Greetings!
The folks from the Upstate NY Amiga group are planning a meeting on the weekend of May 20th and 21st for those in the central New York area in the village of Waterloo.
Anyone that wants to make the trip is welcome.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/upstatenyamiga/
please contact me at jerry.withers@gmail.com for detailed directions.
Festivities start at 10 AM ish on the 20th here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=115+east+main+street,+waterloo.new+york&om=1).
There will be a few A1 systems (XE and Mini), accelerated 3000 and 4000s, Maybe a Toaster system plus other classics, WinUAE, EUAE on Mac, and AROS. Join the mailing for the gritty details and tell us what you are bringing.
If your planning on attending, there will be network access so don't for get a cat5 cable. A power strip and/or router to share would also be handy.

Waterloo is pretty far west in the state... the narrow end too. Bummer. I would think Herkimer or Little Falls would be more central.
But at least Waterloo is a tad closer to Ithaca. Home of skinny dipping co-eds and top-free women.
-
Well I will be brining my digital camera to take shots of the event. If I get and candid photos of top-free women, !00! I can send them your way.
:-D
-
Where are you located?
I have photos of top-free Ithaca women to share. Well, one of them is the ex-gf and I'm not sure how she'd react. She's a bit insane :-)
-
Who is coming in from the direction of Albany and that region?
-
Okay, but I'd prefer Watertown or at most Pulaski. We take what we can get (for free!)...
-
UGH!!!! I'm going to be out of the state that weekend. Can you have one later in the summer, maybe in Rochester?
-
@Argo
I dunno, I hear odd things about the north country. (My coworker is originally from Malone).
:-D
-
One more thing:
Several of us would like to see a Pegasos show up. Pretty please? Anyone? :-)
PS. And if a certain Canadian making his own accelerators would like to drop by, well, we wouldn't mind that, either. :-D
PPS. No, we're not expecting him.

How about Crown Point next time. I know, this is tough. There is NYC and then there is "Upstate New York", right. Well, I hope this becomes a routine thing - but not too often. Eventually maybe a nice annual/semi-annual event that will attract a nice crowd and even if it ends up in Green Island, Postnkill, Oswego, or even Odgensburgh, N.Y. the menions will come.
We'll keep you all posted and hope to have pictures/report from the get together.

Crown Point (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=483)! I bet I'm the only one that like to drive through the mountians... Long Lake, Peru, Queensbury, I know that area pretty well due to my other hobby. (check out that url for Crown Point)
Ogdensburg, NY works for me! On the border with a bridge to Canada. Only an hour for those in Ottawa and about 2-2.5ish for Montreal.
I think semi-annual would be nice, Spring and Fall. Though we haven't even had the first gathering yet, so maybe we should talk about that afterward.
If anyone it coming, has suggestions, or something to show off/talk about, come join the list and introduce yourself. We should have alittle bit of everything, except Pegs(noone has one).
-
Haaahah.. I just came up with it off the top of my head really...I love that area.
There is quite a tight group in Ottawa, correct. It might make sense. However, maybe due to weather - if might be best to do the "Spring" meeting up there and not the fall. Then again we could just have 4 meetings a year hosted at 4 diff. parts of the state geographically eh... what ever it takes to fill the place. But as you say - lets see how the first one comes off.
-
I emailed the guy listed at the top. No reply.
Can I join without having to be Yahoo's B*tch? I really don't want to have to set up a yahoo account just to join one of the damnable "Yahoo Groups". That alone is a major reason why people don't bother with yahoogroups.
Although the recent revelation that Yahoo works hand in glove with the Bush admin spooks might be the new top reason for avoiding all things Yahoo.

-
Doh, Thank Editor...
That's what you get for editing news items late at night.
-
hehe...
np dudes..
Have fun !!
-
"Will there be girls there?"
-
There will be Amigas there, yes... :-D
-
I wish a couple of the exes weren't exes. They would have let us bodypaint boing patterns on their flesh. :-)
-
Assuming the Toronto-Rochester ferry is still running, this would be a great opportunity for Canadians too. Anybody marketed to them?
-
Well to those who may be wondering, the meeting was a great sucess! Though small in attendance, everyone had a blast. What I think we all hoped would happen is that we'd all want this to take place again - and we all ended late in the night all saying the same thing, "It will"
For those who couldn't make it - stay tuned and join our mailing list for meeting announcements in the future. If you are so inclined there are pics available on our yahoo.group site.
Thanks to everyone involved! 'Great meeting you all.
