<p>We are working on plans right now. We're hoping to work with our friends at Working Bikes to utilize some of their racks to pump up our options. We will certainly do our best, bike parking is important.</p>

<p>We'll need lots of volunteers (parking, load-in, check-in, support, etc.) and we'll have cool vol t-shirts plus access to the swap. We'll be in touch soon, folks.</p>

<p></p>
<p>We're glad that there's excitement about this event, we've worked hard with Bike Winter (led by the esteemed Mr. 'H Kaplan) and the wonderful Julie H. and Chainlink community for the past couple of years to make it happen.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Rock the swap!</p>

I don't think there's a whole lot to be had around there, what with probably a lot, if not most people attending the swap probably riding bikes. It's gonna suck to show up and have nowhere to lock up. Will there be some sort of provision for secure bike parking at the event?</p>

<p>I'm planning on hitting Cal's tonight, probably right at 5 but I hope I see some Chainlinkers there.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm curious about their N/A beer selection (I bet and hope it's Sharps). Cheers, Cals!</p>

<p>beerexpectations! ha! You can have all the beer you want at Cal's Liquors tonight at Chainlink Bar Night - we will be there at 5:30 tonight, 400 S. Wells!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Last one of the year and Cal's is closing at the end of the month so it may be your last time to enjoy this Chicago landmark!</p>

<p>We may not be able to have beer, Tony, we're still looking into it. Good food and coffee for sure. Obviously, it would be great but we stopped at Pulaski because the permitting, insurance, etc. was getting too expensive.</p>
