From another group system I have a suggestion. When you (the vague
you) are visiting some other city announce it. If there are AWW people
there, get together. No need for a full group (which is anywhere from
a dozen to hundreds), just whoever is free then.

Just watch out for the sand. One wouldn't want to get into an "organ

Yep - sorry that, I've been pretty busy (website stuff, fighting the
government and taking in homeless teenagers). How are things with you?

I agree, it is difficult, but I think it would be worth the effort!

I totally agree. I think that it would be a great event for so many
reasons. Put us all in a room and see what happens :-)

I'd love to see a Scott and a Pilipino sloshed and having an argument LOL

I'm in!!! I'll even pay my own airfare. I'll take any excuse to get all
dressed up and drink copious amounts of alcohol.
