I’m afraid I’ll have to miss the Games, I’ve enver played a “Game” in my life. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tpayne \* > \*\*We stay right in Mentor when we’re up there, though - there’s a nice hotel there that was attached to an old house downtown. \*\* Would this be the Brunner Funeral Home’s Hotel? They just built a brand new big one. As for prices I prefer not to mention them here because I don’t know what the SDMB policy is on this matter but if a mod stops by I’ll answer. As for th Lan Parties, The cost is based on what we are offering for the prizes as well as what we are offering for refreshments, how long it is, etc. It can range anything from $10-$50 per person. Ill answer more thoroughly when I have time. ---

I’m going to the mall with my friends on sunday around 11 am. Probably we will be there until 2 or so. I’ll drop by the stand, I know where it is. Prolly won’t buy anything, just to say hi. I’ll be wearing jeans and a red shirt. ---

It was originally named something like Brunner Hotel but they changed the name to distance it from Brunner Funeral Home. That Funeral Home is amazing. I saw an advertisment of their Funeral Home Store and it blew my mind. Paraphrasing the advertisment: Bring your family and friends to Brunner Funeral Home Store and have an exciting shopping experience! Brunner Funeral home store: Your source for your every funeral need! They stopped just short of saying “Putting the FUN back in funeral”. Yeesh. ---

I thought there were more Mentor, OH dopers ☹ Mods, would be OK if I do some free advertising for SDMB? ---

Only if you limited yourself to Willoughby Hills and Kirtland, (maybe Concord Twp.) We don’ need more steenkin’ Mentorites. ---

I was at the mall today, and I walked passed the stand/store. I said I was just looking at stuff. If you saw 3 girls come by, two blonds and a brunette and say that around noon, I was one of the three. I didn’t stop to talk since we were in a hurry. If you didn’t see that, than it probably wasn’t you (biohazard) I talked to. ---

Damn, and here I am all the way in PEEb’dy MA when I was just in Ohio, and in fact staying with some friends in Orwell. Originally from Brecksville, then Parma (ugh), then Brunswick. Shame I missed this one, I always wanted to meet Ohio dopers. ---

Good to hear that there are more Ohio dopers than just me. I dont’d get out to Mentor too often as I live in Akron but work in Mayfield Heights, so I get plenty of drive time as it is. Not as much as when I used to live in Burbank and commute to Orange County but “…'tis enough, will suffice.” By the way, Isn’t this the most beautiful winter you’ve ever seen? ---

Another Doper here near Mentor… Willowick, actually. I’ll be glad to drop be and say “hey”. Although, I’m not much of a a techie. Oh, and the hotel everyone is trying to think of is the Best Western Lawnfield Inn and Suites. It’s owned by a by one of the TravelLine Travel Agency companies. The Best Western name is just an affiliation. (Leave it to a travel-guru to noodle THAT one out!) ---

Lets get this Great Lakes Doper Fest together. How does April sound? How many are expected to come will dictate where it will be. Starting a new thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mentor-oh-area-dopers/145417.md?page=1)
