OK gang. I tossed this over to Todd just as an idea and he said go ahead and run with it…so I think I will.
Granted, I have much to gain from this since I travel a lot with a primary purpose of meeting fellow 'philes in cities near and far.
But, thought I to myself, wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to know who they might be able to contact in any particular city to try to go out for some dinner and wines?
With that in mind, I thought I’d start this—and I guess I’ll take on the chore of managing information as it comes in.
All of youse can help me if you are comfortable enough to list others besides yourself who you know would be interested in doing an OL with an out-of-town guest (or, equally applicable, someone new to WB). I think it would also help if you indicated whether or not you’d be willing to stand as an “organizer” for OL purposes. (with thanks to Jay Hack for noting this oversight, (O) beside your name means you are indeed willing to take the lead on organizing)
For the cities besides Toronto, I don’t know whether all the listed people are, in fact, WB-ers. A * means I’ve met the person and can, sort of ![[grin.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/5/53ba06e9b6e4b370ae7e3d7b3702ad1bda0a2d8e.gif "grin"){kind=small}
