In a couple of months?  That's early winter in Rochester. :--)  Being from
California, you will probably go through some serious "green deprivation"
between November and May.

Yeah, that's the way I remember it.  It ran in Rochester some 20-plus years
ago, when it was just known as "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein".  I remember
someone being run through with a steel pike, which then swung out over the
audience, entrails dangling.  I'll skip the re-showing of that one.

The NSA holds their annual convention in Rochester every 25 years or so.
The only stereo club is the Stereo Division of Kodak Camera Club, and you
have to be a Kodak employee for membership.  Guests are allowed to visit
the meetings, however.  

There have also been some small get-togethers at my place in Webster now
and then, for slides and chit-chat. Let me know when you arrive and we'll
set something up. 

There are lots of stereo photography opportunities, if you're a shooter.
Rochester is divided east and west by the Genesee River, and north/south by
the Erie Canal, so there are a lot of bridges and waterfalls to photograph.
 A couple of teens were pasted by a freight train on one of those bridges
yesterday (just before a sightseeing boat passed by- yuck!), so a modicum
of caution and common sense is advised.
