I will be there.
I'll be there. Funny sidenote: ChiSec is Wed, Nov 18 at Hop Haus as well --- no RSVP required.
Excellent, thanks for organizing Mr. CCG.
There is also a Chicago Lean Startup Circle on Nov 17 7pm at ITA, 200 South Wacker, 15th floor ( http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Lean-Startup-Circle/ ).

Cool, but now I'm in a pickle. HN or Lean Startup Circle (http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Lean-Startup-Circle)?
I'm working on a side project http://chicagotechcal.com to help try and coordinate events which hopefully will reduce overlaps. I hate missing awesome events like a HN meetup.

Jake, I'm glad you did ChicagoTechCal. I've been meaning to do something like that ever since we had Chicago Startup Weekend overlapping Flourish Conf, and only a week after PyCon. I'm sorry about the overlap; Chicago has at least one person going to interview at YC, and we wanted to have the meetup before he leaves on Wednesday morning. We've already announced Tuesday night as the next meetup, so we should probably leave it, but we'll check the calendar next time to avoid an overlap.
No problem. I know that it's hard to schedule a perfect date+time that works for 40+ people. Thanks for taking the initiative with the HN meetup.
I don't know if I should have emphasized this more in the original post, but 11/17 is next Tuesday, not today. :) I wanted to give everybody a week's notice to make plans.
Congrats on getting the meetup going. I run the hackers and founders meetup in silicon valley. I have a bunch of graphics like a logo, name tags and table tents already made up if you're interested. Its open source meetup hosting.
Feel free to ping me iamelgringo @ googles email service.

Sounds good.
Darn. Would love to go guys but I have business in Las Vegas next week... seriously, it's for business.
Sounds awesome, I will try and be there. Ravi
Thanks for organizing ccg and moving the date so I could be there (I am leaving early Wed. morning for Mountain View). I apologize for the Lean Startup Circle overlap.
I will be there with my laptop to demo my product and I'll be ready to answer any questions you all think the YC team might ask.
