Andy, That's exciting! Emily is your main contact in Chicago. I'm three hours south in Indianapolis, if you're looking for a road trip to the most extraordinary Children's Museum in the world! (We do special things for our visiting Wikipedians - they're like celebrities here : ). Emily can let you know if there are any edit-a-thons or events going on then. But it's my understanding that there's not a particularly strong GLAM presence there.

I should be arriving on Tuesday evening. My event is on Weds & Thurs, so I'll be busy daytime and with the other attendees Weds evening (you could join us if you have an interest in ORCID). After that, I have Friday, Saturday and until late lunch Sunday to do sightseeing and socialise. How are you fixed? The event I'm at is : <http://orcid.org/content/orcid-outreach-meeting-and-codefest-may-2014> (I'm presenting a poster on ORCID in Wikipedia and Wikidata; registration closes on 14th May!) and I'm staying at Holiday Inn, Chicago Mart Plaza River North. I'm told I should eat pizza one evening; perhaps you might join me, and feel free to invite Chris and other Wikipedians? I'm open to other suggestions. I hope to spend some of my time birding, at the lakeside or in a park. Do you know a local birder who might help me with bird identification, for an hour or so? BTW, as a student and Wikipedia editor, you should definitely register for an ORCID identifier. Cheers, -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

It’s funny because there was what looked like a very successful Art + Feminism editathon at the Art Institute Library – I love the video they did. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/02/19/wikipedias-art-feminism-edit-a-thon/ Emily, looks like you had a hand in this?

It is one of the finer art museums in the world, and I enjoyed it immensely. A.
