Re: DC
I just think it's ironic that we tried to start the Dublin meeting back in 1997 (bombed miserably due to Joey's House syndrome after about 6 months, yet still listed through 1998), but that I end up running the L.A. meeting, which people actually seem to keep going to. *shrug*
One other thing: credit where credit is due. This meeting and a good number of the people who attend it have been around longer than I've lived here. What happened was that as a group we took a dying meeting (one month, six people turned up; we went to the movies) and turned it around into something that people were willing to give up a Friday night for every month. This isn't something that I alone did in the three months I've been running the meeting out of the almost four years I've been attending, just to put things into perspective. All I can really do here is pass on what we've tried that's either worked or failed.
Thinking about it, though, this might be a good topic for the breakout areas if a) I can get time away from gooning / do it on my time off, and b) there's enough interest. Grifter? Wanna go doubles on it?
