Something like a rent party from the 20's and 30's? Sounds like it has
promise.

Inspired comment.
Right now Megan and I seem to be the most
voluminous collectors on the
eastern MA area and we are close to each other. To get something going
needs critical mass greater than two.
Hmmm... does anyone remember 'progressive dinner parties'? You'd get
a group of friends interested in dinner, and you'd go from one house
where you'd have one part of the meal, to another where you would have
the next part, and so on...
What about something like that for viewing collections... It would
have to be a limited number of people at any one time, obviously...
I'd definitely have to clean up... :-)
