Chicago GTG? any interest?

[llsteve80]

Now I guess I have to ask, are there any members in the area that would ever like a GTG in Chicago or in the chicagoland area? It's too cold for me right now, I would rather be able to frolic outside with my fellow reppies, but I'm really open to any time of the year. We could make it a big bang downtown at a nice or trendy restaurant (Brazilian Steakhouse?), Millennium park, a hotel, whatever. All of this could happen in the suburbs too, Schaumburg has a lot to offer, as well as other locales, and perhaps the suburbs might turn out to be the most central location.

What I propose for now, is for any local members, if interested, to start throwing around some ideas in this thread here, and maybe we could work out some kind of plan.
