I'm good with names...

* Chicago Lispniks
* Chicago Lithpers ;-)
* Chicago Area Programming Languages Group - that is, Chicago APL 
Group (heh)
* Chicago Area Many Languages Group - that is, CAML Group (heh)
* Chicago Lispy Group
* Chicago Lispits
* Chicago LISPers and Friends
* Chicago Area LISPies et al
* Chicago LISPit etc.

To me, my interest in LISP has never been about AI or functional 
languages, etc - it was more about the capabilities of it and the 
programming nature of LISP.  OOP on LISP has some interest, but OOP in 
anything but Ruby and Smalltalk has the feel of being "bolted on" 
rather than "integrated in" but haven't tried LISP OOP in depth yet.
