Everyone is welcome, really. The reason some of us seem to know each other a bit better is because we’ve met each other before.
It’ll be a good time, no pressure to be witty or informative, just to meet people IRL (not that you’ll be pressured into meeting anyone, I just meant that that is the biggest thing to do…which isn’t to say you can’t be witty or hold a lengthy discourse on a topic of your choosing…uh, nevermind.) It’ll be fun and everyone is welcome is all I’m saying
Have we decided on a venue yet?
Bovary, I am giving serious consideration to drive up from Cincinnati, and I won’t know anyone from RL either, so we can start a support group if that would make you feel better.
If any other Southwest Ohioans are interested, and need a lift in a non-smoking vehicle, let me know.
Also willing to take any bright ideas on how to dress as a Shibboleth…
I think I’ve been talked into it. I’ll be coming from Preble county, due west of Dayton if anyone needs a ride or some company.
What about Kentuckians? I live in Louisville. Lemme know if you want to ride up together.
think has rented out his apartment complex’s club house.
Rules are: dress up, bring a snack to share, bring a drink(s) to share, meet fellow Dopers, party, enjoy.
I’m making a list (and checking it twice) to keep track of who is definately coming and who might come. As we get closer, if anything changes, email me.
Well, seeing as how I’ll have to back out of the ChiDope coming up, perhaps an OhDope is just what the doctor ordered.
Did I see a grouping leaving from Chi in my skimmings of this thread, or do I have to hitchhike?
Good lord, and a costume, too? Us Chi people just get drunk and have an orgy. We don’t need no stinkin’ costumes to get in the mood.
Silly Ohioans.
Nym, I think porcupine and tiggeril (sp!?) are planning on/hoping to come. Maybe you could catch a ride with them.
Bummer that you can’t come to ChiDope - I was looking forward to meeting you.
Hope you can make it to this one.
Hey thinksnow, I think we should have everyone do a shot of Stroh before they can come to the party. And take a picture of them just as the burn starts to hit. 
I’m definitely planning on going, but I don’t know yet if I’m flying or driving. My back didn’t tolerate the drive to Spiffled very well (and that was the reason I was horizontal much of Friday evening on Spiffled weekend; it had nothing to do with alcohol), and that was only 3 hours, and given the cheap fares, flying is definitely looking like a good option (a whopping $78). thinksnow, you’d be more than happy to pick me up at the airport, right? RIGHT??!!??
But it’s only July - why am I worrying about this now when it’s three months away? [sub][little voice inside my head]Because you’re am an analytic with severe anticipation anxiety, that’s why.[/little voice][/sub]
Because it’ll be the most fun you can legally have in 27 states, 3 provinces and 14 foreign countries!!
Better listen to BunnyGirl, she’s my Minister of Affairs ( ), what she says, goes [sub](after my approval.)[/sub]
Nymy, darling, you don’t need a costume, you could come as Lady Godiva.
Everyone else, as my MoA said, this is still a ways off and there will be plenty of news between now and then, however, let me assure you of two things:[list=1][li]it will be easy to find (right off 270, just north of I-70)[*]you’ll never be the same afterwards[/list=1]Now, if that’s not putting too much pressure on us to throw one hell of a party, I don’t know what to tell you.[/li]
Oh, and Porc, my Minister of Libation, I’ll leave it to you to bring the Stroh, since neither Ohio, Kain’tuck or Indi sell the blessed liquid.
Yah, so if anyone wants an affair with think, let me know. I’ve got his schedule book handy. 
Hey, you two, (porcupine and think) am I correct in anticipating an introduction at the ChiDope to this Mr. Stroh you speak of?
Lordy, my hair isn’t THAT long yet. I might show something.
Oh, wait…
I’ve still got Stroh! I’ve still got Stroh!
/end grade school-type taunting
Hey, anything to further along the orgy. 
By the way, I’m calling “DIBS” on Nymysys at the orgy. I want first crack [sub]no pun intended[/sub]. Vavavavoom!
I was rooting around in my basement yesterday looking for something to use as a strap for a purse I made, and I found a cloak.
A cloak. A black cloak. With a hood and everything.
It was in a box of craft stuff that my husband got for me, for $2 at a silent auction.
Hm. I think this means that I must dress as a witch for Halloween this year. And maybe if I start practicing right now, I can figure out how to use my Tarot cards and do some readings.
Who said anything about an orgy? We’re going to drink punch, eat cookies and play euchre. Pervert.

Might?! That’s sort of the idea, dear. [sub]Not nice, teasing about the Stroh, especially when it was mine to begin with![/sub]
MoA, I like the idea of a list, but I prefer the personal touch. Maybe you could just whisper my appointments in my ear.
As it happens, I am aware of much more enjoyable reasons to spend an evening horizontal than either of those.
C’mon out to Ohio, and I’ll show you.
The 27th. That’s on a weekend, right? Lemme pencil this bad boy on my calendar. Can I come as a right-wing NRA gun nut, say maybe, G. Gordon Liddy? I’ve always wondered what my shaved head looks like. Probably similar to a pumpkin. And the same color.
Manny, you’re really planning on driving the bike? Through the mountains of Pennsylvania near November? You might wanna think about that again.
No. The rest of us are going to be in costume. You have to as well.
It wasn’t my original plan, but who can pass up the chance to have Medea’s Child vibrating on a bike and hanging on to you for three hours?
