Chicago's local community of various user groups focused on Drupal. Groups have meetings each month in/around Chicago. Please be sure to join our group if interested in posting or hearing about Drupal-related job opportunities in the Chicagoland area.
The Drupal Chicago Meetup Group holds meetups on various topics and networking opportunities. Presentations and speakers are aimed at a general audience, with site show-and-tells, module demonstrations, news and announcements, and question and answer sessions.
If you live or work in the suburbs, check out the Fox Valley Drupal Meetup group with topics for all users.
Volunteers in the Chicago Drupal Group also organize MidCamp - Midwest Drupal Camp. Drupal camps are multi-day events that can include training days, session days, code and documentation sprints, and social events. Held annually in March, MidCamp is quickly becoming one of the larger and prestigious Drupal camps due to its high level of speakers, content, accessibility, and attention to detail.

Doug Vann - Unemployed
OK!
It's been just shy of 6 months since I posted a discussion with the exact same title as this one. "Doug Vann - Unemployed"
While my 5 months at SlingShot SEO inc were awesome, they are going in different directions and don't need a dedicated Drupal developer on staff.
But who does? Maybe you know someone? Maybe its you?
Spread the word and let me know what you find.
I'm already involved in some contract work and [now more than ever] open to more. :-)
I'll see you all [many of you, I hope] at the 3rd Indy Drupal HackFest this Saturday!

I have CCK+Views2 making a gallery.
I have individual images as thumbnails in the gallery-view.
When you select an image you are treated to the oh so cool if not ever popular Lightbox2 display of.... the node page in an iframe. The iframe contains a whole webpage crammed into the lightbox. I don't want the header region, left and right regions, or back-ground images in the rendering.
