3rd Annual
Just Playin’ Around WNY 2005 (last
updated August 14, 2005)
General Info: We are officially in the
Event Schedule: We’re trying to maximize your boxing time,
so the schedule is simple:
11:00am—Event
begins. Come stamp
into the event book, get the event stamps, exchange with other boxers and get
some food. You can do this at ANY time between 11:00 and 4:30, but the food
DOES run out and people will be in and out all day! IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A GATHERING, BE SURE TO COME AT
THIS TIME SO WE CAN HAVE TIME TO MEET YOU AND HELP YOU GET ORIENTED!
11:00-4:30pm:
Boxing all over the park & Rochester. You can also use this time to exchange at the
pavilion or just talk to other folks in the area
4:30pm—Group
photo. Be
sure to come back in time to get everyone in the shot so we’ve got something to
share on the boards!
4:45pm—Raffle
& Award time! Pay
a $1 per ticket and get a shot at winning some great boxing supplies or win an
stamping award for the day!
5:00pm—Event
ends. Join up
with the local folks for dinner at one of the nearby restaurants (TBA) or head
home/to your hotel to relax. Come back Sunday to get what boxes you missed!
Food: Like
all gatherings, our bounty will be potluck, so bring your favorite dish and let
us know what it is (so we don’t have too little or too much of anything!).
We'll provide hotdogs and soda if you bring the side dishes!
Accommodations: Unlike Middleport,
Boxes: Boxes
will be placed all over Durand Eastman Park and Rochester for this event, some
of which will be picked up a month afterward and returned to their owners. Clues for the park boxes will be posted on our gathering clues page
on Thursday the 24th, so no peeking until
then (don't worry, those of us living around here have promised to wait until
Saturday to search!). We’ll also have a booklet of the park clues to give out
at the pavilion, but only until we run out! Our box theme is all about fun and
games, so the boxes we have are as follows:

As you can see,
more box donations are wholly unnecessary at this point (since the park is only
so big), but raffle items would be GREATLY
appreciated. We only have about 6 items so far, so any boxing supplies
or fun items you can send to add to our list would really help make the whole
thing worthwhile. Proceeds for this raffle will go toward the cost of the
pavilion, the grill food and...well, other raffle items! :-).
Getting Around & Other Boxes: There’s the Thruway boxes
on your way into town, but also check Atlas Quest for
Questions?: Let us know (the
Sprite & the Highlander) if WE can be of more help. This is the second WNY
gathering we’ve planned (third for the area) and we want it to be as much fun
as the November 2004 one was (but WARMER!). If you know of anyone else that's
interested, please feel free to pass this info along to them and have them sign
up on Atlas Quest! We have over 50 people coming, some of which are from as far
as CT, MA and Canada...you could be one of them! This park is almost exactly
the same drive time for
The (going insane with excitement…again!) Sprite & the (tying
her down with reality, as usual!) Highlander
