Maybe if you wanted to add a little class to the operation you could move it north across the state line? MI, that is!! ---

Just to keep it open. I am up for it. I would love to drag my smelly butt down to Columbus. I live just outside Cleveland. Any weekend would be fine. Kewl!!! ---

I am still up for it, too. I could do New Year’s, but it doesn’t appear many other people could. Thansgiving weekend is also my birthday weekend, but we don’t usually do much for the holiday anyway. Any weekend anyone wants to set something up, I can probably be available. * * * “I love God! He’s so deliciously evil!” - Stewie Griffin, _Family Guy_ ---

How 'bout if we try for the weekend of Sat. 11/6 & Sun. 11/7? Any problems with that one? * * * “The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.” - _Humphrey Bogart_ ---

That one sounds good. I know I can’t do Thanksgiving because I’ll be in Cleveland then. Oh, and Jvanhorn? Hairless nuts are much easier to eat… ---

If I can get a sitter that weekend is fine. Should I pencil or ink it in? ---

Ink that bad boy on your calendar. All we need to decide now is where to meet and what time. Isn’t there a Holiday Inn on High Street? Or any hotel with a bar. I’m planning on staying over night in town. Maybe all of us driving in could stay at the same hotel? It would give us a convenient place to meet and then take our act on the road from there. * * * “The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.” - _Humphrey Bogart_ ---

There’s a Holiday Inn on Lane Avenue not far off High St. Um, address is 328 W Lane Ave. I don’t know whether they have a bar. Being as they’re also a convention center of sorts, though, I’d think so. * * * “There is nothing you ought to do, for the simple reason that you know nothing, nothing whatever- make a mental note of that, if you please.” -V.

Yes, that Holiday Inn is only a few short blocks from my place. And it certainly does have a bar and restaurant, not to mention the twenty thousand bars in that area. And Karaoke night on Friday nights, and a bitchin’ Sunday brunch. However, I’m not sure…has anyone checked to make sure that weekend isn’t a home game? I’ll have to look it up. ---

Nope, not a homegame weekend. The only homegame the Buckeyes have in November is on 11/13. At least the football team. I don’t think we need to worry about basketball. I will probably make reservations there and get in sometime Saturday afternoon. * * * “The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.” - _Humphrey Bogart_ ---

I’ll be sitting in Ashley’s Lounge (that’s the name of the place in the Holiday Inn) at 6:00 that very Saturday afternoon, then. Everyone make reservations now! ---

That Holiday Inn on Lake has the annual sex exhibition/convention, right? There was a columnist in Cincinnati that would report on it. I went to OSU once upon a time. ---

2 questions: 1. Is this gathering open to SDMB spouses? 2. How will we know who we are? Should we wear funny hats or something? * * * “I love God!
