I am writing with some brief, partial notes from our discussion at UChicago at yesterday's (Sun. 3/8/09) reading group, on several essays from Georg Lukacs's 1923 book History and Class Consciousness.

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
112 South Michigan room # 707

We want everyone from SAIC, UChicago, Loyola, DePaul and other Chicago platypi to a city-wide meeting and a night on the town.

It's about time everyone from around the city meets face to face to talk about the future of our group.

Come to discuss and plan our upcoming events in March and April  along with our first international convention in June.

I hope to see you all there!
