I started SCing regularly in 2000 but did not join TUSCL `till Jan. 2012 (~1 yr ago).
I must say I learned a few things w.r.t. SCs prior to joining TUSCL; but I think TUSCL may have taught me more about SCs in the last year that I may have learned in the previous 11 prior to TUSCL.
So, how would you describe your TUSCL experience w.r.t. the SCing hobby:
a) made the SC hobby better b) didn't add nor take away from my SC hobbying c) took away from the hobby d) any other comments


It's definitely a good resource when travelling.
As for DB, it is also a good resource when it comes to getting even more information about what the various clubs across the nation are like extraswise. Also the DB is just plain good entertainment. Especially love the better flame wars, some of the trolls, and juicy's theatrics.
As for any serious insights into the way patrons or strippers are though, it's been very disappointing just to see how little insights board members have had. This is getting better over time, but up until the last year was just 98% clueless, circle jerk/support group.
