I will happen to be back in Chicago during the next Hardware Happy Hour on January 23rd, and I am looking forward to seeing all the projects people are working!
Some people will be in town for ORD camp so the January Meetup of Hardware Happy Hour Chicago will be on a Thursday this time to allow for people visiting to attend. As always bring projects, hack, and apparently giant LED signs.

Please bring your latest project with you! Anything you’re working on, electrical, mechanical or software works! We want to see the stuff that you’re interested in!
The next Hardware Happy Hour (3H) Chicago is Tuesday, January 15:
Bring all of your holiday gadgets and gizmos! Did you build a blinky Christmas tree ornament? Did you get a new scope from Santa? Did you take apart some toys? Bring it all to the meetup!
We’re trying out a new location for the new year! Come have a pint, show off your latest project and get to know your fellow Chicago tinkerers.

This group is based upon the idea that you are interested in hanging out and discussing hardware. Please bring a piece of hardware to show off or talk about. Are you interested in hardware, but you haven’t built anything yet? Show off software you have built! Or come prepared to talk about the projects you want to build.
There are no organized talks, it’s literally a show and tell at a bar or restaurant. In case you missed it two paragraphs ago, bring hardware. Seriously, just bring anything to talk about 🙂
The next Hardware Happy Hour (3H) Chicago is on Tuesday, September 11th, at On Tour Brewing Company

Note: you do NOT need to be a founder to attend. As long as you enjoy chatting about hardware, then you should have a good time at 3H 🙂
