Hello potential New LUG members... :-) Ok. It seems that there are several people who have replied to this thread that they would be interested in a local LUG. So. What is the next step? Do we need to find a place where we can meet? Are there other (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nj, lugnet.loc.us.pa.phi, lugnet.loc.us.pa.phi.all, lugnet.loc.us.ny.ny)

I'd drive an hour or more into NJ for a casual meeting, and as far as necessary for a fest. (I just couldn't go last weekend, I had to go to Albany.) NELUG let me "join" alright, though I haven't driven 4 hours from NYC to Boston for a meeting yet. (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nj, lugnet.loc.us.pa, lugnet.loc.us.ny)

YES. I am interested. I was at BrickFest with my NLS, Jackie. I live in Forked River, which is just south of Toms River, NJ.
