We've been holding a monthly Vegas Users Group meeting in Raleigh/Cary NC for the last year.
Usually 6-12 people show up, and we cover various topics with Vegas.
This coming up meeting Thursday Sept 13 there will be a demo of Vegas Pro 8.
If you're in the area and would like to join us, either myself or teetime (Jerry) can post more details. (Jerry - hope you don't mind me volunteering you, and I'm looking forward to seeing you guys next week.)
