    Shall We?... —John Rudy
   Dear All, My thoughts have been garbled these past few days, bear with me. Having spent the last few days in thought, I think we should plunge forward. Maybe I've been forced to examine my own mortality, maybe I want to make up for lost effort, I'm (...)

    (...) Ok, I am not officially a New York state resident, but I will be going to college there in the fall, and I for one would love to be a member of an ACTIVE LUG. I am in the GMLUG, and they dont do much. So I would like to throw my support into (...)

        Re: Shall We?... —Dave Amos
   Hey, great! Where are you from? Also, what should we be called if we were to form? CNYLUG (Central New York Lego Users Group) or LUCNY (Lego Users of Central New York)? Any other suggestions? Comments? -Dave (URL) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.us.ny.syr, lugnet.loc.us.ny.bin, lugnet.loc.us.ny.roc, lugnet.loc.us.ny.uti)
   
        Re: Shall We?... —Ed McGlynn
     Dave - I like the LUCNY acronym! It makes the name stand out from other LUGs. By the way, I'm from Canandaigua, and I believe Wayne's in Oswego (go Lakers!).

        Re: Shall We?... —Wayne Sardullo
     Actually I moved about 6 months ago closer to Syracuse, I now live in liverpool which is 2-3 miles from Syracuse.

        Re: Shall We?... —Dave Amos
     All- Yeah, I think we should go with LUCNY too. It has a cool look to it. It would be great if you could make us a logo, it just seems to solidify our creation. :) Does anyone know how many AFOLS are actually in the area? I think that if we started (...)
