Ohh a gathering? any party during May or June?
		
		
	 
It's not just "a" gathering. 
NEST is THE largest gathering for people like us. Held annually for over 10 years, originally at TMF founder Max Speer's residence, and now due to vast increase in attendance for the past 7 or eight years NEST occurs in a carefully selected hotel every year in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the first weekend of May. This year, that's the evening of Friday 4th to the morning of Monday 7th.
It's well organized and well-monitored for everyone's enjoyment, safety, and security. Prospective attendees must first pre-register and are required to pass a screening process by completing a questionnaire before being invited to come. This is not only to establish sanity and amiability but also to keep the genders balanced.  Hotel info is only provided after attendees have been accepted and have paid the NEST fee in full. Hotel costs -we get a special discounted block-booking rate- are extra but reasonable.
Last year about 125 people attended, (mainly from from the U.S.A, but also from Canada, England, Germany, Portugal, and Norway- past NESTs also had participants from France, Austria and Sweden) comprising about 60% men, 40% women. Some people came as couples, some were in groups of friends, and yes, there were quite a few singles, men and women.
Here's a link to the NEST forum which will give you information and plenty of posts by happy NESTees about their experiences there.

Have fun reading all about it, and we hope to see you (and anyone else who reads this) in May.
