Can someone shed some light for me on the ARIN meetings? I guess I want to know if it worth attending?
wanna watch sausage being made? but the arin sausage factory has become far less scary than apnic's or ripe's, by a long shot.
I really don't have a problem with watching sausage being made. But I've never seen Oscar Mayer make it, either. In either case, the ARIN process is generally pretty open. They have always been receptive to member input and, although it does have a slight resemblance to the legislative process, it's a lot closer to Pavetti Meats (local sausage maker in the town I grew up in) than to Oscar Mayer. I have always found the meet interesting and worth attending, but I'll take the aroma of good Italian sausage if I have to make a choice. :-) -- R.
