Well, we're all friends here (at least for now...).  ;-)   I'm sure we can
work out that sort of thing.

That's the idea, but some people might have misgivings about how fast it's
happening, and to be honest, that's the accomplishment that counts for most
of us.  Maybe this CJ's project will show us how far we've come.  There's
still only about a dozen people at the monthly meetings, and (as far as I
know, and this should be a major indicator of success) we don't meet new
people at shows.  That can create an impression of, um, "limited success."
How about an ARIA table at the CJ's shows so people who heard about the
shows through this list can introduce themselves?

Bottom line:  The infrastructure needed to make things happen has now been
put together (and good on ya for that).  Now it's time for those things to
happen.

Well, Wheat Williams and I went to Chattanooga to catch Glass Hammer (good
show, too, folks).

Sorry to give you that impression, Allen.  In fact, I did find out about it
from the ARIA list.  Thanks!  :-)
