Anyone in the Johnstown, PA area up for a meetup? This Sunday, 3 July? Anyone attending NAVS Summerfest? I'll be there. One mr soyjoy will also be in the area.

No one wants to meet either of you, no one cares about GeneFilter, and everyone thinks LittleMissCranky is just being mentally challenged.

(It's not often that one gets to ruin an exceedingly rare no-MeTa-comment trifecta, so one should take the chance when one can, I always say)

I doubt it's that no one wants to meet them, Commish. It's just that Jonestown meetups always end in tragedy.

Be sure to visit the flood museum.

So if it's just me and soyjoy, is it a meetup? Do we take photos and do shoutouts? Kind of a "tree falls in a forest" question..?

I wanted to be at NAVS but this weekend was already overscheduled for me, but I can be in Johnstown fairly easily, and a meetup would be spiffy if I schlep on down there. And hey, you can see me in all my pregnant vegetarian-but-not-at-the-summerfest glory!

ooh, cool! I'm sending a bouquet of steaks to this meetup.

(kidding, kidding!)

Dreama, I'm sorry! I was already on the road to NAVS when you posted that! A meetup would have been great. Then again, I think soyjoy was on the road early afternoon Sunday, and I took off shortly after.

I can't recommend NAVS enough though. The food and people are incredible, as are the presentations and speakers. It was truly life-changing for me.

Hey, if anyone's still reading this, I only found out about this thread when I met Shane there at Summerfest. And I finally got back into town late yesterday.

Dreama, next time we'll either find a way to get you to Summerfest (hopefully along with others!) or we'll make a side trip. It was indeed a good time!

"mr soyjoy" doesn't work for me, though. If you must put something there, I prefer "senator soyjoy."
