Would anybody be intrested in a GTG?

Now that this board is a bit more active (yippie!!), and I know a few moms have been looking for baby groups would anybody be intrested in a GTG? We could do it as a variety, expecting and with lo's already.
Thoughts? Suggestions on where?

Re: Would anybody be intrested in a GTG?
Maybe we could do one the city and one in the burbs (since we seem to have a lot of ladies from out there)?
As for a city GTG, since we have kids of all different ages (from still gestating to toddlers), perhaps we do a brunch or something at a kid-friendly place? John's? Yolk? I'm still learning what's kid friendly, so I'm open to suggestions.
Oh, I'm glad there are a few people that are intrested. I know another mom on here is, but hasn't responded yet.
I'm up for one in the burbs, I'm near Schaumburg but will travel a little. I'm not a big city person and especially in the winter.
I have heard of that Go Play - A Jugar place, and know right where its at but haven't heard any reviews on it yet.
Is there a day of the week that works well for everybody? I'm a sahm mom so week days are clear for us. Weekends are do-able, but the next few are hectic and busy.
If I remember tomorrow morning, I'll drive by the Go Play place. I'm headed out for dentist appointment, so its really not out of my way to go by, its just a matter of remembering to go that way.
I'll report back with my findings.
Week day late morning is good here. DD usually has lunch around 12 or 1230 and naps around 1.
I believe the Go Play-A Jugar just recently opened so I dont know much about it. If we do during the week a Friday would work best for me as I'm off that day.
There's a moderately active meetup group for Downers Grove Area moms: https://www.meetup.com/moms-1142. I'm one of the organizers, and we try to have a variety of events throughout the day and week. The meetups include library storytimes, playdates at people's houses, stroller walks and moms nights.
Alright, I drove by 'Go Play' and it seems decent, but it wasn't open yet so it was dark inside.
I saw on their website that they have a group discount for mom groups. How many would be willing to make the journey to Schaumburg (rough estimate about 15 minutes on local roads from Woodfield) for a gtg? Once we get an idea on here of how many moms would be intrested we can call and see what the discount is for a 'moms group'
i'd love to do a GTG in the city.
if anyone's heard of John's Place in Roscoe Village and would be willing to go there (doesn't really matter when (i'm a SAHM) as long as it doesn't coincide with a Bears Game
) i would love to meet up!
I would be up for it. We live in Logan Square near Bucktown.
We could also look into Family Grounds Cafe.

This is a good location for me I think - just give me clear directions for the GPS. lol. Did we decide on a date yet? And yes -- we are booked for the super bowl - well dh is, I think I'm on snacks duty.
Saturday 2/12 I'm volunteering for Swap-o-rama all day - but any other weekend day is good.
