I know there's a bunch of us, and if arizona can get it's own thread...

Where we at? I'm home in Rochester for the summer, but I'll be by Albany once the school year starts up again. Anyone feel like having a little get together?

I've never had the pleasure of meeting any of my fellow fazers, so I figured why not ask. 

you 21 or older zir? 

Me, baz, snc, engineer, pike, avius, tunnel rat, evilgoods, and a few others all live in or around albany. :) 

Aaaahhh, yes. Albany. A town so boring pigeons take their own lives.

I don't blame them. I don't really like it here and don't plan on staying forever, but my job is keeping me here for the moment. :)

Sucks ass.

Tell me about it.

Wife: "My mom found us a bedroom set!"
Me: "Where?"
Wife: "Huck Finn's Wa ..."
Me: "No." 

can i be on that list too?

Of Albany fazers? Of course you can, though I'm not sure you actually exist. ;) 

no no - the "i don't like it here and don't plan on staying forever" list 

We should get a track day going. 

you 21 or older zir?

yea. i be 22 the end of june.
my only problem is i'll be stuck on campus at RPI. so, i'd have to find a creative way to get to the bars to met everyone.

ah, Troy. The only city that can actually make Albany look pleasant. 

troy does suck balls

although the South End Tavern is cool

such a dive it's beautiful 

the knotty pine has some awesome food too.
it's all of three blocks from campus. 

ah, Troy. The only city that can actually make Albany look pleasant.

even Troy-built left Troy 

yea, if that says anything about the town.

the unofficial motto at RPI is come for the college, but stay the fuck outta the town.
that, and Mr. RPI is a gigantic black man that rapes you with a sandpaper condom. 

Zir... sneak away for a weekend in July and come meet the New England fazers at PIHBoston 

I want to. I'd have to drive though, cause I don't have anywhere near the money to fly out.
The problem then becomes if my car would even make it to Boston.
not to mention the fact my tuition went up 6 grand for this coming year.

I very well might just take a train out if I can figure all this shit out. I just hope Amtrak doesn't get all fucked up like they usually do... 

I don't really like it here and don't plan on staying forever

Funny I hear so many people saying that, myself included. 

I heard my name, wha? Oh yeah, I'm a local unfortunately.

Zir, I went to school in Rochester. Whereabouts are you? 

We should get a track day going.

yeah... I' pissed I couldn't make it last year. breakfast on the rail and days of drinking and beting on the ponies 

Whereabouts are you?

In Gates, the west side of the city.
I work at the University of Rochester though. 

U of R, I used to sk8 there all the time. Ahh Rocha-cha, how I miss it. Especially Nick Tahoe's! 

tahous!

good stuff man. greasy shit, but so good. 

tahous!

now youre talkin my language 

i usually just go to the tahous on lyell ave. what about you whaley? 

My grandma was telling me about this floating hot-dog stand in the Irondequiot Bay.
If there's one thing I miss, it's the white/red hots.
You can't get them anywhere else in the world. It's prety sad that they're such a delicacy to me that I have my relatives ship them out to me regularly.

tahous on lyell ave.

hell yeah. I heard there was another one (in Gates/Chili or somewhere) but thats actually the only one I've been to. 

People who use the internets scare me. 

that lyell one is as close to gates as it gets. there's another 3 tahous areound rochester though. henrietta, irondequoit, and one more if my memory serves me right. 

I lived in Irondequiot though, right across the street from the House of Guitars, so it was Irondequiot Hots that I went to most often.
Then my family moved up off of Beach Ave. in Charlotte for a year before I moved out of state.
And I mostly spent the summers west, over in Brockport with my cousins.
Currently, most of my family lives in Webster.

otherwise, get a head net. 

I defintely need to make it up to the track again.

Don't know if i'm going to have time though. 

Zir, some of the very best fazers live in Albany. :) 

i used to live in Horseheads NY.

Horseheads was made historic in the annals of the revolution on account of its being the spot where General John Sullivan, in 1779, killed his worn-out horses, on his return from his expedition against the six nations. It also has been distinguished for being the spot where some of the earliest pioneers in Chemung county erected their rude log houses, and commenced the work of clearing the forest and transforming the wilderness into farms rich in agricultural products. It has always enjoyed since the organization of the county in 1836, the notoriety of being the great center, where county conventions of all parties have been held, the political Mecca, where candidates and friends have assembled, where political slates have been made and broken, 

tahous!

yay

If there's one thing I miss, it's the white/red hots.

zweigles!
i miss parts of the rochester area.
grew up in the finger lakes - rochester for school and fun.

I'm gonna set one up this august.
Saratoga Sunrise's for breakfast.

i've been in the area for over a year and i've yet to go to saratoga.... will have to fix that on this so-called "track day" 

will have to fix that on this so-called "track day"

Baz and I are taking my parents up for a track day in mid August, so any day but that one for our little excursion will work for me.

Maybe something in early July?
