Do you know about the COWS gaming site? Mostly, it's used to coordinate the Monday night games that you said you can't make, but there are a few other groups that use it, too. Check the events calendar on that site.
There are at least 3 other groups in Chicago and the suburbs that use the COWS site to recruit for events: The group in Schaumburg meets some Saturdays, but not every week any more. There's a game one Thursday per month at Wanderer's Refuge on the north side of Chicago. And there's a group doing Sunday games in Buffalo Grove that's started posting their events on COWS recently.
There's also a group that meets Sundays in Mt Prospect that uses Warhorn to coordinate their events. And a group that meets in the western suburb of Downer's Grove, usually on Sundays, but also occasional Saturday games, which also uses Warhorn.
And our former Chicago Venture-Captain still maintains a web forum, which is frequently used to coordinate online games, and occasional games in person.
I think that's everything in Chicago and the nearby suburbs, unless you want to head south. There's a group in Northern Indiana that's probably only about an hour drive away.
It's too bad you can't make Monday nights, since that's the biggest of all the groups, and you said you live so close. We usually have 4-6 tables every Monday evening. If you're off for Labor Day this coming Monday, we're doing some modules that day, starting at 2 pm, along with the normal 7 pm game.
