    • Surferess, on 07/21/2008, -4/+4Way too far! Come to San Diego!
    • snds, on 07/21/2008, -1/+11Chicago is just right. For once an event is actually held here that I actually want to go to. Everything fun is always on the west or east coasts so it's nice that Digg is making it's way to Chitown.
    • thetruthis, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1You're kidding right? I'm glad people like the site, but a get together?? For what? So you can all jerk each other off? Digg is the new myspace.
  • paulsencountry, on 07/21/2008, -1/+4can't wait for the video on this one! too bad it's too far from home to make it! Digg on guys!!!!
    • cmainiac666, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2translation= "mom and dad won't let me go."
  • lingo1126, on 07/21/2008, -0/+32Chicago is going to blow NY's show away.
    • thingamajig, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Free Booze - YeeeeayyyyYAHHHAHAHA BOOOZZZZZZZEEEEEEEE !!@!!@!#!#!##
  • danmat06, on 07/21/2008, -1/+55Chicago = Gotham City now.
  • Jenniloo, on 07/21/2008, -7/+2C'mon guys! When r we gonna see u in the ATL??
  • WendyP, on 07/21/2008, -4/+7I'll be there! I'm new to the city and looking to meet some decent men. :)
    • serend, on 07/21/2008, -7/+5u look like you would fit in with a room full of men.
    • benedictkenny, on 07/22/2008, -2/+1Men in Chicago are dirty, not decent.
  • aubs, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8Never fear - Digg is planning on rolling out Meetups in many more cities around the US and abroad. We'll be releasing the full list soon on digg.com/meetup so keep checking back.
  • BRISKUSMC, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1Sure come to chicago when I'm at 29 Palms.
  • EmitStop, on 07/21/2008, -2/+3You guys need to come to Portland!
  • windycityhxc, on 07/21/2008, -9/+5Drinking in Wrigleyville = lame and overpriced.
    • centran, on 07/21/2008, -0/+11Where the hell in Wrigleyville are you drinking that is so overpriced. Almost every bar/club is normal prices you will find around Chicago. If you want anything lower then have fun at your local tavern with the 3 other people in there.... or HEY! you can even go to places with quarter beers or dollar pint nights! That's fun.
    • ryan000, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Lets not forget about a little amazing bar next door called Gingerman! a small oasis in a sea of cubs fans. (said by cubs fan)
  • legoalert33, on 07/21/2008, -6/+6Go to Detroit next.
  • BetterOffEd, on 07/21/2008, -9/+2Dupe:

    ;-)
    • faizal5k, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2ummmm...so? isn't is better to HAVE dupes of this, so people can be informed about this event?
      • BetterOffEd, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2It was a joke, slappy.

        Sorry I didn't conclude it with "/s"
  • Pledio, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12Nice! SmartBar is right down the street!
  • mlagana, on 07/21/2008, -7/+1***** it!
  • koenigje, on 07/21/2008, -7/+6I wonder if enough people bury this story as lame, would it be taken off the front page?
    • Niightwitch, on 07/21/2008, -1/+6It's not lame if you live in Chicago like I do.
  • Petrarch1603, on 07/21/2008, -6/+2please have a meetup in Portland, Ore. soon!
  • centran, on 07/21/2008, -0/+9Um... after seeing that line at NYC, I think I might pass. They should just do it at the Metro because there is no way in hell Smart Bar is going to handle that capacity... but if they had it there they would have to charge :(
    • Hetman, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1I planned on going. But you are probably right. Smart Bar is not going to hold enough people.
  • iJessicaRabbit, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6How come this is in the middle of the week and not during the weekend? I really want to come out but wednesday is hard :( I'll still try to grab some people and come anyways.

    It's right after a few volleyball games for me so I may be still covered in sand :)
    • puppyfox, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3It must be so that the latest Zero Punctuation can be more easily quoted by the attendees. Zing!
  • theratdotus, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2hahah, i saw me at 26 seconds into it on line... i think the cam zooms in for a second to the bottle of rum in my hand. wound up in a hotel with some revision3 peeps, very cool people.
  • baker2gs, on 07/21/2008, -2/+2Watch out for the frat boys.
  • dansai, on 07/21/2008, -4/+3Has there ever been a UK meetup? Will there be another? :)
  • dyreschlock, on 07/21/2008, -6/+2Christ .. a week or more notice would be nice.
    • BSeffrood, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2It's been on the bottom of Digg homepage for almost two months you have nothing to bitch about
  • jostheller, on 07/21/2008, -3/+2nerd alert!

  • simasays, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3What does one do at a Digg Meetup? Seriously.
    • iJessicaRabbit, on 07/21/2008, -1/+5Talk about Linux, the iphone, XKCD and about how cool Kevin Rose is for starting up the site?
    • LinkGCN4, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6The conversations are going to be so pathetic.
      "So.....dugg anything cool lately?"
    • BetterOffEd, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Only one way to find out...
    • theratdotus, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3i got drunk and high
  • macdaddy23, on 07/21/2008, -3/+3I love the Metro, sucks that it's a 21 show... I hate you digg
  • Koston101, on 07/21/2008, -7/+2DIGG MEET-UP IN ORLANDOOOOO
  • heliox, on 07/21/2008, -2/+2Must be at MBM's house.
  • double051, on 07/21/2008, -3/+421+ FTL

    Sorry, but at 19 years of age I cannot attend.
  • kenvsryu, on 07/21/2008, -1/+26I'll be the fat guy with the linux t-shirt.

  • faizal5k, on 07/21/2008, -2/+2my friend went to the Digg meetup in NYC and met Kevin Rose :(

    ...lucky
  • nuno86, on 07/21/2008, -5/+1FAKE!
  • alx1507, on 07/21/2008, -3/+1What the *****. I live in Michigan and have wanted to go to one of these for a long time, but they've always been a little to far for me to go to when they come to the east coast. Now they're a reasonable distance away, but I'M IN ***** LOS ANGELES until wednesday night. Irony :(
  • scot333, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1Ill be there. I'm the one with the pink shirt on that says "hated it!" call me charlie.
  • Bannedx5, on 07/21/2008, -3/+1Let's all go swooon over obama!
  • codgod04, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1most people have never seen him, but some still say Kevin Rose exists....

    Some say, that if you whisper his name in the mirror three times (*chant* Kevin rose..... Kevin Rose.... Kevin Rose.... /Chant) ..... he will appear before you, where ever you are.
  • kansai22, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2I go to smart bar occasionally. I wish it wasn't on Wednesday though. I think I may try to make it out.
  • dext3r, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2i have a stupid physics final or id come and drink and thusly puke on everyone.
    • Meursault, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3I could video you puking on another digger and post it to break.com, then digg. Imagine the headline: Digger Vomits on fellow Digger holding iPhone. Kevin Rose unharmed.

      5700 diggs, minimum.

  • Meursault, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3It'll be cool to meet other people who like rating things.
  • ivanxivann, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Digg should reallllyyyy have a meet-up in Las Vegas.
    Talk about crazy :D
  • metalgel, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Looks like I'm going to Smartbar, w00t!
  • benitojuarez, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3Im a sox fan, I'm not allowed in Wrigleyville, AKA mini san fran.
    • DeQuinceysDiet, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1I'm a Sox fan too and I'll go *****. Even to the toilet Wrigley itself. But I just don't see the appeal of standing in line to cram into SmartBar with a thousand male XKCD fanatics.
  • dexedrine, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1I was just at SmartBar this past weekend. DJ Justin Long and Luis Baro. Why so early...the party don't get started til midnight...
  • dracostimpy, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Can't make it... hosting a Heath Ledger candlelight vigil/hunger strike until he's given the Oscar he so richly deserves. You know he earned it, Academy... give it up, you little sluts!
    • BRISKUSMC, on 07/21/2008, -4/+0Heath the cocaine user has been actor that could not act or deal with lifes problems without the use of drugs and was bonging Mary Kate and Ashley and was doing lines off of a hooker does not deserve any awards but dont worry he will get it because he killed himself using cocaine.
      • dracostimpy, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1So you'd prefer Jack Nicholson I suppose? Screw off lame-o... I've been shutting your kind down all day. Just admit that you can't stand to see Heath redefine the character so masterfully after Jack made it into a cheesy stand-up routine.

  • resevil83, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1What exactly will I be missing out on if I don't go? I just don't get it. Digg is a meeting place on the web, we already have talked about everything that is worth while talking about.
  • paradoxtitan, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Damn! Of course you have to come the day i leave Chicago. Come to Michigan.
