This sounds like a great idea for those near big cities. I suspect there are members in many areas like NYC, LA, SF, London, Melbourne and so forth. For the rest, though, the Internet age makes meeting a cinch. Have any of you ever tried Google Hangouts? It's basically a free web video conferencing system that's super easy to use. You can have something like a dozen people with webcams on at the same time. Not only that, but you can set it up to stream to YouTube so others can watch. The video can then be saved on YouTube and watched anytime. Of course, you don't have to do it that way. You can set it to be more private also. Hangouts is a part of Google+.
Just a though.
