Are we **ever** going to have an Ohio dope? I am near Cleveland. Who else is around here? Why aren’t we geting together?? ---

The Ohio border’s not too far from me. If I’m still in Michigan for the summer, I’ll make it a point to attend. ---

I threw a well advertised bash for Halloween in Columbus, as noted by the esteemed **SamClem** , last year. If you check MPSIMS, you’ll see a current thread discussing a possible [CinciDopers get together.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=111312) FTR, I’ll likely be hosting another OhDope (HalloDope? DopeAWeen?) this year, so plan on that, too. ---

As for the Cleveland folks, why dontcha have a CleveDope the same time we’re having CincyDope and then we can Dope both corners of the state at the same time? It’ll be something for you to do in the summer time to drum up support for OhDope the Sequel in the fall. ---

And I vote for CleveDope for everyone! ---

I’m not really an Ohio resident anymore, but I grew up in Columbus, and I still have family and friends there. They expect me to visit anyway, and an Ohiodope might be a good excuse to get my butt up there. I’ll just keep an eye on the situation and see what’s going on… ---

**TomnDebb** ’s?!!! If you Clevelanders wouldn’t mind a Pittsburgher crossing the border, I might well be interested. As it happens, I’ll be in Columbus late in July for an RG, and in Cleveland in September for the same reason. On the surface, RG’s and Dopefests have a lot in common; I’d love to be able to acquire hard evidence. CJ ---
