Feel free to bring any MOCs you may have around, too - I think there's going to be lots to see, but more is better in this case. See you tonight! Looking forward (...)

Would anyone be terribly offended if I make myself a last minute addition to the meeting? I have been slipping NELUG into conversations with my wife since we moved to MA, but with all the work of a recent move and a new job (as well as an 11 month (...)
