I could have sworn there were more than 40 at yours, but I'll concede that I didn't do a headcount.

Not that it really matters. 30, 40, 50 people, ... the point is it tends to be standing room only. There have been events where it was only 8 to 10 people, but I think we can say that the hobby has grown a fair bit nowadays.

My biggest concern over these things is parking, it can be a bit thin, particularly in newer neighbourhoods.

Anyhow, I'm sorry that I can't host one at this point.

You're right, once you get to 30 it doesn't matter any more.

As far as parking goes it can be a pain, but in this hobby we are used to making sacrifices.

Seems that, that post started with a lot of excitment and ended with a large thump.
Is there still interest to swap frags?
