Actually, I haven’t the foggiest where to begin with planning. Perhaps a vet could step in and help. I mean, do we show up, eat, get drunk and talk about the dopers who piss us off, or are we supposed to do something of value and significance? Sir ---

hehe good question, although if you drink I cannot partake for I am a minor and drinking is bad! ---
**Author:** ![Sir\_Rhosis](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/s/d9b06d/32.png) [@Sir\_Rhosis](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Sir_Rhosis)\ **Post date:** [February 17, 2001, 7:56am UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ohio-kentuck-indiana-dopefest/54860/6 "2001-02-17T07:56:09Z")
So I guess any adult female dopers in attendence can’t have “Let’s Get Drunk and Screw” as their theme song if you show up (I’m assuming by the “God” portion of your sig that you’re male). Aren’t minors (how old are you?) of a certain age allowed in some clubs, but are under a no-drinking honor policy? I would envision a restaurant-type setting for the main shindig, so I wouldn’t see a problem with you attending. Actually, I hate parties and gatherings of most natures, but in the SDMB case, I’ll make an exception. But enough, I’ll wait and see if there are any more responses from folks who may know how to bring the thing off. Sir ---

If it’s drinking of the variety in a restaraunt then yeah I’m there. And yes you figured correct by the God=male thing. Now we just need to wait and see if anyone who’s done of these before is gonna come along and point us into the right direction. ---

I’m actually an Ohio-an, but working in kentucky right now. EIther way, I’m up for the Dopefest and have a friend that can handle up to 3/4 people for overnight. Let’s get some others involved here and see what we can arrange. ---

Hey another Ohioan here. I’m about 35 miles from Cinci. Let’s do this. OK that said anybody have a clue how to get this thing off the ground? ---

Okay, see, what we do is: **Pick a date** , and not an escort, but rather a specific time to meet. **Pick a location** , again, nothing sexual here, get your minds out of the gutters, just decide where we shall meet on the afore-decided **date**. [sup]Hi, Opal![/sup] \*\*Pick…\*\*uh, actually, I think that is it. Who wants to start? ---

How 'bout May 33rd? I’m still of a mind to let it warm some more before I come out of hibernation. My thought would be to let the people who have to do the most traveling sorta set the date. I live 25 minutes from Cincy and about the same from Covington, so I could show on little notice. Sir ---

That’s cool, 'course we’ll have to wait for a leap year. As far as **places** go, I should mention that rest’rants are a good place to start and bars can, but don’t have to, follow. [sub]…and after the spankings, the oral sex[/sub] ---

Uhhh… I got banned from the Sub Galley last weekend, thanks to my brawling friends, but I’m game. I promise not to bring them. How about the Cactus Pear on Ludlow? Nice place, good food, moderately priced, and, most importantly, they have Hudy. My only real requirement is that it **NOT BE ON MAIN ST.** I hate that place. Well, not Kaldi’s… but I really preferred the slum. Hmmm… Jack Quinn’s? Coco’s? Price Hill Chili? Boca? ---

I’m in COWlumbus, so I might be game, as long as there aren’t any school or band conflicts… As a recent psychology exam revealed, I’m not a “leader”…so I am incapable of deciding on anything. It also revealed that I secretly wish to be a walrus. I’m not quite sure why… ---

I’m heading to Cinci again this weekend, if anyone wants to meet up. Saturday I’m going to some Mardi Gras thing, but Friday and Saturday afternoon are open. Just FYI. ---

This doesn’t look like it got off the ground, for lack of someone making an executive decision. I just moved back to Dayton, Ohio after seven years in California. (I can hear you all asking, “On purpose?”. Yes, on purpose.) Since I am eager to meet as many bright and interesting people as possible, I think a tri-state dopefest is in order. Executive Decision Time: When: Saturday, August 11th. 7:00 PM Where: Dave and Buster’s off of 270 in Cincinnati Changes are negotiable, but it seems better to start with something. I hope to see you there. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ohio-kentuck-indiana-dopefest/54860.md?page=2)
