Some classic csgeeks abodes
Over the years, there have been some apartments/houses where various geeks
have lived, which became places of common csgeek assemblage.
- 4801 North Bailey
- Davin moved in here in Fall 89, with Adam Rosenberg as his housemate.
Adam stayed for three years, and then graduated and left (to a job in
Ohio). Bud then moved in for a year. Davin and Bud both moved out at the
end of Summer 93 - Davin moved in with Elyse, and Bud went to his parents
briefly, before moving on to grad school at Stanford. Dan Boyd then moved in
(with Joe Guszcza as his housemate), and stayed for a year. Then, in Summer
94, ended the csgeek occupation of 4801 North Bailey.
This apartment saw many csgeeks events, including the first bunch of end of semester parties. And it became the
standard location of the weekly gaming group.
- Sutton Place
- Chris, Brian and Eric ("the trinity", or "the triumvirate") lived in an
apartment in the Sutton Place complex from the middle of the Fall 89
semester, January 91.
This apartment saw the first pre
Thanksgiving dinner, and was the first regular gaming location.
- 171 Berehaven
- [Details please guys - who lived here when?]
This apartment was the location of a semesterly barbecue.
- Amherst Manor
- Elyse moved into an apartment in the Amherst Manor complex in Fall 91,
after having spent her 4 undergraduate years in the Main Street dorms. Her
first housemate was Debbie Hirsch, who moved out Summer 92 when she
graduated. The Jackie moved in for a year, until Summer 93. Davin moved in
with Elyse in Fall 93. Elyse and Davin lived there until September 1999,
when they moved down to the NYC area.
Davin's end of semester parties and
the weekly gaming sessions followed him to this apartment when he moved
there. It basically became the standard geek hangout. For example, people
often come over to watch Babylon 5, and other
TV. It also became the site of a few July 4th parties (for Chris and
Elyse's birthdays).
- 494 Stockbridge
- John and Alistair moved in in June 95. The house was broken in to
csgeeks events with a Housewarming party on July 15.
- 180 Mackinaw
- Chris, Brian and Eric moved in here in January 91 when they left
Sutton. The apartment was partially finished when they first moved in (in
fact, it had no heat, even though it was winter when they moved in!), but
was eventually fairly livable. (They were initially in the upper front
apartment, made the lower rear livable, and moved there somewhere around the
end of the semester. With the addendum that Chris' room was actually in the
lower front until Brian left.)
Brian left in February 92 and took a job in California. Chris and Eric
stayed there until Chris moved out in the Summer of 94. Eric just moved out
in the Summer of 95 (and moved to an apparently cool place near the Brew
Pub). Matt (and his ferrets) moved in to the upstairs apartment in summer
92 and moved out of there in July 95 (and moved into an apartment in London
Towne with Sandy).
And Chris moved back in at the end of September, 1996! Into the upstairs
apartment that Matt had lived in.
This apartment was the location of many pre Thanksgiving dinners (91-93), and
also the site of gaming on occasion. Matt's apartment was the Babylon 5
watching location site for part of the first season, and also an occasional
gaming site. The building was also the location of rapunzel.net - the
thinnet ethernet running out the window between Eric's and Matt's machines;
which was often used for multi-player Doom.
- Hope Lodge, 197 Summer Street
- Alistair and Deborah Campbell were the resident managers of Buffalo
Hope Lodge from 1992-1994. This apartment was the site of one party,
as well as the first annual ``Spring Break Get Smashed.''
- 59 Lisbon
- Heather and Peej (and Peggy) shared an apartment here.
This apartment was the site of gaming for a while during 91, and also where
the beardless-Kulbir party was held! (And some other people might have other
stories about this place.)
- 739 Castelbar
- Steve's place (actually his parent's place). It has housed the
occasional party, barbecue, and is used for gaming sometimes.
- 572 Minnesota
- Chris Cheung lived here for the 94-95 school year. The csgeek even
that was held here was the 94 pre
Thanksgiving dinner.
- 257 and 264 Water Street, New York, NY
- Jim lived across the street from Peej and Kulbir in Manhattan from 1996
until P & K moved to the Upper West Side in 1998. Jim continued to live at
257 until he moved to Brooklyn with Jen a few years later.
