The Amherst Pepsi Center (next to UB's North Campus) has open skate pretty often. It's fun, and there's basically no one there which is good if you're like me and don't actually know how to ice skate.

Good luck with the the poker. That sounds pretty intense, but really, even if you don't do well, you still get to be in Vegas for a while. I haven't played poker in years, but I've always liked it.

ok, not enough people active in the UpstateSGNY Group for my liking so i'm going around letting people know that there are new members to the group who would feel more welcome if they actually got a few "welcomes."

also, i'm trying to get a darien lake event around for end of aug/beginning of sept possibly. check out the thread in the group for more info and let me know what you think.
