I was just thinking about you the other day.
I presume that you can see that ASA has "changed" considerably since your last vist.
Actually the reason I was thinking about you was ..... now that ASA has reverted to something more like what you may have envisioned back in 1996 ...97 I was wondering if you would ever return and I was also trying to think of some way we might be able to bring the group participation up somewhat from what it is presently. As you can see, it's sparsely populated at present and not too many incidental people drop in. In talking with others at shows and various gatherings, the reputation of ASA has been undoubtably permanently scarred. Whenever it is mentioned, in my experience, the past explosive episodes are given as the reason they don't come here. I figure that if my small survey has those results, there's got to be a lot of people out there who feel the same way.
The remaining people in ASA still have their likes and dislikes, which includes both people and subjects, (which is expected and present in any gathering of diverse people) but with the absence of the " catalyst " we all choose to keep the flames at the embers level..... as it should be.
Anyway, I was thinking that since you were responsible for the inception of ASA, that perhaps you might be able to suggest something to revitalize it.
