I feel I know many of you frequent forum contributors even though I've never actually laid eyes upon you; along these lines, I'm wondering if maybe we could arrange a Long Course Nationals get-together, perhaps raise a cup of grog so that when we correspond via this forum in the future, we'll actually be able to put a face to the words we are reading (and which I personally have found so helpful about all things swimming).
I signed up for the meet via the online registration process, incredibly easy, by the way; unless something unforeseen occurs between now and August 15th, I plan to be in Cleveland along with some of my teammates from Sewickley, PA (we'll be swimming for Allegheny Mountain Associations Masters). Anyhow, if anyone out there is up for it, perhaps we could decide upon a rendezvous spot poolside, then go out for a beer when the day's events are over.
Hope to meet some of you guys.

Jim,
Just putting my oar in: I'd prefer a Thur or Fri get together. I have no events Sat, and my wife has arranged to visit some relatives she has in the area. I'm assuming Sun is out because many folks will be sprinting to the airport as soon as their last event is over. (I also have 2 of my 3 individual events that day.)
The R&RHoF Social Event is not a conflict for me because with our whole clan here, including several children, and $30/person, I can't see going to that one. (Also, my father the classical music buff has colorfully expressed his disinterest in visiting the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.) However, I am sure it will be an impressive event, and I am all for accomodating those who are attending.
Let me know what you decide, and I will work with that. See you there.
