   Okay - how does September 10-12 sound to everyone for the Invasion of 
Athens, or the First Annual Peloponnesian War, or Operation Coxsackie 
Freedom, or whatever you want to call it?

   To get to the scene of the crime, get on the NYS Thruway headed toward 
Exit 21B Coxsackie, at milepost 125 (give or take a mile or so), 125 miles 
north of New York City, and 17 miles south of Albany.
   Go through the toll booths, turn left, go 3/4 mile to the Coxsackie 
Antique Center, just over the bridge and on the left.

   There is a hotel about a quarter mile away - you'll pass it on the way 
to the center.

BEST WESTERN NEW BALTIMORE INN

   There are several good restaurants - my favorite is Red's (a bit 
expensive, but very good food), but there's also Marco's Diner, Paul's 
Pizza and Pasta, Sharon's, The Mongolian Buffalo Carcass or whatever the 
hell it is, all within about a mile.  A bit further away are The Quarry 
Steakhouse, The Pegasus, and Reed's Landing.

   There's an Ace hardware store in Coxsackie, but they won't have what you 
need (maybe).  I have no idea where to refill CO2 tanks locally.

   Questions?

Bill
