Official Meetup

In accordance with the Main Page, the official meetup of the 41,-88 graticule will be held every Saturday at 4pm Central time.

2008-05-31: Brett detoured to the coordinates while on his way to Chicago. He was unsurprised to find no one else there since he arrived half an hour late and the coordinates were far away from... everything.
2008-06-14: The location is pretty much at the eastern edge of the graticule, near I-88, right next to what appears to be a Shell gas station. I (Paradox7) plan to be there at 4pm (especially since it's the first geohash that's been within my reach!) for the meetup, anyone else coming?
- I (YellowYoshi) am expecting to be there as well, with one or two people :-) I must admit that I'm cheating, since I actually belong to the graticule to the east.
  - Heh, so do I. Living near the edge of a graticule has its bonuses, I guess . . . --Paradox7
- I'll show up as well (Spider)

We wound up with a little crowd, it was fun. I'm just sad we'll be out of town this weekend and we'll miss the big meetup downtown.

Notable Hash Dates

May 30, 2008 The geohash was located somewhere in fermilab!! I think that probably qualifies as the nerdiest geohash ever. Its a shame it was a work day, and Due to the script malfunction on that day, I (spider) didn't learn about it until the day after.
