Comment by Fire Buddy on March 12, 2012 at 9:22pm GREAT TIME!!! It was fun to put personalities with the names, faces, and stories. Lots of inspiration, understanding, and support. Many, many thanks to Ben Munoz for taking the time and making the effort to attend. Kudos and Thanks to Debra for organizing the event. I spent my time at one end of the table, so my apologies to those at the other end for not spending more time with you. Next time I will!
It was interesting to see the "non-brain" AVMers, in addition to those of us with things "on our minds." The stories were inspirational and the support was incredible. Thank you All!
I hope more can make it to the next event. I know there were several pictures snapped... where are they? I hope at least one of them came out well. ;-)

Comment by Shogo N on March 9, 2012 at 12:59pm Is it not too late to change from "might attend" to "attending"?
We now have a location - Riverside seems to be a mid point for most people and less driving for your guys. Still looking at places for brunch/lunch, which I should have up by mid week. Any suggestions in the next few days is appreciated. Any change in attendance, please let me know. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!
Hey Ben - Leaning towards Orange County since nobody lives in La who will be attending. If you are staying in La during the brunch and no car, we would be more than happy to pick you up and chauffeur you around. Will get back to you by mid week about definite locale. Understandably, people do not want to drive to far from their home.
Hi, Debra, any updates on location? I'm in LA now.
Comment by SoCalLady on February 26, 2012 at 10:31am I live in OC. Right now I'm a bit gun shy about going any where far.
Comment by Bernie on February 22, 2012 at 8:40pm hi I'm not based in the US but really glad that you guys have something like this!!
don't think there are enough of us in singapore for one of these - i guess a Skype is possible but not necessary

My bruit was my connection to my heart, so I always thought (when I never…

I had the neurologist appointment on Monday, and he diagnosed me with "Executive Dysfunction Syndrome" that he thinks stemmed from some sort of damage to my left frontal lobe during/after my surgery (that was where my 3 AVMs were), contributing…
