There was a TT member in Albany and I never knew?  I am stunned, but I should not be surprised I find out after I depart the area (I was in Troy for two years and left in August).  Nice to know I was not the only one around, even if I'm gone now. =)  
I don't know if you know it, but there is a small gathering that takes place in Albany (well, Guilderland, just before Crossgates) in February.  If meeting some nice folks interests you, I can point you to the information, as I don't think I ever saw you there.
