[Noisebridge-discuss] ASL group?

Anyone here interested in having an American Sign Language study /
conversation group?

I'm low advanced - fluent enough to have most normal conversations
near full speed (with bootstrapping for jargon), planned
interpretations (e.g. ASL music videos - see my youtube acct), and
teach most stuff, but not enough to do arbitrary full-speed
interpretation. For me it's purely about the language, as I'm totally
neutral towards d/Deaf culture etc etc. I'm decently well read on ASL
linguistics & structure, so I can explain the grammar pretty well.

I could lead study or answer most grammatical and vocabulary questions
if people have some other source to work from, e.g. any of the usual
courses. (Signing Naturally is fine; the green book series - I think
just called 'American Sign Language' - is fairly good also, at least
in teacher's edition.)

So: interest? Present ability? Connection to Deaf culture and/or deaf people?
