This whole event began because Townies Sameer "socalsam"
Puri and Tarun "T-Bone" Agarwal wanted to meet. After interacting
frequently on the message boards of Dentaltown.com, the
two dentists, who live on opposite coasts, decided to meet face
to face. Thinking other Townies might want to physically meet
their fellow colleagues and message board contributors as well,
they organized Townie Meeting, an annual get-together where
dentists can socialize, earn CE credits and experience what Vegas
has to offer. 2011 is the ninth official Townie Meeting, and
you're invited (Townie or not)!
