What is really amusing is how people will defend not going to something that is supposed to be a showing of a common interest and unity.
Was 3 hours short notice? Maybe. Are people expected to be on the boards 24/7? No. But the way I see it is this: a meet is a meet. People start blowing off the short notice ones, and other people blow off the long notice ones. The people that DO SHOW start to say "WTF? Why should I show up if nobody else gives a crap?" Then pretty soon you have an extict club like the faded out CJCFBO {or whatever the call letters were} that I was kinda a founding member of.
Just looking at the facts! But at least I got to meet Mike {nice dood!} and see Tim again, and have to listen to his jibber jabber about how AMCs suck...
