What we did last time was have a seperate myspace group for JUST people who were serious on going. Then we booted out the "sorry, turns out I can't make it". It made it easier to exchange stuff like cell numbers and nudes.
I'd say do that again, though, since Kao is too emo for myspace (<3 lol), angsty making a seperate super serkret forum should work just as easy.
I mean, this is an elitist forum, ya think we'd be elitist about gathering!
