Nashville Ruby on Rails meetup group had an awesome meeting at Portland Brew on Thursday.  I haven't been to every meeting; but even so I will declare this past meeting to be the best yet!

We had 9 people split between old timers, new timers, and at least 4 who had moved to town in the past 2 weeks. The conversation was self-propelled.  Most at the meetup had worked, or do work with Rails professionally If you are a Rails newbie, this would be a great time to come next July.  We plan to do a presentation on Test Driven Development using Shoulda (a Rails testing tool).
