I found some more people interested in another round of Letterboxing New York t-shirts, so I thought I'd check once more to see who else is interested. The front has the image you see at the WNY event page (http://www.atlasquest.com/events/event.html?gEventId=35) and the back has the LBNY logo (same as this minus the W for Western http://www.atlasquest.com/gallery/viewphoto.html?gPhotoId=555&gReturnUrl=%2Fgallery%2Fviewalbum.html%3FgAlbumId%3D12)
So, even if you've already told me you wanted a shirt, write me again and tell me what size you'd like (adult sizes only, but the adult small is perfect for those elementary sized boxers!). They should only cost $11 (plus the cost of shipping to you in the flat rate priority envelopes).

And a NEARLY damp time was had by all...!
Well, the 4th Annual WNY Gathering is over and only NOW am I soaking wet! The promised rain only hit when we were all packing up to leave this morning, so we avoided a weekend full of squishy shoes and damp stamps.
The day event went as laid-backedly (new word!) as they always do upstate...lots of folks hanging out stamping and eating and exchanging without the intensity you might find elsewhere. Frankly, it's like a family reunion, even with our new folks...and the list of first time gatherers was enormous! I got to meet tons of folks I had only chatted with online for the first time and was really glad to mix it up with them.
Our farthest guests came from CT, (Bluebird & Music Woman), PA (Cyclonic), Canada (just can't keep the Jiggs Clan away!) :-) and new friends from Ohio (Pioneer Spirit and Lady Dove). Unfortunately, the Highlander never made it to the event (had a long day of certification testing that he never woke up from Saturday night), but he was there in Sprite...er, spirit! :-)
The night boxing seemed to go pretty well, too. I didn't have as many boxes as I would have liked, but the idea of night boxing was enough for all of us to be excited about. The camping out was a blast in and of itself...can't believe how much fun we had just hanging around talking! Without the Highlander around, I was glad to have so many folks around to hang out with (plus I was THRILLED to find a cadre a letterboxing GAMERS to play some late night D & D on Saturday...power to the geek!).
Anyway, the next event is already posted, so we hope to continue the trend of one big happy family next summer...thanks to everyone for making this event a wonderful experience!
