I’m waiting a bit to book a room until I know if MissCreant and I are going to be roomies.
Friday, 10/26 - United Flight #1414 - 8:35pm Check Okay, I’ve got this recorded. I’ll see ya at the gate, porcupine. And if anyone else is taking this flight, I can probably squeeze another person or two in the car.
Arriving from Phoenix on Southwest flight 1898 at 7:45 PM Friday, 10/26.
Can I catch a ride with you and porcupine, UncleBeer? I can just walk over to porcupine’s gate and meet y’all there, since I’m arriving 50 minutes before she does.
That’ll work, Strainger. I’m still negotiating with the old man for the BMW. I’ve gotta convince him the Honda’s a fair trade for the weekend. Well, the Honda, a car wash, a tank of gas and a case of beer.
Hey, how 'bout the Harley? Surely three of us and our luggage can fit on a Harley. Right?
Unlike manhattan, I ain’t crazy enough to ride a motorcycle in Ohio at that time of year. You see, I fully expect freezing rain. Hence, the all-wheel drive BMW.
ME TOO!!!
Same flight
(trying to cut down on airport trips for UncleBeer)
Bunny would you place me in the “will be there with bells and drunk column”, please?
Miss Creant
You’re in like Flynn.
Man, is this going to be the Event of the Century or what?

Did I miss anyone? Anyone in the wrong column? Monster, you seem a little more than a “maybe”. Can I put you in the “Yes” column yet?
And if I can talk my very quiet husband into coming, will someone be willing to talk to him? 
Poor guy was raised just too polite and doesn’t do the “talk over everyone else at the same time” thing like most of us do.
Didn’t take long to fill that car. It looks like the hotel is about 25 minutes from CMH. We’ll probably have to stop and have a cocktail on the road. I dunno if I can go that long without alcohol.
Anyone talked to Gaudere yet? She’s oodles of fun at a DopeFest. MikeG? Anyone? I’ll start bugging her if no one else has yet. 
Did I miss something, or is Gaudere no longer making the trip from Chicago? Or am I mistaken that she was ever planning to. I thought I saw her name mentioned somewhere.
UB, we’re starting to scare me.
Us, too.
Well, it looks like I’m going to miss a metric buttload of fun by getting there on Saturday, but I had obligations Friday evening. Is someone going to be sober enough to pick me up at the airport at 4pm Saturday, or should I investigate alternative transportation?
I’m a weak maybe…
Pers and I will be/should be there by then so I’ll say that we’ll make sure someone picks you up. If I have to get directions from ts to the airport and pick ya up meself, I’ll do. Fear not!
Give me your flight times and I’ll start making a list of people’s flight times and who needs a ride and etc.
Just so you know, in case you’re not familiar: the airport is on the far side of the Columbus by-pass, at about the 3 o’clock position. My apartment (and most of the hotels) is/are at about the 10:30 spot, so yeah, it’s a 25 minute drive, but it’s a quick 25 minutes and it’s all 2, 3 & 4 lane highway.
If you want to make a (not-so-)quick stop somewhere fun that is near the airport (one exit up?), or if we all want to meet up in one of the hottest areas in Columbus these days, you/we could meet up in the Easton Center. New places to eat (Cheesecake Factory, Fado, etc.) and shopping…very nice.
Thanks again to the terrific Bunny, for all the help she is lending to this endevor.
I’m going to a party, I’m going to a party
WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sorry, kinda slow here
I think some of us are still planning on going to the pistol range sometime Saturday (right TS?), so we’ll be sober at least that long.
Yup. I was just looking at my maps. Looks like an easy drive.
