Anyone else going to BitBash in Chicago on September 8th?

Wondering if any fellow duders are going to BitBash in Chicago on Spetember 6th. (bitbashchicago.com) I found it via Patrick's twitter feed.

A friend and I are planning on going. Haven't solidified plans yet, but should be.

Why can't these things be held in smaller cities? #UseAustinMorePlz

I'm not going to make it to BitBash (pretty bummed about it) but am hoping to make it to the Arcade Brewery Launch Party at Logan Arcade on September 3rd at 8pm. Def let me know if you are interesting in going. I'd love to meet some fellow GBers.
