SuperDude, you hit it on the head: the more, the merrier.
As for my planning of this, uh…well, I’m not sure. I’m the idea man here Actually, assuming I’m still in Loonyville, I’ll probably be making some weekend trips back home over the next few months to settle some details[ul] [li] There are a number of local bars, sights and attractions (Go Bucks!). [] I can probably get the clubhouse (if I make plans this early, anyway.) [] I think my apartment complex has a deal where people can get an apartment overnight like a hotel room and it’s pretty cheap and incredibly nice, but I’ve got some room…a couch, 1,100 sq. ft. of floor-space and my bed (line forms to the left) and there are plenty of hotels around for out-of-towners. [] Directions are a piece of cake, assuming it’s at my place, but it doesn’t have to be, so we can work on those. [] Also depending on locaton, I’ll probably make the Ohio version of “George,” Harry Buffalo (aka: Hate Punch, Jungle Juice or Blackout Sipper) & (be careful with the fruit on the bottom!)[/ul][/li]Local folks can probably find a ride over, if not with me, than with any of the myiad other Ohio Dopers (and there are many in this fine state.)
BTW, Dude, I’m out of town most weekends, but almost every Wednesday I’m up at Jake and Elwoods on Shelbyville and Breckenridge. Drop me an email.
Okay, you heard the woman. All questions should now be addressed to Bunny.
<phew> Thanks, M., that really takes a load off! [sub]
(though I suppose poetic justice would have been to fob this off on Cranky! … then again, I wouldn’t want to risk a Wolverine planning anything in Buckeye country)[/sub] :D:p
My pleasure! I love being in charge! [sub]muhawwwwwaaaaaahahaha[/sub]
Okay, folks, email is carls197@msu.edu or just hit the magic little button at the bottom of my post. That’s obviously a work email so don’t expect an answer on the weekends!
Does everyone want to know in advance what other costumes will be or just make it a surprise?
Oddly enough, my October is starting to look busy. This from me, the girl who NEVER has any plans, suddenly has concerns about fitting something in THREE MONTHS OFF. But I have a trip to CO and possibly a trip to VA that month. If I can make it, tho, I’ll be there with bells on.
[sub]Note to all: the “bells on” was a figure of speech. This is no way should be taken as a commitment from me to attend dressed as a sleigh, a church steeple, a carrilon, a salvation army bucket, an elf, or any entity, edifice, or object known to have bells thereon. Furthermore, no one with plans for a costume which includes bells should feel compelled to find a new costume, complain to the management about “stolen ideas”, or plot my untimely death on my way back to MI thanks to a sheared-off brake cable. Got it? It’s just an expression. A cliche. A colloquialism, so to speak.[/sub]
Okay, Cranky will be allowed to grope me. Because she’s a grown-up, and she’s terminally hip.
[sub]If I can make it. I don’t know yet. Finances may be an issue. And I haven’t mentioned it yet to my husband. But Bunny, I know that pained look oh so well.[/sub]
Pers, if you can get time away from the kids and hubby, we’ll make it work somehow. Just plan on going. My prediction is that hubby will send me on my merry way by myself…maybe.
If anybody needs a ride up from Cincinnati, I can haul 2-3 people, depending on if the missus decides to go or not, on the following conditions:
-You don’t care if I smoke like a chimmney.
-You don’t complain about all the crumpled up cigarette packs on the floor of my car.
-You don’t touch the radio. NO.
I’ll have more definite plans as the day approaches.
I think I would give limbs and less needed internal organs for such bike rides. My mom says I can’t have one. pout So I’ve taken to throwing myself at bikers. I just want one chance to wear leather pants and a helmet that says “Bitch”, it’ll make my life complete!
I’m a Columbus Doper, and this sounds like fun. I’ll tentatively offer up shitty lodgings for a few people. It has to be tentative because I may end up living in a glorified cubicle… er, studio I mean. But if I get a one-bedroom, I should have couch and floor space (and bed space, for the ladies… awwwww yeah).
I’ll have a few months to decide if I want to try to lose enough weight for a sexy playboy bunny outfit or go as I am ----a mermaid of course. Either way it will be great.
