Chicago Drupal Meet Up Group
Wish I was there for the Lesson's Learned (Dis). We've been very active in helping to promote Drupal in Chicago and continue to improve from lessons learned. Please check out http://drupal.org/node/160239#comment-256755 - Also, Crell mentioned at the last CDMUG that he'd be in Barcelona - So he might have some info about the user group as well.
