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.

Thursday is preferable for me. I have a 50 fly on Friday and a beer or two will make no difference to my time and provide a great excuse for the normal so-so showing (actually learning to swim fly properly would maybe help)
Friday: at the RRHOF (my kids would kill me if I DIDN'T go - and they won't even be there)
Saturday: OK but a second choice - have the 100 on Sunday and need to have enough energy to finish this borderline long distance event.
If it takes a couple of beer sessions to meet everyone, that's OK too. Worse things have happened.

Am in the 60-64 50 fly, 50 & 100 free if anyone wants to coordinate pool-side after an event (or studiously avoid me)
