I’m not too close to Columbus, but I’m not too far either. I could come up depending on my work schedule. Of course, I’ve never been to a dopefest before, so I may make the extra effort. Brendon Small ---

Heck, I was just in Ohio, as part of a fest with another board. We camped out at Caesar Creek State Park. Had a blast. Made a side trip to Jungle Jim’s International Market, in Fairfield. And I came all the way from Kansas! ---

The Whatsit family is tentatively interested in such a gathering. Would need to be either 1) child-friendly or 2) on a Sunday. ---

Any Columbus dopers feel like putting up four Tom Waits fans for a night while we trek out from New Jersey for the concert on Saturday the 28th of June? 🙂 ---
