I can not make 15 July or 12 August.  Which technically leaves open 8 July
(probably too soon to put together), 22 July, 29 July, 5 August (which is bad
for me, but I could do it with some advanced planning), 19 August, 26 August,
or sometime in the Fall.  I would prefer ASAP, just to have gotten something
done.

  Personally the only
weekends that I could make it are July 29-30, August 19-20, or later.

Why don't all of you interested, write to me at BOTH clweeks@eclipse.net and
christopher.weeks@bms.com with the dates you can and can't make it and I'll put
a list of availabilities together.  I think we have to assume that not everyone
will be able to make it, so we'll have to shoot for maximum numbers in the near
term rather than holding out for 100% participation in the long term.

Most
weekday evenings other than from July 13-25 are also good for me.

Me too, but it sounds like we have interest from 2 hours away in several
directions.

If someone
is familier with one of the online calendar/planner websites and could set up • a
calendar where all interested could post their available dates, it would be a
lot easier to pick a date when the most people could attend, rather than

That would be cool, but I don't know anything about such things.  And no one
has taken up the challenge, so I'll just try to summarize what I get.

Potential participants:

Christopher Weeks (me)
Lindsay Braun (for 1.25 months, anyway)
Erik Olson
Andy Lynch
Bryan Kinkel
Jennifer Maher (and SO)
Laurajean Murphy
Matthew Karius
Bianca Nebab
Ed Jones
Jason Mantor

Names that have been proposed and at least once seconded:

   NJLUG

   TriLUG for the tri-state area (NY, NJ, PA, I'd say)

   UMALUG for upper mid-Atlantic LUG

   DVLUG - Delaware Valley LUG

Names that I've thought of since last posting (I don't like all of these, but I
thought they might stimulate other thoughts):

   DeVILUG (Delaware Valley Internet(?) LUG)

   TriSLUG (Tri-State LUG, just because I like SLUG)

   GSLUG (Garden State LUG, mostly again for the SLUG)

   LEGOMA (LEGO Enthusiast Group Of the MidAtlantic)

   *LEG (LEGO Enthusiast Group, maybe HIND LEG, or FORE LEG, or BUM LEG?)

I'm going to work up some maps and such for finding my place, so once we get a
date nailed down, we can roll along.

Chris

(...) I've been lurking on this thread for a bit...I'm in Pittburgh, PA, so most likely I would not be able to attend any sort of Lego event in the near future, but was wondering if any of you are out my direction somewhat (like, say, central PA)?

(...) Why not simply "GardenSLUG"? ;) (...) I'm partial to UMALUG, myself. Somehow "TriLUG" brings to mind "Revenge of the Nerds." best Lindsay (22 July is my only workable date.) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nj, lugnet.loc.us.ny, lugnet.loc.us.pa)
  Re: Is there interest in a new LUG?
 
Hi, 22 July is good for me. I'm flexible until Sep 7 (two weekends in SF, CA.) Here's my acronym contribution for tonight: LUMAS (Lego Users, Mid Atlantic States) (plus, it sounds classical) LBOES (Lego Builders of Eastern States) MACTEC (...)

  Re: Is there interest in a new LUG?
 
I keep replying to my own posts... (...) The resounding responses (all three ;-) suggest that 22 July is a good date. Who can make it for something in Central New Jersey on Saturday, 22 July 2000 at around 1500 EST? I think this should be an RSVP (...)
