Hi Avishai,
There are a number of AFOL's in and around NYC, but gatherings are few and far
between, unfortunately. A few of us met a couple of times over the past few
years or so as NYCLUG but it never got off the ground or amounted to more than a
couple of fun meetings.
If you are interested in arranging something send me a private email and maybe
we can get a group together for a meet and greet and see what comes of it.
Best,
Jonathan

You might try GardenSLUG in New
Jersey. They are probably the closest to you.
NELUG is a fun group, but were a bit north of you. :)

Greetings-
Im newish to this AFOL business, and have never been part of a LUG. I would
love to meet with the other talented builders I know are in and around the
area.
Given the lack of recent posting within this region, I assume there is not
much going on in the community sense around the area at the moment.
Am I wrong in this regard, and if Im not, can we make it so Im wrong?

Greetings-
I'm newish to this AFOL business, and have never been part of a LUG. I would
love to meet with the other talented builders I know are in and around the area.
Given the lack of recent posting within this region, I assume there is not much
going on in the community sense around the area at the moment.
Am I wrong in this regard, and if I'm not, can we make it so I'm wrong?

Ed,
On a similar note, if you ever get requests for any upstate New York events that
might need manpower, let me know. Though I'm a NELUGer (NELUGite?), I'm
probably as close to New York as I am to most of the NELUG events (I'm in
southwestern Vermont). I actually drive about 3 hours to most of our events, so
a 3 to 4 hour drive isn't out of the question for me.
My daughter and I actually visited the LUCNY layout at a show in Syracuse (I
think) a couple of years back. I was busy keeping an eye on her so I didn't get
a chance to introduce myself.
