Hi Chris and everyone...
I'm planning on being there on Saturday. I'm looking forward to it.

This sounds great to me, it will give us a chance to get a feel for each

I would be willing to contribute to this. How would it be set up? Do we
each bring a set or sets of the approximate values to break up at the
meeting, or would one person get it all for everybody ( with reimbursement
coming back from the attendees)? I hate putting all that responsibility on
just one person, but don't really feel qualified to take this on myself
right now...

I'll bring one or two...

I'm still new to trading ( hard for me to know worth many certain pieces)
and I have never been envolved in a Jambalaya box, but I could be convinced
to try...

Depending on how things go, I would vote for a dinner. I would suggest
eating in, could be something as simple as pizza, especially if there is a
place that will deliver. Eating in would minimixe the length of time spent
in moving the group from place to place. Of course, it is not my house, so
your comfort is more important, if you would prefer we go out, that would be
perfectly acceptable. Snacks would also be great, and I could bring some of
these, but suggestions would be in order, as most that come to mind leave
fingers greasy, and I like clean Lego. I can also bring a couple of bottles
of soda, if that would help.
I can't wait! :-)
