Holiday Inn Reservations

Posted Fri, 02/17/2012 - 11:07am

More than one CHSH guest was told by reservations that the hotel is booked and the block of rooms is full. I called Diane Fuentes, the sales rep at the Holiday Inn, and she said the hotel is nowhere near booked and there are still rooms available in the block for Thursday-Sunday (we always hold a couple of rooms for early/late arrivals). Diane's direct line is 312.529.1115 if you have any problems with central reservations.

CHSH No. 9 - April 14, 2012

Posted Wed, 01/11/2012 - 5:29pm

Save the date, book your travel, and reserve your room (click here for scoop on the 'Chicago(ish) Tweetup' group rate at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza), because CHSH Number 9 is official!

The Main Event (RSVP here) is Saturday, April 14th, but we hang out the Friday before and usually host an event or two (including arranging breakfast meetups) on Saturday during the day, too. Watch the upper right of the page as we add new events before we meet again.

If you've never attended a tweetup, particularly one of this size, join us anyway. Here are some helpful tweetup tips. Some of our best friendships have formed when one nervous nerd mustered the courage to hop a plane or take the El over to meet the rest of us. Be nervous. Show up anyway; you'll be welcomed by the organizers and regulars like family. It's just how we are.

See Ya In April!

CHSH has come to an end yet again and we've all gone back to our everyday lives but we ask you do do us one more favor. Please take a few moments to review the Chicago places you enjoyed on Yelp and mention "the Chicago(ish) Tweetup" in your review. If you don't have a Yelp account, it only takes a minute to sign up and really shows our appreciation to the places that have been so gracious to our little group of weirdos.

You can also join the CHSH Flickr group and add all your CHSH related pics.

Consider joining the Last.fm group to hear your music in next CHSH's playlist.

Thanks to everyone who made it out and everyone who helped make it awesome! See you next time!

CHSH No. 8 Operating Instructions

Posted Wed, 08/24/2011 - 8:56am

The August CHSH is a lower-key affair, so the only formal event we host is The Main Event, Saturday night at Mullen's Bar and Grill in Wrigleyville.

However, we spend much of the weekend in the River North neighborhood (where the Holiday Inn is located) or exploring museums or Millennium Park downtown.

Follow @chshtweetup on Twitter; organizers will post live updates of spur-of-the-moment plans throughout the weekend. Read more »
