Chicago TIA Live Seminar: Fieldtrip

[N8B]

I'd like to propose a brief social/networking hour on Monday evening(9/21) at 6:30. We can meet in the lobby and head to a nearby establishment or we can take a short "el" ride to experience one of the neighborhoods. I live and work here in Chicago for a small company so I'd like to meet others working here and elsewhere. Bring some business cards or just bring yourself. I'll post the details and spread the word at the seminar if there is some positive feedback.

I've been to Chicago a couple of times (many for Exam seminars). I'm up pending my car-pool riders decisions. I was thinking that going over to Navy Pier might be a good choice (I've not been there yet, and I understand that it's pretty close).

Isn't a day pass for the "el" about $5? I think a day pass for the bus is about $3. Could someone provide this info (I'm lazy enough to let those in the know provide this rather than look it up on the CTA website.)
