Come to the Great Lakes Meetup! I'm buying first round!

[EstimatedProphet]

Yes, you heard me right...

Where: The Mad Cactus, 9175 Pearl Rd, Strongsville, OH 44136
Meeting time: 4:30 pm or anytime later

The Mad Cactus is a comfortable little bar/Mexican restaurant in Strongsville OH-a map can be found here. The restaurant is best reached by exiting I-71 onto Pearl road, as shown at the north side of the map. We can meet up at the Mad Cactus (they have a band on Saturdays BTW) and later on, move down to the Brew Kettle, a microbrewery a few blocks away. The Brew Kettle, in addition to having some fine beers of their own making (including a really nice rye ale) also has Arrogant Bastard and Old Speckled Hen on tap! For those who want to come but have a long distance to drive, we have checked out some of the various small locally-owned motels. We recommend the La Siesta motel, which has newly remodelled rooms and charges $42 dbl.occ. Also, there are bigger chain hotels at the next exit. And if you're dying to meet some DUers, but live too far away to drive, the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport is just a couple miles away!

56. I'm looking forward to meeting you also

I think we should have decent sowing for the first NE Ohio meet-up.
I looked at where you are coming in from and had to laugh. years ago my bass player's family had a cottage out in Carrollton and the band went there back when we were about 17 or so. That was about 1981 or so. Another funny thing is, I was with those guys last night..lol.
Anyway... It will be a good time. See ya there.
