Loop - I live in Crystal Lake - but thought it was important to first establish the live meetings at a time and place where there's a rather large technical and marketing user base, and build from there.
So far, it seems to be "paying off," (the event is free, so it doesn't exactly "pay"

, as we're up to nearly 40 people attending now. My hope is we grow to 60 or so folks attending down town.
Meanwhile, if you, or anyone else want to set up a meeting out in your neck of the woods, I'd be happy to work with you, and I'm sure there are others here in JChicago who would too!
Cheers, and welcome to you!
