Sounds like.....
       ...."Cheeses-land" , which must be a reference to Wisconsin; which lies both "north-", as well as "-west" of 1890s Chicago and vicinity.   It might make a fitting, albeit caseous, sequel to _Vineland_.   
      The vines shall spill the wine (dig that girl); add the cheese; and we gotsum snacking material worthy of any P-List assembly.
                                                                      truly,
                                                                      ruud

It sounds like we should all be arranging regional gatherings. How about a quick poll to see how many people are located where.

Pacific Northwest Region

Northern California

Southern California

Chicago and Upper Midwest 

Boston and New York

Jesusland

British Isles

Germany and Central Europe

Western Europe

Australia and New Zealand

Asia

Central America

South America

Using these vague and frankly biased geographical groupings, we may be able to plan something that would include on-line real time links to the other regional groupings. 

There may be enough people in both Boston and New York to have to separate meetings (though I need an excuse to go to NYC). Other areas may be combined due to sparseness of participants resulting in required travel. 

Peace,
Joe
