[chiglug] Hacking Night Friday

[eviljoel]

Greetings,

Jim suggested I provide some alternatives for next time (NOT tomorrow).
We sometimes meet with a more private group of people so I already did
some research on other locations along the northern Blue Line:

* https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-wormhole-coffee-chicago - We've met here
before for Programming Tonight. Not really any food besides deserts.
Open till 11 PM. Plenty of space.
* https://www.yelp.com/biz/ipsento-606-chicago - Open till midnight.
Space might be kinda tight. Louder music but not terrible. Lots of
people working on computers. Again, no real food but mini donuts.
* https://www.yelp.com/biz/starbucks-chicago-161 - It's a Starbucks but
it is close to New Wave. Closes at 10 PM. Yelp photos don't really give
me a good idea of how much space there is.

I think the best alternative is Worm Hole.
