Join us at Mystic Celt in the heart of Wrigleyville for a night of fun! The Tuesday special at Mystic Celt is $5 burgers!

Last month's event had 60 attendees from many local meetups.

We will be doing more giveaways. Check back later for more details.


**SPECIAL OFFER** Capricon, a local sci-fi convention in Wheeling, IL that takes place in Feb., will be taking memberships at the pre-reg rate of $45. Rates for Capricon changed to $55 on Jan 1st, so you will be saving $10! Please bring cash or check. It will be a blast!

**The RPG Chicago group is planning to run the following games at the meetup:**
The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Münchhausen: As nobles, players ask each other to tell a tale (for example: "Grand Poobah, please tell us about the time you singlehandedly defeated the entire Turkish army using only a corkscrew!"). Others can interject a complication any time ("But, my dear Grand Poobah, is it not true that you have a horrible allergy to cork?"). Eventually, all vote for the best storyteller.
New 1/4! - Michael S will be running a 3:16 "Carnage from the Stars" game at the Meetup.

**The Sci-fi group is planning to have a short trivia contest where each correct answer gets a kiss - a Hershey's chocolate kiss. Whoever has the most chocolate at the end wins! Empty wrappers do not count.
