"Did Joe Craig say that moonshine & music isn't conducive to having a conversation?!?!"

If I didn't, I should have!

Hey, I *LOVE* the parties, and I'm the introvert in the group. However, I love the sitting in the quiet lobby, lounge, bar and chatting with people just as much. The lobby bar in W. Palm Beach was a great meeting place last year. Hope for more.

Maybe there should be some designated socializing locations. One event that I used to attend had a dedicated session held in a banquet type room, with perhaps a dozen tables. Each table was "hosted" and with a sign -- similar to Clint's cards -- on each table. Tables had a designated topic, and there was a forced rotation every 10 minutes. You could visit 4 or 5 such things in a 50 minute session. Guess this is like the speed dating approach. It was a fairly successful type of session, too!

And ... hope for more parties, too! And moonshine and music! The days of ""Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music)" still have a certain cachet!
