I also like the idea of getting together with all you folks, but James is
right- plane fare (even low passage) is going to be nasty.
The idea of something more local might be a better place to start. Just for
fun, how many of you are in the northeast US? I know that there are three of
us here in NH, about 2 hours north of Boston (but I *already* know you people).
If you are in the New England area, and might possibly be interested in the
prospect of seeing how funny we all look, why don't you drop me a line? I'm
sorry to hear that the lunches James tried didn't work as well as he had
hoped, but it can never hurt to try...
