Would Erie-ites be invited? I know how you Ohioans are about Pennsylvanians…especially those originally from Pittsburgh. 😛 I met quite a few of you at **elmwood’s** a several years back. I’m not sure if I have other obligations that weekend or not, but I know this will be a blast. ---

Oh, and **Little Nemo** , you should also see the Art Museum and the Natural History Museum (across a green from each other, so it’s easy to see both the same day). Also close by there is the Western Reserve Historical Society, which also includes the Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum, if you happen to have any interest in Cleveland history and/or old cars. And my family hails from western PA, too. You’ll actually find a fair number of Steelers fans around here. In my experience, the rivalry is only a big deal when Cleveland and Pittsburgh are actually playing each other. ---

Seconded. The art museum just got a makeover too, it’s very nice. Also, the Botanical Garden in the same area is worth a visit, especially if the weather is still cold. They have an impressive rain forest greenhouse that is nice and toasty. Also, definitely try and make it to the zoo. We’re members and go all the time, it’s well worth the visit if you’re a zoo person. ---

The art museum is excellent. A new contemporary art museum opened up too. ---

It’s looking like it’s 80% likely. I’ve got to go do some work on my old house before new tenants move in. ---

There’s actually a good chance that I might make it this time . . . especially with my new GPS (I tend to get lost on the west side). ---

However, I don’t do structural damage, and I can’t promise any level of humorous flatulence on that day. I can reasonably promise taking waay too big of a bite of something, and failing to conceal a burp I might try to hide. The rest is just hear say, or will be, or whatever. ---

I don’t think it’s general knowledge, but I’m making my Cajun Jambalaya for youse guys that night. So don’t eat before you come. It contains shrimp, chicken, and real Andouille sausage. ---

Did I hear someone mention my name? Ahhh, I see. Given the proper ethnic breakfast and the amount of artillery in my basement, I think I could cover all that. 😃 ---

Some of the posts have been ambiguous, but at this point, just over a week out, I have it as: Definitely coming: **Elendil’s Heir kittenblue samclem BMalion Sticks and Scones freckafree Little Nemo dnooman CapnPitt** And just maybe… **Jonno panache45 kopek Chronos hotflungwok Swords to Plowshares elmwood pantheon** Can we make some of those “maybes” into “definitelys”…? Of course the door is still open to other Dopers who haven’t posted at all yet. ---

Ok. If I plan jambalaya-compatible nibblies for 20 we’ll be fine. Any special food requests? I can rock gluten-free for some things if I need to. And I think there will be buckeyes…you know, in memorium.
