I'd like to make Al's show too, if I can. I'd be up for something in Ohio any time after Labor Day if you guys want to set something up. My gf will hopefully be here by the time the Arnolds take place, but we could make the trip back there for the show. The weather should be ok up till at least the middle of Oct. for something outside, or we could just plan for an indoor thing. Maybe just meet for dinner at a restaurant.
I think there's enough interest that we should plan to get together somewhere that everybody can get to without too much hassle. We could even just do the show and Arnold, and set a date for a summer thing for next year.
