Lots of events left to choose from!

I know it is wicked cold outside...but please consider attending an event this week! Sign-ups have been slow in recent weeks, and, after sending out the latest list, they are down to a trickle. So please...consider taking an event (or two?) this weekend.

Is there a reason for the slowness? Let me know in the comments section below what you think.

Oh, and I noticed that I accidentally added a couple exta days to the events list. Thank you to Marc Wierzbowski for pointing that out...what can I say, I was in a hurry. Monday was Meetings Day here at Buffalo.com, and I was in a bit of a rush to get the list out...a situation made more urgent when my wife got home yesterday and realized she didn't have her apartment key. But all of the events are on the day listed, the days are just a little...superfluous. I apologize for any confusion.

Here are some events that would be great to have covered...if we could get a photographer and/or writer at each of these, I would be a happy man. Please let me know if you are interested.
