Well, the offer is intreiging certainly. I don't have a problem meeting with you, and I doubt anyone else would either. We love talking shop, so that wouldn't be an issue.
We meet on Thursday nights these days at my house, but if you wish to meet at some neutral location that's fine too.
As far as sharing knowledge and expereince, we are open to as much we think the other person can handle and is appropriate. Some of our stuff is pretty out there, even to an established magician (at least story wise, let alone things that the core members play with). I'm sure as we get to know each other, things will flow better. It simply might take a while for you to understand what we do and vice versa. It's all a matter of what overlapps and what doesn't.
I think the concept of "merging" the two systems is rather premature. Neither one of us really knows what the other has, or even has to offer.
But discussions have to start somewhere. If you want to meet up, it's possible to have dinner on some weekend, or if you wish to come to one of our meetings, I'm sure that would be fine, too. Why don't you email me off-list and we can coordinate from there.
