Sean,
I started the thread to see if there was any interest, and was overwhelmed at the responses.
Unfortunately, life's realities (i.e work, family, etc.!) got in the way of my pursuing it any further at the time.
I don't have the time to organize the event myself, but would be willing to help get this off the ground if anyone else would have the time to take the lead.
I have had the fortune of meeting a few from this site and have enjoyed their company immensely. I can only imagine what fun a group outing would be like.
Scott
