Join us at Mystic Celt in the heart of Wrigleyville for a night of fun!

Last month's event had 53 attendees from many local meetups.

Empire of Chivalry and Steel Meetup is giving a seminar on 16th century English Shortsword! This western martial art, surviving through such swordsmen as George Silver, allows modern practitioners to delve into a little known martial art existing in medieval Europe. All you need to bring is yourself. Practice swords will be provided, so do not bring your own sword! I'm sure the manager would not like people swinging sharp blades around. We will cover the techniques and philosophies of if this ancient sword art.

We'll be doing more giveaways, including $10 gift cards to Mystic Celt, a $20 gift certificate to Chicagoland Games, and a personal soundtrack T-Shirt (will order to size).

Other Groups represented this month will include:

Chicago Board Games Meetup

RPG Chicago

Chicago Horror Meetup

Chicago SciFi/Fantasy Meetup

Chicago Boardgames Design Group

Chicago Browncoats

AnimeChicago Meetup
