Thread: Any Western NYers? Buffalo? Rochester?

I am east of Rochester about 15 or 20 miles and a mile or less south of route 104, so I am closer to Rochester.

Thanks Joe, for summoning me to this thread.
I'm only 2-3 hours away, so I'll most certainly join you if I can find the time. I'm subscribing to this thread so that I can keep updated.

I verified everything with my lady friend Karen and it looks like Sunday Nov 9th is going to be the day. I would say around 11am until whenever. Wives and significant others are welcome. I would just ask that everyone let me know if you are coming and how many (per Karen's orders) so she can plan appropriately.

PM me for directions please.

Look forward to seeing everyone.

Joe

Count me in. I suppose you can fill me in on the details tonight.

Wish I could make it....

Im not free until after the new year but after seeing all the pics from the recent meets around the country it looks to be a great time.

Hopefully you guys will also have a great meet with lots of learning and sharing etc. so you will do it again

I'll be there! What should be brought? Razors. stones?

Bring what ever you like, things you would like to share, show or have questions about. Hones would be nice to try if you have some I/we don't have, straight to see and maybe try, strops... and so on. If WIlliamson is the most central to everyone let me know. If there will be more than several I can reserve a building from one of the groups I belong to. If you have a preference to drinks you should bring your own bottle(s). If someone needs to spend the night I will reccomend a place to stay, just let me know. If Williamson is not the best place to meet that's fine with me also. Karen posted a date best for us and it's getting close so let's all chime in to finalize date and location. Hope to see all of you soon!

Williamson would be fine for me, I don't mind a bit of a drive. Shall we take inventory of where everyone is?

I'm in Rochester.
Cassady is in Buffalo (right?)
Joe is in Williamson
Gugi is around abouts Ithica (I think that's what Joe said)
Mike is in NJ, and might be able to come (Could you come on a Sat?)

Anyone else planning on coming? If not, Rochester or Williamson seem equally central. I would be happy to host at my apartment (what do you think, Joe, would we all fit?), and Joe has also voulenteered to host.

Maybe we should just call it Williamson so we can set up a medium sized venue and not have to worry about size issues.

I just looked an the NC meet pics. If people are comfortable meeting/looking at gear in a restaurant setting, The Old Toad in Rochester has a separate room that can easily accommodate those who have expressed interest thus far. I'm pretty sure the room can be reserved. You can see it in pictures 5-7 here http://www.theoldtoad.com/gallery_toad.html

Holli, the restaurant setting would be good if we had more people coming. At this point with only 3-4 people coming I thing my house will do fine. Karen is planning on making some chii and homemade bread unless there are some people who don't like chili. Of course if the weather is nice I might do something on the grill.


If there are any special likes/dislikes or allergies let me know so we can work with or around them as the case may be.

Joe

Your place sounds good to me. I'll see if I can find a growler of that black lagar it was telling you about.
