Hi Taylor, its not really an orientation, but a "meet and greet" where newbies and oldies (lol) meet to exchange information, laughs and to just get to know each other.

This normally occurs every 3rd Friday of the month, you'll see it on the forum calendar or I sometimes post a reminder about it. It is at Crispers on 466 and 101 @ 3pm. We can have as many as 30 people there and its a fun event. Crispers is a nice self-serve type restaurant that has good food and is reasonably priced. March's meeting will be March 18 and I hope you will be there at that time.

As far as meeting other TV'ers to meet them, PM me when you get here and I will try to arrange a special event for our other friends here to meet you. Just let me know.

BTW, you will love it here....
