I shouldn’t be surprised it **thinksnow** or others will organize another OHdope in Columbus this Fall. Don’t miss it. I have hopes that we Northern Ohio Dopers might have one, but no one lately seems willing to organize it. ---

I think there might be something in the wind for later this year in Columbus. (Hopefully.) Ohio isn’t _that_ big, though, so everybody getting together somewhere shouldn’t be a huge problem. ---

When **think** and I were talking at OKiDope, he mentioned that he needed to get moving on organizing OhDope. Maybe this thread will motivate him. ---

Seeing as how it looks like I’ll be doing some travelling to Ohio for the next few months, I’d love to see **think** get motivated and start organizing. ---

Those of you in Northern Ohio should also keep an out for the MI Doper gatherings. I keep strongarming Michigan people into coming to Ann Arbor, which ain’t that far from you folks. I mean, I can set foot in Ohio after a 40-minute drive. ---

**cranky**. I can’t hit Michigan until I drive about two hours. Most Ohioans are in the same boat. Except Unclebeer. And when I hit MI, I still have to drive an hour or more to get to civilization. I know that ain’t far, but it requires some time. ---

**vanilla** I think you should pin your hopes on the Columbus dope which **thinksnow** will probably organize for Oct. We Northern types don’t seem to be able to get it together. ---

To my everlasting shame, I’ll go to my grave regretting that I missed the dopefest at UncleBeer’s. MY personal life just wasn’t right that week. Not that it ever is. ---

I could go for a little CleveDope sometime soon… even Columbus is a bit too far at the moment. Pick a day, any day… Oct., Nov…whenever. I could drag **Lilith Fair** along with me as designated driver for all of us. Too bad the Grog Shop is closing…
