The Geeksouth / Geek Dinner group with the weblog and the forum do some of the good things the now defunct Tri-Cities Computer Club did - link up people locally with common interests who want to have fun and pass around best practice recommendations.  A lot of the reason the Computer Club declined was that questions that had been able to be asked only once a month could now be asked and answered online 24/7.  Swapmeets were no match for e-bay. 

Monthly programs were still useful in the old Club, and I think will be useful with the Geeks as well.  We should be thinking about what local programs/presenters would be interesting to have for the geek-togethers.  I was program chair for the Club and would be glad to find presenters and present some sessions myself as well.
