funch said:To anyone who has never been to one of these meets, they are the most laid back get togethers you'll ever experience. No pressure, just hangin' out with friends, including the ones
you haven't met yet.
Even if you're just curious about it, but don't have any gear (yet; you will after you attend, trust me), just come and hang.
