I'm thinking the other thread has gotten "lost".
So...I'll start one specific to the event.
I'll cut and paste my invite from the other thread.
**********************************
So I hosted one a little over a year ago. And it was quite the event!
I don't mind hosting another...but the next 2 or 3 months are pretty booked between travel and some family things.
But, it appears the following dates are potentials. Things being as they are...any of these dates can drop off the list at any time.
March 24,25
April 21,22
May 5,6
May 19,20
So check your calendars and let me know!!
Of course....feel free to host one yourself.

Are you a two-spacer or a one-spacer?
So my daughter asked me to read one of her college entrance essays. She handed me her laptop with the essay she had just typed into Word.
When I was done reading it I had some constructive changes for her to make, but I decide to make them myself with her looking over my shoulder and with her concurrence.
And she suddenly noticed, as I finished a sentence, I hit the space bar twice. She said: “What…wait…what are you doing putting in two spaces? You are supposed to use only one!!!” 
To which I said: “You’re nuts. It’s 2. It’s always been 2. It’ll always be 2. That’s how I was taught…..some 40 years ago in my high school typing class.” 
Well she went off to Google it. And apparently that “rule” was concocted in the day of typesetters when there was no such thing as “proportional font”. The two spaces after the period served to highlight the spacing between words (which was smaller) and the spacing between sentences (which was larger). With the advent of computers…the proportional font came into vogue. And voila - one spacers were born. 
Who the fuck knew?
You know what? I am a "two spacer" and will always be a “two spacer”- damn it! In fact, I have two-spaced this entire fucking post! 
ETA: Well I'll be fucked!! Looks like the SI Font Nazis one-spaced my two-space post! Damn them!!!
