tonyd,
Clint is right about when a good time is to stop by or call, if that is
possible. With the holidays, things'll get a little thin around here,
however. Here's a link to where you can find basic info on the task of
starting your own IMC:
<http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/NewImc>

The New IMC list is here:
<http://lists.indymedia.org/listinfo/new-imc>

Stay in touch, as we can probably find answers to any questions you
might have and we'd be glad to give you help where we can.

PS Clint, I didn't know you were from Harrisburg. I used to spend
summers there with my grandparents. Remember the old "haunted" pool on
the northwest side of town? I always wanted to know what was up with
that place...
