Matthew Duhan has been a member of the group since January 2009. A Development Manager by day, Matthew enjoys science fiction, board games, anime, MST3K, and cooking. He's pretty much of an overall geek. He attends several science fiction and anime conventions throughout the year. He is fringe on the forums.

Anne Geyer has been a member since April 2009. She is a history nerd, an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy, and alternative history, and is very active in the reading group. She is also an admitted genre TV addict, especially when it has English accents and cheesy special effects. She is Saffi-Anne on the forums, a name she got after that incident with the Swede years ago that she wishes everyone would forget about.

Bob Granstaff is a member since December of 2007. Bob can be identified by the dancing skills he is known to display at conventions. He is a longtime participant in Star Trek fandom. He is known as DANCING BOB on the forum.

Richard Jarrow has been with the group since early 2005, and was glad to find it after being a long time science fiction fan and computer geek. Rich will be taking over money collection duties at the monthly socials, plus with whatever else. Along with his long time IT work, Rich is co-owner of DoubleCluepon, which will be producing the game Emerald Kingdom, a new kind of MMORPG/persistent world. He is known as FractalSphere on the forums.

Kathy Lehman has been attending the meetup since before she even moved to Chicagoland in May of 2008, back when she was Kathy Morton from Detroit. She attends a LOT of conventions with her husband, Paul, whom she met at her first Worldcon, LACon IV. She is a volunteer for Worldcon Chicon 7 this year. Kathy will be The Money Girl at the monthly Dave & Buster's meetup for 2012. She is known as Salome121 on the forums.
