Our JavaScript team has some deep Chicago roots. Mention food to Jian and he will talk about his love of Vienna beef hotdogs and deep-dish pizza. Mention weather to Marcus, and he will talk about enduring four Chicago winters before venturing West to California’s welcoming sun.

Chicago beckons. We’re making a field trip to say hi to the Windy City and to host a fun get-together for Meebo fans and fellow JavaScript enthusiasts this weekend. We’ll gather at Argo Tea (16 W Randolph St) at 4:30pm on Saturday (6/13). In addition to passing out stickers and as many tee-shirts as we can carry, we’ll also host a round of JavaScript bingo (which is far more social than cut-throat – don’t be intimidated) and answer any questions anyone has about how Meebo’s code runs behind the scenes. Most importantly, we’re looking forward to connecting with all of you and learning how we can make Meebo better. Here are the important details…

Meebo/JavaScript Meetup
Saturday, June 13th @ 4:30
Argo Tea – Theatre District
16 W Randolph St, Chicago IL 60601

Hope you can make it!

-Elaine

P.S. We’re not bashful about saying that we’re hiring. If you’re reading this and thinking, “Why do only people in Chicago get to play JavaScript bingo?” then please feel free to email us at jobs@meebo.com with your name and resume. You’ll find good company here.

    Sunshine killed my relative.

    Yep.

    Enduring Chicago winters? I love winter. I hate California, their weather, earthquakes, people and THANK GOD for Chicago and her beautiful winters.

    We don’t get FOOLED by California losers who talk about winter being bad.
    We love it. Enjoy your bankrupt loser state. Le tme guess, 70 and sunny?

    Lost a relative there to MALIGNANT MELANOMA.
    Died at 41. He
    moved there from Illinois, Chicago.

    Hi,

    Meebo is a wonderful experience! I am grateful that it’s around…it’s a wonderful alternative to the stand-alone versions of the IM programs.

    That said, I wish the rollover would go. It has had a disruptive effect on some of my IM sessions…I try not to roll my mouse over it, but sometimes it happens by accident and then my chat session is disrupted.

    Is there a way I can get rid of it? It’s at the bottom of computer screen.

    I look forward to hearing from you!

    Ho-hum, enjoy it without me.

  19. Bobby Says:

    DOH!!!

    I totally wish I could be there, I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a meetup in Chicago for so long! But I’m stuck at SIU working an internship so I can graduate in August with a Bachelor’s in Information Systems Technologies. Hire me!!!!!!!!! I need to be rescued from Chicago to go live the life in California with all you cool peoples.

    We should talk about the possibilities meebo has with going mobile! Smart Phones need some meebo love too! ;)

  24. Brandon Says:

    @Brian Thanks for the suggestion to add the event to ChicagoTweetups- the Meebo meetup is now live! http://www.chicagotweetups.com/meebo-and-javascript-meetup/

    The weather in Chicago is interesting, to say the least, but life-long Chicagoans are made tougher because of it. Enjoy the sites, Meebo team!
