i'll be in philly all next week, any monkeys reside there?

we had an event there in december. it had a small turnout but no reason we can't do another. with some homepage promo we should be able to get more. email if you want to host it (WallStreetOasis.com>[email protected]) and ill get an event up, thanks

I'd love to host, but have no clue where a good place is as it will be my first visit. I'm staying near Logan's Square and City Hall. Any evening Sun-Thurs (1/27-1/31) after 7pm would be fine for me. Any recommendations?

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!

I'm wondering how often do people actually show-up to these things. It would make it much harder to be anonymous after such a meeting.

P.S. Midtown kitchen is a short walk for me.

i've heard reports from anything from 5-20 people depending on the city. hong kong had a huge event last month, nyc's last one also had a great turnout http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/happy-hour-review-wso-new-york#

re staying anonymous, you don't have to give out your username/name, i'm sure with common sense you would have no problem staying anonymous

I hear that. I think these things can be a great way to meet like-minded professionals.

And to protect my identity, I'll just mention that I work in the back office. It's about as good as being invisible!

What are the chances an ERP consultant has anything to chat about with you all? My schedule happens to land me in Boston for the May meetup.

I dunno what an ERP consultant does but I'm fun to drink with. If Patrick would stop scheduling the Senior Discount happy hour times I would probably be present. You should go. From my experience in NYC they are fun, and work makes up about 5% of conversations.
