Like I said in my reply to Jason Pratt.. I would come.. I'm trying to...
but the time just doesn't work for me..and it won't work for another month
or two until school gets out..please don't get discouraged.. If there
isn't a large group yet.. what about trying a new time of the people that
would go?.. or if not.. hold out for another month or two.. once school is
out I should be able to make it..
