So before I realized how in debt I was going to be over the next few months, I extended a show of support for a local group that is having a meet-up in the Niagara region.

It is a gathering of geeks interested in doing a few activities in the tourist city of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario Canada (not Niagara Falls).

What are they doing?

• Wine tasting
• Theater Matinée – Maybe rent a theater to present Helvetica, Steal this Movie(Piratbyran), or something else associated with web media.
• Walking sound recording tour
• Photo Walk at The Butterfly Conservatory
• Conference – Organize a professional next-gen media conference with/without the assistance of either of the Niagara post-secondary institutions. Follow up by allowing free attendance to main events while charging a small fee to engage in forum discussions with prominent figures in the Open-Source and Social Software.
