Guest Bonzi Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) What is your nearest metro area? I am attempting to start a compilation of grip enthusiasts' locations for possible events. I will start. I am about 150 miles from Dallas and Houston both. Texas that is. I will keep the compilation current, God willing. Edited December 8, 2007 by Bonzi Quote
