OK, it seems like there is enough interest to carry on with this so let's. Are
we all thinking a weekend day? Is Saturday better than Sunday? Should it be
for adults only? How long a meeting? What times?

What age kids? I have son who is almost six. If there are a few folks with
kids of compatible ages, we could do a double LEGO based get-together (one for
kids and one for adults), but again, this might better be done at a later
meeting.

I got a couple email responses, but they're at home and I can't see (or
remember) them right now. So who want's to meet? I see that we have interest
from:
Christopher Weeks (me)
Lindsay Braun (for 1.5 months, anyway)
Erik Olson
Andy Lynch
Bryan Kinkel
Jennifer Maher (and SO)
Laurajean Murphy
Matthew Karius
and I don't recall if the emails were from those listed above, or from others
who haven't chimed in. Consider this an open invitation to anyone else out
there from whom we haven't heard.
This isn't the most important matter, but:
> What would it be called? NJLUG would be OK,
After suggesting that, I also thought of MetroLUG because I think of NJ (though
I know it's not really like this) as being divided between the metro NYC and
metro Philly areas, with just a touch of (pretend) rural areas around the
fringe.
Also suggested have been:
TriLUG for the tri-state area (NY, NJ, PA, I'd say)
UMALUG for upper mid-Atlantic LUG
DVLUG - Delaware Valley LUG
MPHLUG - Metro Philadelphia LUG
GPHLUG - Greater Philadelphia LUG
I would personally prefer to not use the last two because it limits the feel of
the name. NYC people might not feel as free to participate and I'd like to
appeal to as broad an audience as possible. Otherwise, I think they are all
acceptable names. I'd still like to give some thought to names that are not
dependent on the LUG acronym.
Anything else to consider?

| (...) Seems to me the obvious would Metroliner - the Amtrak train connecting NYC to Washington DC with stops in Jersey, Phiily, Delaware, Multibore, etc. Is this group for trains only or can anyone attend? (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nj)
