I was there last night! It was great and very energizing! Suzanne, my best wishes for your Stammtisch in Florida. Just put out the invitation -- good things will happen.

Esther, Oh how I wish I lived closer especially now that we've had a chance to meet in NYC which never would have happened if not for OS. Such good information Esther especially after Michael Pannwitz's challenge to me to start a Stammtisch in Florida. That will certainly be part of my future and I'll be re-reading all of this rich sharing again. In the meantime though, I'm heading to Taiwan (using my frequent flier miles) to revel in the international experience of my first OSonOS. Having the opportunity to create an intimacy in our local communities with OS and also connect at the International level is just awesome. So thanks again for such a complete and detailed write-up. Maybe you could skip down here to FL when we do the inaugural OS if not in 2009 certainly in 2010.
