There are five members(I know of or suspect) with considerably(or incredibly) larger collections than mine, but some of them don't let on. All the processed steel from transposed iron ore being concentrated in a few places, as MT collections, might pose a risk to the Earth's axis. I do still think GA would be the best place to have a meet, but wouldn't rule out Texas, if need be. I would need to rent a conveyance to get to Texas though, since my vehicle is a POS.
I hope you guys can make it work. I don't think there's been a US meet with more than three members of the forum yet.
I listen to a lot of country music and have enjoyed a few of his songs.

Four.Ish.The Maine Meetup in 2008 consisted of myself, J-Sews, Hawkchucker and JoeBW.The Maryland Meetup had Mr. Whippy, JZMTL and J-Sews as well, and I think someone else may have shown up, but I wasn't there so I couldn't say. The Leatherman Factory Tour had J-Sews, MultiMat, Bruce and I can't recall if others went or not.SHOT '09 in Orlando also had four, but not all at the same time- I was there and so was 665ae, Polish Sumgui and Gator Johnny.There may be others, I am surprised I remembered that many!

Thanks for the correction Not a correction, merely an addition of information. Regardless of how you slice it though, they are still significantly less attended than the UK Meetups. I think even the least well attended UK Meetups have had more than 4 attendees! Def
He is having a homecoming concert in AL today and last night I was desperately trying to find an excuse to buy tickets
I wonder, is it possible, just maybe... naw, don't think so, worth asking, probably should, OK, Ok. Dose anyone know what effect having all the weight of those two collections in the same place would have on the Earth's axis? (Image removed from quote.)
I would be interested if it were in the N end of the SE. TN would likely be doable.That is, as long as there's beer. I go pretty much nowhere without beer.

I would like to attend, but it's pretty unlikely. Things would have to change drastically between now and then
So, you and Grant are going to attend the SE meet, in a helicopter?

Whisky's too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear, the little refrain should help me explain, as a matter of fact I like beer.How sad is it that I remember the words just off the top of my head... Def
Just saw this, I’m in Illinois, but I’d be interested.
