Pride Party in Greensboro & Upstate NY Trip!

[boog]

Would anyone care to go celebrate Pride with me? I'm going mostly for Jujubee and for a CLOSE FRIEND of mine (bffs since high school!) who'll also be performing that night.

Let's go on a date and celebrate!

Oh, and who lives in upstate NY? I already have one of you penned in for a visit! I don't think there are many more upstate or CNYers around, but if you live in the city and would like to meet halfway for lunch or something, I'm down!

Please note, two insanely intelligent and silly children will be in tow.

This will be in the fall months -- I have to get my class schedule sorted and then I'll have more specific times for New York! Hopefully no later than October though. I have to see stuff before the blizzards hit and shit freezes until next May, hah.

Yay. I'm so excited!

Mmmm... what part of NY are you calling upstate?  You mean the Hudson River Valley Upstate (Albany)?  Or the Central NY Upstate (Binghamton/Ithaca)?  Or western NY (Buffalo/Rochester)?

I don't go much west of Syracuse! But I do go east enough to hit Albany. Basically, anything from Syracuse up to Watertown, easy to Albany. I'd travel to Ithaca, though, for some hiking and grub. Ithaca is gorges. Hahahaha.

When I say CNY, I generally mean Syracuse though. Upstate means so many different things to different people! But I use it anyway because... Well, it's what I grew up saying.

We will probably be hanging around Oswego mostly this time around. Mm. Rudy's, before it closes for the season. Yum. Super mobile, though. I'll drive to hang and eat.

I went to NY once. Some place called... Rock City or Rock... something. It was near a racetrack/casino, because my girlfriend was thinking on taking her internship at some really big special needs facility there.

I was not impressed.

Turning Stone?

[Riev]

Rock Hill.

Just N-NW of Middletown.

I was thinking of the Monticello raceway. Between there, and Rock Hill, is some big facility for Developmental Disabilities or something and I'm glad we didn't stay there.

There is NOTHING out there.

Yeah. That's not the fun part of NY!

[Riev]

Yeah. That's not the fun part of NY!

Middletown had a movie theater! It was only an hour away!

If you're going to be UPSTATE, you may as well just go to Vermont. And if you're in Vermont, I'm ONLY like another 2 hours away :3

Don't tempt me. I kinda wanna go see Bernie.
