I don't want to step on anyone's toes with this project, nor do I want to
duplicate work that someone else has already done, but I don't see anything
like a comprehensive national (or international) calendar.

At this point, to the best of my knowledge, there is no Google groups
calendar set up at this point, though it would certainly be easy to do.

Next step would be to identify those individuals who could represent
different V'gon groups, such as Wet Westies or the Full Moon gang, so we can
populate the calendar.

We need to figure out who is hosting the calendar (I'd be willing), and how
to most easily access it (my suggestion is to post a link on the Vanagon
Wiki.

Am I all wet, or is this a viable and worthwhile project?
