As discussed in this thread, the 2006 Burning River Dopefest is going to be held in my backyard in South Euclid, Ohio (east suburban Cleveland, near Notre Dame College) at 5:00 PM on Saturday, June 3, starting at 5:00 PM. I’ll have the grill fired up, hot dogs and hamburgers ready for human consumption, tens of varieties of microbrewed beer and real ales in the fridge, and pop for the teetotalers. Later on, a bonfire in the woods beyond the back yard. (It’s still my property, so we’re legal.) Bring your wireless-enabled laptops.
If you’re interested, send me an email for directions and more details.
According to a basic Detroit to Cleveland search on Mapquest, right around 3 hours.
I’m tentative - the summer weekend schedule isn’t set yet. I should know in the next week or so.
Yeah, I’m an idiot. I could/should have looked it up. It was half laziness, half wanting personal anecdotes about how long it REALLY takes or if there are construction delays.
Bad Trevor. BAD TREVOR!
Nah, it’s just my reference librarian nature, tied in with the competitive nature - I see a question and part of me says “must answer immediately, BEFORE ANYONE ELSE CAN!!!”
ok, I should have had less caffeine today.
3 hours is about right for Detroit to Cleveland–depending on where in Detroit and where in Cleveland.
It also depends on how the traffic is through the I-280 corridor in Toledo (where they are (re)building a bridge and freeway from scratch) or what sort of issues you may find on the freeways around Detroit or Cleveland.
Forget that. I-280 is entirely closed over the Maumee River and will be until early fall. Least Original User Name Ever should take I-75 south out of Detroit (where construction delays should be minimal on a Saturday) to the I-80/90 turnpike just south of Toledo. East on the turnpike towards Cleveland. I don’t think there are any significant construction projects on the turnpike between here and Cleveland.
