Mostly dumb luck. My brother loves / eats up the astrodocs as quick, if not quicker than I do and strangely (as in, through zero conversation with me and complete coincidence), I discovered my gym partner's girlfriend was plotting and has bought a 10" dob, so they're both in for the ride. I am (assumably) considered a bit of an oddball by the type of people you describe, so it doesn't surprise me that I don't regularly associate with them. To be honest, the ideal scenario, for me, is to in a field, observing on my own. Congregation is good, but so far (and I believe this will always be the case), the truly poignant moments are those that are experience alone, with the appropriate soundtrack in the headphones.
Jeanette, I appreciate your kind suggestion, however, I will not PM you just yet, as I wouldn't want to bring a troupe without meeting you first. I'm sure I will be around here for a while, so that'll likely happen.
