The AstronomyCast podcast, in conjunction with some other people, organized a cruise in the Caribbean area, and had some people give talks on Maya history, Cosmology, Mars, an astronaut talking about some of his stories, a guy from the inside of Star Trek, and various SF authors.
In addition, Pamela and Fraser had routine get togethers for taping shows, star parties, and general hanging out.
