Fellow design addicts,
For some time now we have been considering the idea of hosting a meet-up for the members in the Mid-West region of the US. We have had the pleasure of meeting some D.A. members in the past and everyone has been delightful. We've had engaging conversations, and thought that it might be fun to get together for everyone to meet one another. We are pretty centrally located in the Chicago area so it might be a good place for folks to converge. We have a house that is well suited for entertaining and we would be happy to offer some drinks and snacks.

Before we move forward or start making plans, we'd like to gauge possible interest. If you are within driving distance of Chicago and might be interested in hanging out and visiting with other Design Addict members, please respond in this thread. if there is enough interest, we will pick a date that hopefully will work for most of those who would like to come. Who knows, if this turns out to be fun, perhaps other members will choose to initiate and host gatherings in their areas. I know D.A. members are from far and wide, but I also know that there are regions where several members hail from which might allow them an opportunity to socialize.

I look forward to your replies.

Would love to, but
We are Charleston, West Virginia - Chicago is a bit far but it sounds lovely. Perhaps if there was an auction or some estate sales at the time...maybe, also, we wanted one day to visit Oak Hill Gardens.
Interesting idea. Pay for the airfare and its a sure deal. LOL

Sign me up.
We have already worked together but my business partner and I would greatly enjoy talking shop over drinks and meeting new people.

Time dependent as well...
I'd have to be in that neck of the woods as it's a ways away. But if possible, I'll be there.

Oh, how lovely!
Partying is such sweet sorrow.
And I'm very sorry that I won't be able to attend.
Best,

I'm in Chicago, so easy travel for me. And I've been meaning to look at your stock for a while, so that would be a good time. Still have that tall wingback Pearsall chair around?

I would be glad to make the 3 hour drive, it would be a pleasure to meet the midwest DA people.
I would like to suggest a show and tell session of some modernist design objects as well. I just found some NOS Rams-Braun items this weekend! Kind of like "what I found on my summer vacation" if you attended picker kindergarden!
I am sure you could make us weepy with your finds as well pegboard.

Hey Hudson,
Is this the Hudson that my girlfriend and I met at direct auction (when I bought the Brattrud chairs) and just ran into again this weekend at the Congress Vintage Bazaar? If so...small world!

On a side note, the guy you bought the Bennington animal
from at the Vintage Bazaar is the same guy we were trying
to win the Brattrud chair for at the Direct Auction

Hope to see you and your lovely lady there.
