>>I'm a little bit floof-brained after work today, and I want to put something together still for Sot69 tonight if I can manage it, but I did want to say before I put it off too long and felt unneccessarily awkward about replying: Thanks for helping me get a better perspective on community running and activity. <<

I'm happy I could help. It's a complicated process.

I may not have mentioned it before, but I've got a post on running an event here:

Yay!

That's an excellent idea. It is MUCH easier to run a community or event with 2+ people than alone.

That's an option. You might also take a page from other events and ask if anyone wants to host a theme, so you don't have to do them all yourself.
