Hey mainegal,
Cliques only become cliques because someone took the first step. Unless we talking about familes (who are stuck with each other) most of the folks at the TSM Meet met for the first time at Mousefest.
I havent found a single poster here or in real life to be exclusionary...in fact it seemed that they might have been grabbing strangers at one point.
Next time.....find
Aaron (ADP) or
Alicia (Cocowum) or
Brandie (Scarlet###...I'm sorry Brandie I can never remember the number part) or any number of people or even the Podcast team and we will be happy to assign you to a clique. Just keep in mind the old saying "be careful what you wish for".

You can even find
Don (dpucknumbernumber) and have him hum his Spiderman / Copier music.
I'm joking...but in all seriousness....take the first step and you will see how friendly we can be
