Yet another city group. Why Chicago? Why now? We can't -- and won't -- answer those questions. But when there is something video game-related happening in or near Chicago that requires an invasion by the Destructoid Army, let us be your Central Command.

Case in point: the near-mythical Cincinnati, OH NARP taking place the last weekend in May. We can confirm that Ron Workman, Joe Burling (a.k.a. BuckF1tches), and tazarthayoot (a.k.a. WiiSucks, electro lemon) will be involved; whether they will be wearing pants is unconfirmed as of now. A few of us are planning on roadtripping from Chicago, and it promises to be good times, decent times, tragic and seemingly meaningless times, and good times again, in that order.

So if you want to be down with your fellow Chicagoans and/or get in on the NARP, comment below. We'll add you to the friends list over on the side. If you feel like giving information about which Chicago neighborhood or suburb you live in, feel free to add that too.

There's also a forum thread with a map where you can see the locations of many other dtoiders across the globe, and add yourself.

Rock over London, Rock on Chicago.
Shell. It's The World's Best-Selling Gasoline.

I'll be coming from near the Chicago area (like 2 hours east of it) but my ride, Kieth AKA BongDonkey is coming from chicago and picking me up on the way.
If a lot of people are from there and need rides, he said he could probably borrow the expedition (instead of driving his 2 seater jag)
so let him know.
or me...

NARP = No Apparent Reason Party. Check out Dtoid Cincinnati for more info on an event that will surely go down in the annals of local Cincinnati history.

So all these other groups are having NARPs, we should have one soon too! Is there anyone who's sort of "in charge" of this beast?

Representing the southwest suburbs: I'm in bolingbrook. (yes, that town that has an Ikea)
