In the bringing category, any Cinti stuff you think you might need? Graeters, Aglamesis, pigs, soap, Hudepohl, Christian Moerlein, Oldenberg Pale Blonde, etc?
And the costume idea may change, either to something more obtuse or more “halloweeny”.
Do you know the name of the brewery?
Why, yes that sounds lovely! I’m sure I would enjoy some of the lighter beer very much! Thank you so much for offering!
…is what I would say if I wouldn’t die upon drinking it. Thank you for offering, though. I’d normally take you up on that.
Oh, and thinksnow? DynoSaur? The next person to mention Stroh in my presence (ohgodihateyouallIHATEYOUALLstupidpills) is going to be in all kinds of trouble.
::sigh:: I’m probably sounding like a dumbass college chick who thinks she needs booze to have a good time, and I’m really not. I don’t think I’ve had a drink since my birthday in July because of the cost and the empty calories involved. I was kind of looking forward to sending the diet to hell for the weekend and loosening up a little this weekend, cost be damned.
I’m just whining so much because a treat I was looking forward to has been taken away through no fault of my own. I know I’m going to have a fantastic time anyway (how could I help it? 
) but…do you know what I mean here? Or am I just nuts? It’s not like the doctor told me I couldn’t travel or something.
Still, it’s gonna be a great time. And I’ll be able to hold the camera steady for the blackmail pictures! This might have its advantages after all.
Barley’s, down in the short north. Ray is friends with the brewmaster.
Well, I found this from the web, but not a site.
I would vote for the Ivan Porter or the Scottish Ale. But I would also defer to UncleBeer, based soley on his fine moniker.
And Juniper, I am not doing this to torture you, just to make me happy.
Just getting my last couple of posts in before the big weekend. I’m gonna start packing about 6 or so. Need to clean the apartment (landlady’s watching Beru while I’m gone). Must watch the Colts/Chiefs game tonight.
Beer? Is it cold? Then it’s fine. I’m gonna whip up a big batch of Moderator Margaritas, too.
I got a room at the Courtyard for $59/night. Am leaving after work at 6 Fri. night, will make Columbus by 8:30.
I should have asked earlier-what can I bring in the way of food/muchies/drink? What are we lacking?
Should I hang at the Courtyard trolling for dopers, er… looking for dopers or what? Newbie here as far as a fest.
Can somebody mail directions to me? I’ve decided (at the last minute) to go! I hope that’s ok. Please send directions to iamtevya@yahoo.com I’ll make my own hotel arrangements and I already have a costume planned.
Tevya, I will forward you the directions which thinksnow sent out. If you are also coming up from Cincinnati then we might be able to carpool. I will send my phone number along. As noted above I will just go up for Saturday night.
I just finished packing. I just confirmed my reservation. I have not, however, caught up on my sleep from the last Dopefest.

Another thing: tomorrow- it seems folks want to meet at the Courtyard. We could also meet at my place, which is right up the street from the clubhouse. Damn, too many details…I shoulda recruited Shayna, she’s a master planner.
Dope name: Tevya
Bringing: Umm. Probably beer and bloody mary fixins. Some type of food can happen too if that would help.
Costume: A Surprise
Hotel or Apartment: HOTEL (have yet to make reservations)
Bringing SO: YES
Okay, folks, I’m heading to Columbus, so I’ll be offline for the duration. If you ahve any last minute questions, I’m drafting Quix as my local agent, assuming he can either answer your questions or forward y’all to me (I’ll have my cell.)
See some of you tonight (it looks like we’re meeting at the Courtyard) and te rest of you tomorrow.
A reminder: we take control of the clubhouse at 5, so any time after that is fine (or before, if you want to swing by my place or whatever.)
OK, off to Friar Tucks, then a few other errands, and so forth. I should be there by 8…er, 9 in that funny time zone. If I’m not there by midnight, something happened, have fun without me 
I can not believe I am awake. I’m going to the airport in a bit. I guess I should be excited but right now all I am is pretty f’ing tired.
wonders why I booked an 8:40 flight
See you guys in a bit…ugh…forcing eyes to stay open…
Just letting the world know that at least one of us survived the OHdopefest. thinksnow done good.
[amazement]So THAT"S what these things are like!![/amazement] :eek:
I, too, have made it back alive – despite a close call with a 'gator.
I sadly realized when I got back to the hotel room that I had forgotten to fetch Dirty Jenga from the car. Oh well, I guess there’s always next time.
tevya Your 'gator encounter sounds like a croc to me. Except I witnessed it.
I swear that your energy could power a small city for months.
By the way, “nice eyebrows.” 
‘Nother Doper checking in safe and sound if somewhat worse for the wear after OhDope.
But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’, you can’t make me. [sub]hehehehe[/sub]
Except thanks to thinksnow for putting on such a good show. And special thanks to all of the Dopers who helped me bust my Dopefest cherry. You’ll always have a special place in my heart.
