Count me in.
I was the one at the Chicago Seminars who proposed this. I had been planning on posting a similar thread in Q1, but am glad you have beaten me to the punch. I think it would be great to have a group who all are interested in deals ex MSP. I have a list of a half a dozen interested people from the area (including FTI).
Count me in (but I am out of town Jan 22-29 at the Oneworld Megado).
