Thanks Pat - I was thinking of that too, after the Southern California group started. We’re not southern! We’re a whole different demographic! ---

Define “Central Valley” 🙂 (this question could probably be a thread of its own) ---

I’m central coast, not central valley. But it still sounds better than effen L.A. I’m in. The best part of the last S.Cal dopefest was that Silenus knows where all the good, cheap booze is. ---

Central Valley=Sacramento to Fresno After I started the group and posted this thread, Social Groups were turned off by TPTB, hopefully it will be back when things settle down. ---

I hope so. I’m new to Sacramento and it’s always nice to know there are folks with a common interest around. ---

Social Groups are back! 🙂 Lets get some names in there. [http://boardstest.straightdope.com/sdmb/group.php?groupid=19](http://boardstest.straightdope.com/sdmb/group.php?groupid=19) ---

The feature’s been turned on, yeah, but no way to join the groups you’re not already in (maybe TPTB will put you in groups themselves if you request them? I dunno, but that was a suggestion, I think) ---
