Upstate NY: Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Finger Lakes Region...

Franklyn · 07-24-2012, 02:22 PM

I'm just back in Rochacha after 10 years in Japan... Those people that know me on this board (or moreso, those that know me OFF this board - lol) know that I'm the original Mr. drink, drink, party, party... annnnnd drink some more

Sooooooo... I searched for events in Rochacha, and I couldn't find much (Found a post for events in Schenectady - relatively close - but that seems to be it...)

Most of the other threads I found haven't been updated in 2 years... I find myself wondering (i) who (if anyone) is still up this way and (ii) do you people get together at all?

So I guess there are two parts to this thread...

Part 1: A shoutout to everyone in what I'm going to call the 'upstate area' - this means anyone that, if there were a casual event somewhere between Niagra Falls/Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and say Ithaca or somewhere down south, MIGHT be in range... I'd even include people in some parts of Ontario, CA or Northern PA (please don't take offense at being lumped in with Upstate NY - lol)

Part 2: A suggestion... Why don't we get together and drink? I am NOT one for renting a location and having a formal event... However, I AM pretty good at gathering 5 or 10 of the 'willing and able' and doing a dinner party / drink / bar-hop kind of thing

Can't wait to see who's around!

I'm from Buffalo and go to school in Rochester, but I'm actually in Germany until December. D'oh!

If something's going on after I'm back I'd be more than interested, though obviously I'm a bit far at the moment

Thanks for the response! Right now I'm looking more for the immediate this week? This month? (minimum planning - very casual) kind of event, but I'll be here until next summer at least - Drop me a line when you're back from Germany!

BTW - Nice sword

I figured as much. Will do on keeping in contact though!

Regarding the sword: thanks! Sadly, the sword isn't mine; I borrowed it from a friend for that particular picture. Still, it's pretty badass =]

Just wanted to say hello...from Penfield. I am not at your end of the age spectrum..I graduated high school before you were born. But good to know someone else who understands "Rahchacha-speak" I moved here "temporarily" almost 30 years ago.
I am well past my party days, but hope you still find folks to party with...I can just say been there, done that..and had a great time doing it.

Now we're talking local! lol (I'm in Fairport right now)

Sooooo... What brought you here 'temporarily' and what made you stay in good old Rochacha?

Syracuse is about 45 minutes or so west of me. Buffalo, Rochester and Niagara Falls are further away. I have a brother who lives near Buffalo so gathering for an event is doable as I can just hop on the NYS Thruway but I have to get motivated to trek a couple hours or so for drinks and then head home.

Dennis - Thanks for the response!

Like I said, we could get together whereever... I have no problems with Syracuse (aside from not knowing any good bars / restaurants)

Hmmm, or "let there be mixed drinks!"

Just figured I'd throw my two cents in and say I'm moving to Ithaca in a few months and would be open to any future events.
