DiscussNY meetup

[THERESA]

I would like to have our meet up in October. I would like it to be family oriented so the kids can get together too. (we can have an adult one some other time) I would like to know what ideas people have. We could do an easy geocache (http://www.discussny.com/showthread.php?t=1875) or maybe even hide one that is New York themed. I am yet to hide one. Who would like to come and please suggest any ideas you have. It could even just be a picnic at Black Creek Park. (http://www.discussny.com/showthread.php?t=3793&highlight=black+creek+park)

[THERESA]

I am still brainstorming here. I am thinking about making this a meet up/ book signing for my buddy Thomas Phillips' new book (http://www.discussny.com/showthread.php?t=4477). I bought a bunch of his other books one year and went to a book signing and gave them out as Christmas presents. It's pretty cool to get a book that the author signed personally addressed to that person as a gift. No pressure to buy just an idea. I ran the idea by him and am still waiting for an answer. If anyone would be interested in a signed book even if they aren't going to the meet up, you can let me know and I am sure I can get one for you. Send me a pm (http://www.discussny.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=9)or post here if interested.

Webster Park has camping for the over nighters, a playground for kids, large picnic area, and Lake Ontario. :D

[THERESA]

Good idea Ray, thanks. It is nice there.

[THERESA]

P.S. You only need to vote if you are in the area. I was kinda figuring out of staters wouldnt be here.

[Rebecky]

Fair Haven? (http://www.reserveamerica.com/campgroundDetails.do?subTabIndex=0&contractCode=ny&parkCode=fair)

[carupdike]

Hamlin Beach State Park?? I've been there alot, and it is always such a good time..they have alot of Pavilions, picnic areas, swimming and I know my family has always had a good time there??

[esnagel]

I would, but every weekend in October is already booked :(

[THERESA]

Keep kicking around ideas, then we can all try to vote where and when would be best for the most people.

[carupdike]

MMM.. so, Webster & Hamlin have been brought up...Im trying to think of others...there's also like Charlotte Beach area..they not only have the swimming & playground for the kids, but there are lots of bars/restaurants down there,Abbott's Ice Cream and htat..let me think of more..

[Kaos]

^someone say ice cream??? LOL I am really bad at planning out for anything these days. Not sure if we can think about swimming in October around here though. Just my pointless 2 cents

[THERESA]

Geez Eric. I remember in the spring you said your whole summer was slammed too. Don't you get sick of a jam packed schedule? That would drive me insane.

[Rebecky]

Are we looking at having it in the Rochester area because it's central to all members?

[THERESA]

Yes. It may not have a huge turn out because a lot of our members are scattered and even in other states but for the ones that do make it, we will have a good time. (lots of new thread material, I'm sure! :D )

[Rebecky]

(lots of new thread material, I'm sure! :D )
hmmmmmm....pure genius, or just evil......not sure which yet...........:innocent:

[carupdike]

Ice cream...sounds great..yeah, you're right about the swimming, wasn't thinking of that!:banghead::oops:

[esnagel]

It keeps me out of trouble.

My kids would still swim. :)

[THERESA]

Keep the ideas coming!!

[Thomas Phillips]

I like the Charlotte Beach idea. It's free. The pavallions should be open -- since we are talking about October (even thought many of you have mentioned the option of "swimming," lol! Unless this is the polar bear swim club as well :-)

But hey, I'm new. What do I know?

Oh wow, Charlotte Beach! Do I miss that place! So many memories, and boy did we get into trouble down there. :the_finger: Theresa, did you ever go down there with me? I can't remember.. If I can make it out to NY, I vote for HERE! :D But when I move back, that will be mine and Adrianna's second home...

[THERESA]

Ummm we lived down there. Wow I thought I was the one getting alzheimers between the two of us. Maybe it is you. :p

[fyrchck]

[THERESA]

I will be posting the date later tonight after checking my calendar. Stay tuned.

[THERESA]

The DiscussNY meet up will most likely be October 18th. Please let me know if you will be able to come. You can post it here or send me a private message. If you have any ideas, post them here. The location etc is not set for sure yet. :thanks:

[popowich]

I'm in ! :rofl:

[Rebecky]

Yes! That's the one weekend in October that I didn't have plans for yet! LOL....I was gettin' nervous!

[THERESA]

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like we might get a good turn out after all!!! :yay:

[fyrchck]

I will try to make, but no promises... It's all about money.
Kristin

[THERESA]

Tell Mommy and Daddy. :)

[Kaos]

Wow! This may be the biggest time I've ever heard of for forum members to actually meet in real life! Pretty cool...takes away my favorite anonymity though :D

[popowich]

Is that a yes vote from you? ;)

-Raymond

[THERESA]

I'm counting it as a yes!

[Rebecky]

what's the scoop on a location?
saw in another thread that it's been hard to find something that doesn't cost beaucoup $$. Are you looking for a shelter? Is there anything in your town that would be cheaper since you are a resident? I think I can rent a shelter in Macedon for no charge for being a resident in the Pal-Mac area. Do you have anything similar available?

Just a shelter in case of rain, and a playground for kids is all that's needed I think. Any other thoughts?

If there is a cost for the shelter, I would love to put money towards those costs. I'm also assuming it's a bring your own plates/utensils/meat and beverages...and a dish to pass?

[THERESA]

We are in the middle of it and should have the location and more details announced tonight! Thanks becks!

[THERESA]

It is not official because the person that takes care of the reservations is out of the office until Thursday but most likely it is going to be a cabin at Webster Park (http://www.monroecounty.gov/parks-webster.php) I guess we won't have the official answer until then.

[THERESA]

As most of you know, my friend Thomas phillips wrote the book The Molech Prophecy (http://www.discussny.com/showthread.php?t=4477) If anyone is interested in buying a copy and having it signed at the meet up, please send me a private message (http://www.discussny.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=9). I will make sure there are enough there for anyone that wants a copy. One year he was doing a book signing and I bought about 5 books and had him address them to the people I bought them for. They were a huge hit. Christmas will be here before you know it! :(

Sorry about the delay on the location. If the cabin is available it will definitely be in Webster. Like I said before, I will know Thursday for sure.:thanks:

[THERESA]

Remember I need a head count as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have a definite yes or no answer as soon as you can and how many people you will be bringing.

I will be ordering DNY bumperstickers for everyone that attends and anyone else that requests one, I will mail it to you. Send me a private message.

I will not be able to attend. Have a great time!

[Rebecky]

awwwww
:(

[THERESA]

Hopefully the location will be posted later today.

[THERESA]

It's official! There is a cabin reserved in Webster Park (http://www.monroecounty.gov/parks-webster.php)!! :yay:

Details: :yippee:
Cabin reserved for 10/18. 1 day, 1 night. Can get there at 11am, have to be out by 11am Sunday.It's about 1/4 mile to the camping ring and playground, but the cabin has a big field next to it where kids can run around and make all the noise they want without disturbing other campers. Soccer balls, bad mitten, bocce ball, horseshoes, whatever people can bring would be great, board and card games would be fun to play inside. It has running water in the cabin. Can not sleep overnight in the cabin, have to use tents outside the cabin for anyone spending the night. Waiting for a c/b to find out if there is anything to cook on inside the cabin. :rockernana: :siterock:

wooohoo!

I do not believe there is anything to cook on. The family rented one of these for thanksgiving one year. I brought apple pies I had made the weekend before and froze. I intended to let them thaw in the oven I was told (by a family member) was there. There was not an oven, only a woodburning stove. I put them up near that, but it wasn't burning anything...lol. My pies never did thaw in time....

I think we have a volleyball net system, if Ed remembered to take it out of the rafters of the garage when we moved! :eek2:

[popowich]

There is a firepit, but it sounds like it would be best to also bring a grill. There are a couple picnic tables outside, and a few more inside the cabin and some serving tables too. We are going to be at the Seneca Lodge which they said is the biggest cabin. :D

[THERESA]

Gettin lots of maybes come on people! This is gonna be a good time!

[BfromCN]

Awaiting for the photos of your meetup.:rockernana:

[Big Dan]

You probably should post this on Craig's list under 'events'.. Might attract some more folks here. :)

[diane7]

Awaiting for the photos of your meetup.:rockernana:

Yess please
:D

[THERESA]

I have a list started. There are about 30 on it that are supposed to be coming as of right now. Please send me a private message as soon as you know for sure if you are coming or not. If you reply and your answer changes, please let me know that also. :thanks:

[Sherri]

I was talking to my mom about this and how I really want to go, but I know I can't because it's the day of our second to last competition, and I had an idea. We could get everyone to come to the competition...it would be fun and afterward my mom could just take me to Webster Park so I could still go. No one would probably want to watch a marching band competition but it's a thought!

[THERESA]

Hmmmm was I suppose to know this ???? Oh well..........

I guess not. Only people that know how to read woulda known. :p

That thing is almost an all day event. It would take too much time away from the meet up. We have to be there the whole time to take care of everything.
I already told your mom to bring you after the competition and we will save a plate for you. We are having smores later on in the evening. You should be able to make it for that.

[RJD]

Officially list me as a maybe...

There is NOTHING sexier than an indecisive man!!! :laughing6:

[Rebecky]

acck! Eddie is taking tennis lessons on Tues & Thursdays. The last lesson was supposed to be next Thursday, but it conflicted with the Open House. They are moving the last lesson to a Saturday afternoon in October and are making it into a big party. No word yet on which Saturday it is......crossing everything I have to cross that it isn't the 18th!

[THERESA]

I will SO kick their asses! I reserved that day on your books before they did!!!

[RJD]

October 18th is UB's homecoming against Army. I will be tailgating in the RV parking lot with my fraternity alumni.


Boohoo, I will miss the gathering...

[THERESA]

Darn you!!!

[Raven]

I don't have enough gas to drive that far. :p

Darn you!!!

[popowich]

I don't have enough gas

How long would it take you to down 160,000 pills?

Estimated travel time: 222 hours.

Better start now (http://dailystarfishes.blogspot.com/2006/05/flatulence-propulsion-changes-face-of.html)! :laughing6:

[THERESA]
