Description

This is for those planning to attend the camping part of the 2010 WNY Gathering. Please don't sign up here if you WON'T be staying overnight with us at Four Mile Creek State Park; just sign up for the day event here: http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gEventId=1664. If you WILL be camping with us, sign up for BOTH. This is a great time to hang out talking/stamping around the campfire, plus it's cheaper food (we share our grill with anyone). We'll also be planting the boxes for the night event at this park, so this will be something you don't want to miss!

Aug 1, 2010: Checking on campers again!
It's officially August, which means mere weeks until the event! Once again, here's who I have on the list for sites.

219 3Bears
229 Frog Queen & Jiggs (?)
233 Riverkat & Flowerdaze
263 Wagner Wagon
265 Castle Clan
272 PinkCat & The Navigoose
273 live, laugh, bubble bath
278 AceoHearts
280 The Sprite & the Highlander, CathCainGwen, FishBelowTheIce
281 The Clintons

All of these are in the 200 loop. We have no idea what's still available, but if all else fails, pick any odd numbered site left between 239 to 265. The odd ones are on the inside, so we'd all still be nearby. If you don't see your trailname, be SURE to A) get a site and B) let us know which one it is! We have this list so that you can feel free to visit and stamp with folks all weekend long (and so that we know where you are in case of emergency or something). Also, the first night is potluck dinner. The Highlander and I bring a grill for burgers, but anything you want to throw on it is fine.

Anyway, hop on this so you can reserve your sites ASAP! The full weekend cost $59 (and yes, you have to reserve for 2 full days), so set that aside and we'll see you in a few weeks!

Aug 3, 2010: The Official Event Page!
The official event page is up, so you can look here for park directions and other general info: http://thesprite.orgfree.com/letterboxing/gathering7.htm

Be sure to check back as the date approaches for any changes (and, of course, the box clues, which will be posted Wednesday August 18th)!

Aug 4, 2010: ComedySportz Show Friday the 20th
Many of you know that I (the Sprite) do improv on the weekends and, if you come to a show, I give you the CSz With Me Traveler stamp. I took myself out of rotation for the weekend of the event (since we've got night boxing Saturday), however, I know some of you may not be in town again for quite a while.

If there's real interest in coming to a show that first night of camping, let me know. It starts at 8 pm and if I tell the team in advance, I should be able to play and get anyone that wants to get in for $8 a ticket, instead of $10. RSVP if you're interested and, if we have enough folks, I'll make another event sign up ASAP.

Aug 10, 2010: WNY Event PreShow now listed!
Rather than try to figure out who wanted to go to the ComedySportz show (and get the CSZ With Me stamp), I went ahead and made an AQ event for this. Check here and sign up if you're interested. Remember, this will be the Friday night before the event, so if you're camping, you might as well join us...it's where the rest of us will be! ;-)
