From a different thread:
Thanks @avi8tor for telling me about the Sunday Morning Breakfast Club! I cleared my schedule the Sunday after you told me about it and did what you said.
For those in the Chicago area that are interested, this is their site:

Unfortunately my co-pilot had to work that morning so I went solo. I took off around 8 a.m. and departed south off Aurora (ARR) and tuned in 122.75. I keyed up and asked "where we going". There were 7-8 planes en-route to Bloomington (BMI) to eat at CJ's. Someone keyed up and told me the destination and I punched it in and enjoyed some of the friendly banter on the way. (Think the glasair driver asked why I was only operating on one engine. Evidently those things are fast.
)
Whenever my plane gets out of annual...hopefully one more week, I plan to go again as regularly as I can. After hearing about @eman1200 's Carolina breakfast club I was glad to find out that there is something like that around here.
This video turned out kind of lame as my audio recording messed up on the way down and I wasn't able to use any of the fun finding out where/banter on the way. I planned on using that and cutting most of the return flight but since that was all I had, I posted it anyway. I know most people by now have seen synthetic vision on ForeFlight but since I just updated to it, I was able to show a little of that and toyed with how to put the iPad footage in video's. Otherwise, nothing special here.
