Hello, just putting out the feelers...

I'm going to Chicago in November for work, for a conference (AHA).

I was thinking I'd maybe check out the fixed scene for a day or so before my working period starts, and fly out a day early and hang out - but I wouldn't have anywhere to stay until 11th Nov.

Can anybody help at all? I could just stay in a hostel I know, but it would be nicer to meet someone there and hang out that's all!

Cheers,

Tash

Anybody at all? Or is the fixed scene in Chicago fairly quiet?

FYI, I've 'done a Facebook', and messaged the entire Chicago Fixed facebook community (there's only about 60 in the group can you believe?!). Hopefull somebody will get back to me and help me out, it's looking promising :)

Sorry I only just saw this. For future reference checkout the Chicago Fixed Gear Forum www.chifg.com. The Chicago fixed gear scene is alive and well. We'll be hosting the Cycle Messenger World Championships in 2012 so start claiming couches now.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
