Ahhhhhhhhh.. It would have to be on a weekend when I'm out of town.

I would say something like "Unfortunately, I'm going to be in Hawaii. wah!" but that just comes of as... well.. You know.. So I won't.. But wait, I just did. darn.

Sounds like a blast though! Hopefully there will be other Los Angeles meet ups of PE folks as I would love to get together with people!

Will have to be next time for me!

P.S. Mooniac is the best username ever... I chuckle every time I see it.
