Hello everyone I will go out on a limb here and propose July 21st as the day and Chicago as the location. I liked Lepium's idea of choosing Chicago as a meet location so that it will be easier for all of us. I hope this does not cause inconvenience to many. I really hope all of you can make it. If we do not get a good response, let us reconsider the time and location. Please send me a message confirming your participation. Tentatively, lets plan so that we meet around 11 am. Not to emphasize this too much, but GMAT Club will provide up to $1500 of the total expenses. If there are 30 of us, not sure how we want to do this, but we can rent some Suburbans or the like. I hope that GMAT Club can pay for a nice lunch and if possible, dinner. If this goes well, we would really like to turn this into a regular event in the future.

Well, you will first need to define 'weird'

I would have loved to join you folks for lunch, but unfortunately I will be out of town whole of next week. But let me know if you guys ever meet up again.

A likely excuse. You have some kind of deformity don't you... like a second nose coming out of your ear or something? Its ok man. We don't judge.

We hold a weekly brunch on Sundays, we call it the "M7 ELITE BRUNCH - MEMBERZ ONLY"... We have t-shirts and a secret handshake. Just kidding. We get together once every month or so just to chat and catch up. Most of us met during the application process, and we've just kept in touch periodically. The group keeps growing. I'll let you know the next time we get together.
