hi all..

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets contemplative, so I thought i'd toss out what seems to be totally logical.

When you post a schedule on TER while visiting a city, PLEASE post a location! While some do, many just post in the DC discussion area, and we're somehow supposed to psychically determine where.  And while DC isn't huge like some towns, NW DC is radically in a different direction than Cap Hill.  And since this area is uniquely configured with DC, MD and VA all in a small area, a more precise destination would be nice!

And oddly, on so many websites, the personal pages of our visiting ladies don't bother to list wheres and whens. It may seem silly, but an easy to find (like top of the page) of perhaps the next 2 weeks would be sooo nice!  And again, saying 'DC area' is like saying Florida.. Getting to Cap Hill requires a whole different set of roads than going to Georgetown.

Since I'm bitchin, I might also point out that the DC and Baltimore areas are not connected.  Since there isn't a Bmore page on TER, and DC is the closest match, posting Bmore is very important since not many DC people (I'm actually in VA, but that's another story in itself) will travel to Bmore to meet anyone.  

It's also surprising how many guests travel to one, but omit the other! Gee, if you're coming to DC, schedule a few days in Bmore or vice versa.  It makes more sense to save airfare or travel and pick up guests who won't travel from one locale to the other.  While Bmore might be a smaller option, I've also seen providers go to Bmore and skip DC completely and head off to a new location!  I'd suggest that's a mistake.  DC can certainly generate enough interest to make the lateral trip worthwhile.

OH well, that's all for now..!
