Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] psub convention in Raystown
I would like to host something like that here in my area. I'd like to get my sub running first however! I'd be too jealous of everone elses subs ! I think the perfect place for a "sub-party" would be the lee side of Catalina Island at Two harbors.
http://www.visitcatalinaisland.com/ Getting the subs over there would be problematic of course, but if that could be figured out it would be quite the party !
