July 6-9th, 2000, a group of us from AFoA got together in Naperville, Illinois to meet at, what we dubbed, the First Annual Absurdist Foundation of America Summit. It was a blast! Here are some pictures from our four days of fun :-D Most of my pics are from the day we all went to Chicago and after (due to me forgetting to bring film to Illinois with me). If you click on the pictures, it will take you to a bigger version of the picture--these are just the thumbnails (it's what I like to call, "let's make the page not take too long to load, k? k.").
"That building looks like a kidney, Lindsay!"
"So...? I *still* like it! :-P"

The Jekyll & Hyde Club--There's quite a story
behind me, Jeremy, Ariel and Dan all finally making
it to the restaurant...evil Chicago cab drivers!
Oh how amused we were at the Jekyll & Hyde restaurant...

Is it just me or is everything happening at
the same angle in this picture...?
