a riu smokeout has been talked about before on here. nothing ever materialized but i know a bunch of folks on icmag had one a few years back. i dont know if they still do it cuz i havent been over there in a long time. they had a bunch of people and growers with all kinds of genetics meet at a rented space on a lake. they fished, cooked out and did all kinds of shit. i think they even went by their screen names too, to keep things from being to personal for legal reasons.
i think if someone had the right initiative and organizational skills they could make it happen here at riu. as for me it would be hard to travel far because of finances, as it might be for others too. the thought has always been cool but it seems difficult to make it happen due to paranoia and location among other things.
