Any Western NYers? Buffalo? Rochester?

[cassady]

Hey all you Western NYers! Buffalonians, Rochesterites, everyone inbetween and you folks across just across the border!

Seems like everyone else has a regional group, and it'd be nice to gather on a chilly winter day in someone's workshop for the warmth of fellowship, swap stories, show off our gear, and maybe pick up some honing or restoration tips...

Whaddya say?

I'm in if we can do it on a Saturday when I don't have the kids, every other weekend like 10/11, 10/28 and so on.

I'm here representing Rochester. I'd absoloutly be up for a Western NY gathering. Maybe we could even coax some of the closer Canadians into the country.

Joe and I were planning on getting together regardless, but it would be great to get more members involded.

Any time Friday afternoon through early Sunday evening works. If we meet in Rochester, there's a great dive bar that I frequent that might make a good venue (or at least somewhere to hang out if/when we put the razors away).

If there are enough people interested my lady friend Karen said she would help organize this. She has had some luck in the past putting together some small/medium gatherings. If we want to do any str8 show and tell then we would need to do it someplace where that would be allowed. I guess we would have to do this before Thanksgiving or after New Year. Possibly someplace along the Thruway route so it would be convenient access for everyone.

I'm in northern New Jersey, but could easily be coaxed into making the trip if it were on a Sunday. If it all works out, maybe I can represent N.J.

[Joed]

MIke I'll keep you in mind if this comes together. If we don't have more than a 1/2 dozen people interested, I may just have this at my house. I don't have a shop, but we can at least share experiences.

Cool, this looks like it might come together, even if just a bunch of guys with their razors and such.

I'm happy to host if Buffalo is most central (although it seems like Rochester may be more so), although I have an apartment (and no cool workshop to show off!)

Cassady, I just have the island in my kitchen to work on when Karen isn't baking. If this is just going to be an informal thing we can do it the weekend of October 25/26 or Nov 8/9 whatever works best for everyone here.

[holli4pirating]

Either of those weekends is good here (afaik). Send me a date and count me in!

[cassady]

JoeD, are you in (or closer to) Buffalo or Rochester?
