Hey Happy, You need to get with Sylvia and get her to help you set it up. It would be great to have one on this side of town. This was my first time and it was a great experience.

You're welcome to look at the site I made for the Ft. Worth swap. The FAQ has a lot of info on it about swaps and how they work. As for setting one up, the biggest thing is picking a date and picking a place. Visit a lot of parks, see if they require a reservation for certain areas, or if they have events going. Saturdays from 10-2 seem to work well over here.

Here is a link that might be useful: Swap Site
