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?

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!

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.
