Had a VERY nice meetup in Purcellville, VA yesterday. What a beautiful spot atop the cliffs overlooking the Potomac. Chad, John, Sofia, Karl, Caucasian Ariel, @Wags, Caroline, Scott, Ron & @Therealdcgirl @gooch @thatguyoverthere @farrocha ... lotta people not on or at least not very active on NAS, but that was OK --they still seemed mentally healthy! If I missed your handle, please @ me :)
