I believe this sounds like an excellent plan, since it never hurts to start being prepared for next season since Sourpuss Marcus and I need something to do and it's always nice to have a good bond with your fellow chasers!
I particularly like the idea of food and drinks and dancing!
Is there a particular day and time which would work best for you? We've got a pretty open schedule at the moment. I think we could manage the flying and then off for the drinking/eating/dancing?
I We look forward to making your acquaintance getting to know you!
