Welcome to the boards Grantusum! Great city btw, been to New York quite a few times, love it. Went to one of the medieval faires in October a number of years ago, held at the Cloisers cool

I just wanted to add that there is also a New York Fan Force chapter, so before you move you may want to chat and meet up with them. You can find them here - http://boards.theforce.net/new_york_city_ny/b10103/p1
I know them quite well, was part of their chapter for some time, and they are a great bunch of people. Most of the group costume, so you could ask them too. Fan Force for the most part is the social side of fandom, though as Suzi said we have people interested in all parts of fandom, including costuming and cosplay.

Good to have you here, hope to see you around!

Just bumping this back up to keep it in people's minds.

When would people prefer to have this meet- perhaps late Jan/early Feb, which gives us all a chance to get over Xmas and save up a bit? thinking

Hi Guys

I've bumped this thread over on our very, very quiet boards too, I have suggested early Feb as a rough date to enable peeps to recover from the Christmas excesses. You will definately have Melissa and myself turning up with at least two or three others showing some interest. Looking forward to it!

I guess Edinburgh could be a one day or weekender, so if people want to stay over that's fine, or just want to make a day of it, then that's fine too. (Personally, I'd be up for making a weekend out of it, but that's by the by.)

We can sort out the finer details nearer the time, but it may be useful for people to have a think about anywhere they'd like to visit, or what they want to do while they're there.

I don't know how people feel about this idea, but perhaps we could do something together (like visiting somewhere) and then have time to go off and do what we want to do to save everyone trapsing round altogether?? Thoughts please...... thinking

There's the Scottish Whisky Museum Experience http://www.whisky-heritage.co.uk/ , Sie, also a great place to visit! You go on a Jorvik type trip through the history of our national drink and get a wee bit of tasting too!

Seasons Greeting to you and Melissa from Carlisle!
Wow George - that's an interesting view of historic Edinburgh for a 17 century re-enactor. Hopefully I'll make the joint meet in February.
