Just when I thought I could stop looking for events to go to until the snow thawed, we're back in action! There's actually going to be a WINTER event coming up soon, long before the other 3 events for next year. Lock Wench is running Desperately Seeking Sun in Syracuse, which will not only include boxing and carving lessons, but SLEDDING! SERIOUSLY! Yay New York in the wintertime!
The other events really aren't that far away, since next year is really little more than a month from now, so let me make mention of them all. First will be Rocks, Docks and Locks in Kingston, Ontario (which for most Upstate New Yorkers is only about 3 or 4 hours drive). It'll be on Memorial Day weekend in 2006. It's being put on by Norasta and Jiggs, who're frequent border crossers for our US events in New York, so we can't wait to visit them on their home turf. The best part is the meet is being held on a SHIP! It's called the Alexander Henry and is now a bed and breakfast for visitors. We can't wait to check this one out!
Next on the list will be the 3rd Annual Finger Lakes Gathering in Ithaca, New York on June 10, 2006. Turtle McQ has done these in the past and they've been great gatherings. Last year, we even had boxing royalty in the house...Green Tortuga and Amanda From Seattle! Totally cool meeting famous people that are just nice folks after all!
The last one is our personal project, the 4th Annual Western New York Gathering on August 25-27. In honor of poor Dagonell the Pirate (who's driven all over creation for these events up from somewhere deep in Chatauqua region), we've opted to take this event closer to his home turf this year. The plan is to do a 2 day camping trip (Friday night to Sunday morning) at Allegheny State Park for those interested in staying ovenight, which would still be a day event on Saturday for those who just want to come and go. Since we have to wait and actually see what camping and boxing is like down in Alleghany, we have no real details as yet and probably won't until summer starts.
Either way, there's a TON going on next year and we are SO there already! :-)
