Seems we have grown to the point where a meet and greet in our house or apartment seems a little intimidating. Unfortunately though, the alternative is to find a hall or something which costs money and you don't get to see someone's tank. Makes me think that unless we got a vendor on board to host meetings the best alternative is still the "sort of monthly social" at someone's place.
It's too bad we couldn't entice Jack and Wendell to move a satellite prop-op to a warehouse here in Calgary ...
If a win the lottery I promise I'll set one up (maybe I should buy a ticket sometime
