Chicago networking lunch?

Chicago guys,

Any interest in starting a monthly lunch group during the week? I figure we all work pretty nearby and would benefit from getting to know other As and As around town. PM me or post below and we'll see if we can get something together.

I do not live in Chicago but this is a great idea. I would be interested in doing something like this in Houston if anybody is interested.

Good to see there's a little traction. Yes, we'd aim for something in the Loop, most likely on a Friday.

Anyone else? We'll aim for a Friday a few weeks out. I will PM everyone for email addresses to coordinate.

Hey guys - We'll be getting together this Friday at Lloyd's on Madison and Wacker. PM me if you'd like to join and I'll get a bigger table.
