People who might be in Chicago on June 25th Chime is hosting a meetup organized by Madison+ Ruby and RubyConf -- come hear some people talk about Ruby and meet local Rubyists Register at lu.ma/ah8kp8wb I hope to see you there!

Well, I didn't ride the Rails, but I am in Detroit for this meetup tonight!
