Aaron, let me know how I can help off-list. A while back, Russ
Wright and I tossed this around, but I guess with our schedules
weren't able to pan out something. I remember I was trying (still)
for St. Pete College, but they were being turds about it being a
college-run organization with a professor as the head and approval
from the provost. We also may have had to pay a monthly fee for
facilities. I'm taking a class there now, yet I haven't tried this
semester to muster a campaign. If you can get something going with
the library, etc. I'd like to help in whatever way I can. I think
I'd rather step away from this grand academia bureaucratical nonsense.
