Title: Calling all LBS's- Let's Get Together!!
Post by: crazyforhim on September 30, 2011, 11:20:23 AM
Hi All,

Have been already in contact with some LBS's and we are trying to get together.

Believer and I are in Ontario and close to the border and are willing to travel.

NY seems to be the place where alot of you are from (I may be wrong....lol!!)

Who is up for a meet and greet and lots of laughing and food/drink

Let's get some ideas and see what we come up with...

Could we at least narrow down the location to NY?

And how about dates...I am good for next weekend but don't know what everyone's schedule is like.
H is taking the kids over to his place with OW so I will need some support that weekend...argh!!

I can't make it next weekend. But count me in for any other weekend after that. How about a friday night in Buffalo. Anyone then willing to drive 1/2 way to albany area. If we did that would Old Pilot and Mama Bear join us on Saturday? Would that work for our friends from canada?  Just a thought.

I am originally from the Albany area.   So I may be able to make it there sometime to meet anyone else that is able to go. ;D
My sister lives right near the airport and my family lives 40 minutes from Albany.

Hi everyone,

The 22/23 doesn't work for me as I am in a course. However if it works for everyone else by all means go ahead and I can watch for the next one after that!

I'm in this strange, out of the way place called Kentucky but would love a get-together.  Would love to travel to Europe or Australia but that's not in the cards for me.  Any plans for a Midwest get-together?

Yeah, me too Thundarr.  I'm in this strange out of the way place called Arkansas, lol.  How come there aren't many southerners with MLC?  Guess I am one of the LUCKY ones, lol.  Or have they just not found the board yet?

Buffalo is too far for me, but how about a Midwest meet-up in Chicago??  Purple Stain and I are here and Thundarr and Tiny and InLimbo123 are not too far away.  Those of you on the coasts are welcome, too.

Anyone from Missouri?  I live about 100 miles west of St. Louis.  I'm in STL abt every weekend since that is where I lived my whole life.  D and I moved to our farm last Nov. when we lost the house.  Would love a meet n greet.   


I know I haven't posted anything in a very long time but, I still read everything and anything I can to help me through this.
