Okay, when will the next Ohio dopefest be? I haven’t been to one yet. I almost made it to the one a year ago, but my ride was incapacitated. I have only met one person here, I would like to meet some more. ---

Well, I, for one, am heading that way in about 20 minutes, so if you want to have a mini-dope fest, I’ll be in Dayton in about 10 and a half hours or Columbus on Monday. ---

Well, I have no way to get to Columbus, unless there were a big fest going on and would take the greyhound. ENjoy the cruddy weather… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by vanilla \* > \*\*ENjoy the cruddy weather… \*\* I live in Columbus. This is the only town where, in order to be prepared, you must always have handy: a raincoat, a parka, and a swimsuit. And one of those “beer holder” hats with a straw. Not really necessary, but I like em. 🙂 ---

Since I live in Ohio, I figured I should check in, too. I’m in Cortland … midway between Youngstown and Cleveland, kinda, sorta. There don’t seem to be a lot of Ohioan dopers, so Hi Neighbors! ---

Akron, checking in. Almost made it to UncleBeer’s last one, but timing was off. The Pittsburgh Dopefest being currently talked about sounds close, unless it moves too far East. Alas, it’s not til Feb. ---

I won’t be here for much longer, so I might as well have a Dopefest before I go… How sounds the weekend of November 3-4? Satan will be in town, so you all can meet him too. ---

Unc, I had no idea you lived in Sylvania! As you know, I live in Freedonia, the next country over. Want to fight a war? 😉
