You know I’m coming, right?
And SkipMagic, where are you and auntie em going to be?
I’m currently trying to pursuade Dex to show up. He’ll be in the general area, but has mucho family responsibilities so it will be unlikely.
If he does, we’ll have two current mods, one Admin, and a former mod(Uncle Beer). Not bad for Cleveland.
But that’s not to slight all the other members who show up at these. A very mature group, and wonderful discussions. My Summer is made.
OOh, my boss gave me the whole day off, and that means I’ll be able to make something good to bring to eat! What to make, what to make…
True. I already have the address, an aerial photo of the house and woods, and your landlord’s last name.
I really like GIS systems 
From Exit 64/Perry-Maumee/I-75 to Exit 151/North Ridgeville-Cleveland/I-480 is $3.35 for a car or light pickup.
(Follow I-480 across the underbelly of Cleveland to I-271 North toward Erie to US-422/Mayfield Rd West toward Cleveland. (There are shorter routes that are somewhat more complex to describe.)
For Michiganders with toll road phobias:
I-75 to Toledo
Exit at Indiana Ave, Turn Left
Merge Right onto Washington St
Turn Right on Summit St
Turn Left on Clayton, which picks up SR-2
Follow SR-2 across the top of the state until it merges with I-90
Follow I-90 into and out of Cleveland until you hit I-271
I-271 South to US-322/Mayfield
(Again, there are shorter routes with more complex directions.)
We done vacated the premises already. We arrived in Brunswick last Sunday morning and left for Kansas City the next day. A good friend of mine worked for the Olmsted Falls school district (or, I suppose, still does since his contract isn’t finished just yet), but since he’s relocating to Arizona, this was (probably) the last time we’ll be in Ohio that far West. Unfortunately, we’ll miss elmwood’s shindig.
Give a guy a break!
I was buying a van…
In Cincinnatti…
And drove back in TORRENTIAL rains…
and my temp tag blew off…
dang… that was a LOOOO-OOOOONG day.
I’ll be at this one. With GrizzWife and the Ursas Minor in tow.
And maybe a Waldorf salad.
I’m a definite maybe. My plans are contingent on when my friends are going back up. As of right now, it’s on. Should I bring anything?
Here’s the directions:

I’m in South Euclid, near Notre Dame College.
I’m moving a bunch of Web sites to a new server this weekend, so my email might be flaky. It’s probably better if you followup in this thread. So far, I’ve got …
BMalion
Kittenblue
Elendil’s Heir
UncleBeer
Here’s what I’ll have:
Pop/soda/carbonated beverages
Beer (mostly US micros and obscure imports 
'Hot dogs, polish sausage (Sahlen’s and Wardynski’s from Buffalo - can’t get them in Cleveland) and buns
Hamburger patties and buns
Ketchup and mustard
BBQ grill, charcoal, starter
Citronella candles
About six folding chairs
Wi-fi router and broadband internet
Plastic cups, plastic plates, plastic cutlery
I really suggest you bring a chair. Small tables would be great, too, since I don’t have a big picnic table. Fill in any blanks with food you might see. A bag of ice if you’re close would be nice, too.
How could you miss me? And I’m bringing baked beans. Good ones. I’ll be there about 5.
And, not to be rude, but how much beer are you stocking. I’ll certainly chip in my share and more of money, but I wouldn’t want to run out. Should I or others bring some also?
Come take a journey into the inside of my refrigerator. I took this photo a few minutes ago.
Actually, it’s looking a bit empty. Think I might go to Warehouse Beverage and pick up a few more.
Well, that’ll do for me. But you will have other guests.
I’m in.
Dibs on the Hobgoblin!
So far, we’ve got:
BMalion
Kittenblue
Elendil’s Heir
UncleBeer
samclem
tomndebb
Anyone else? Others that expressed interest in the old thread, but didn’t confirm, are:
Lsura
Elza B
GrizzRich
Dorjän (may have bike race)
ZipperJJ
dnooman
MisterThyristor
I emailed MisterThyristor, but no answer so far.
I’m also bringing deviled eggs as I bought a few dozen the other day when they were .50/dozen, but now need to do something with them.
If you guys are bringing laptops, does that mean that I’ll be able to attend in cyber-spirit? I’ve no idea when I’ll next be home in Cleveland (as opposed to home here in Montana), but it won’t be June 3.
You must have skimmed over GrizzRich’s post above where he says he’s coming and bringing the wife and kidlets (yay, another female will be there!).
And darn you, samclem you beat me to the deviled eggs! That’s okay, I’m making them for a picnic Thursday…don’t want to make them two nights in one week.!
I’ll bring some fookin’ Newcastle (my current fave), and extra chair, and a folding table.
Gah! Skull Splitter. Headache in a bottle. Man, I really regret the last time I downed a half-dozen of those things. Ouch.
I can bring a few hand-drums for those that want to have a drum-circle!
Anyone?.. Anyone?..
