I have just made my hotel reservation for 11/6 at the Holiday Inn on Lane St. If anyone else in interested in staying there the phone number is: 614-294-4848. I got a double for $99.00, a bit pricey but what the hell, it’s only money; I get more every week. I’m sure there are other hotels in the area a bit cheaper but this sounds like the easiest thing.

Other hotels in the general vicinity include a Ramada Inn and a Best Western on Olentangy River Road. Those are within a 2-5 minute drive from the aforementioned pricey Holiday Inn, and I can give people directions if need be.
There’s also ‘Cross Country Inn,’ where my cheapo-Poppa stayed when he came to town. I’d presume (?) DB can help with directions for that, too.
My knowledge of Columbus geography, as an ‘imported-for-educational-purposes-only’ type is unfortunately limited to two or three semi-important roads and intersections.
To the top wit’ ye, scurvy dog.
With a new sig line, my work is done here.
Shit fire, overtime again.

Whaddaya mean, ‘overtime,’ Mr. 4:30 timestamp guy?
I just got home from work.
Back to the top of page one for the benefit of a couple Ohioans I found who haven’t weighed in yet.

I’m in Ohio, but I’ve no way to get to Columbus. And I’m usually busy on weekends anyway. Have fun, those that do go.

Whoops, I forgot that we’re in the same time zone, Uncle Beer.
Just so there’s no surprises, I’ll go ahead and admit right now that I’m a blonde, and frequently a stereotypical one.
Actually, Mel it was just a lame joke
4:34 post - “With a new sig line, my work is done here.” And no sig line of course.
4:35 post - “Shit fire, overtime again.” And then I checked the sig box.
See, lame. At least I can amuse myself though.

I’ve been out of touch for a while - home PC has been down and been too busy at work. So now that it’s fixed I see I almost missed an event! Saturday 11/6 6 PM, right?. I will try hard to be there. Earlier that day I will be downtown at Vet’s Memorial for the International Festival. If anyone is looking for something to do that day, check it out. Lots of good ethnic food, music, etc.
To the top little thread.
Anyone else planning on joining us? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

I’ll take that as a personal invitation, Doll 
Back off, man. I’m a scientist.
So, would you Hayseeds please recap your plans, including dates and times? Never know when a private chopper from New York might land on the roof of the Columbus Holiday Inn. We’d want to be able to find you if the Helipad has a lot of traffic.
You got it Melanie, anything for a beer drinkin’ sax player, even if you’s from NYC.
