Oh, yes, I agree that being with other people that love Joni, and especially
people that love her work so much they'd even be on this list, can be a special
treat. I wouldn't go so far as to say they feel like family, but I have had some
enjoyable times with people I've come to know through the list. Anticipating
another one was why I was so disappointed (along with all sorts of other
emotions) when the NYC folks didn't show last night. We woulda had a very good
time guys. Such a scheduling glitch is rare, though, and I'm going to forget
about it any second now.
What I most associate Joni listers with is being observant and articulate, which
can lead to some interesting conversations and some challenging ones too
sometimes, and that's fun to me, kinda like quirky brain exercise. It's always
good to get some of that.
