Do the non-CL lisps count here? If so, MzScheme.

I'm using Lisp as much as I would like to.

Technically none. Socially the prominence of comp.lang.lisp in comparison 
to other forums with better signal-to-noise ratio. Cognitively the way CL 
is simultaneously old and new.

Local user-group-style meetings might be interesting. I'm also interested 
in international conventions/workshops -- time and money permitting.
