****Ohio Meetup****

[CaliforniaPeggy]

OK, my dear Lounge lizard friends!

lizziegrace and I have decided that we need to have an Ohio DU meetup!

Now, this is NOT restricted to just Ohioans!


ALL ARE WELCOME!


We're thinking early August, on a Saturday afternoon into evening...

It will either be at her place or at a nearby park which is located on Hwy 23.

You will need to bring:

Your own lawn chair
Your own drinks
And a side dish to share!

The meat will be provided!

Please PM lizziegrace to tell her which weekend is best....

We will set up an email or evite list to notify all as to when it will happen!

Come and meet us! Come out to play! I want to meet as many of you as possible!

I live about 20 miles north of the city. :)

[TimeChaser]

8. That anywhere near Delaware, OH?

I go to school there

[lizziegrace]

20. Wesleyan?

My daughter's boyfriend goes there. Yes, it's close.

:)

[TimeChaser]

36. Yep

I'm a zoology major. Sophmore this year

[lizziegrace]

37. You and my daughter are the same age

she goes to OSU

I didn't realize Wesleyan started so late. :shrug:

[TimeChaser]

38. Well, last week of August

We don't get many breaks durring the year, but we start late and end early.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. So I should fly into Columbus?

Wait.....that sounds so wrong!

I should use the airport at Columbus?

OK, that's better!

I cannot wait.......

:pals:

[lizziegrace]

21. Columbus would be good...

Dayton isn't too far either. Cleveland's about 2 1/2 hours from here (to the airport)

[WCGreen]

5. I'll mosey on down....

Maybe I can get Johnny and Astmaticeog to come on down....

[lizziegrace]

6. The more the merrier

And I expect you to attend. That's an order, sir.

:hi:

[WCGreen]

15. Wouldn't miss it....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Now that sounds terrific!

Could you bring your guitar?

I've been wanting to hear you play forever.....

And Johnnie and Asthmaticeog would be excellent to meet too!

:hi:

[asthmaticeog]

16. My ears were burning...

I don't see why not. Maybe I could cajole BTBM and Cathyclismic into a day trip, as well?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear asthmaticeog!

OF COURSE!

I want as many folks as possible to come to this party!

We will have a complete ball!

:woohoo:

[WCGreen]

24. That would be great.....

We could car pool....

[TimeChaser]

7. Aww, if only it was a month later,

I could make it :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear TimeChaser!

I am soooo sorry!

It would be so good to meet you.....

There will have to be more of these in the future, that's all there is to it!

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

22. We'll have to meet

when you get here in September. Sound good?

:hi:

[Lady President]

14. I'm a Columbus chick

I've been to a couple DU Meetups and they are alway full of great people. Any weekend in August is fine with me-- who has plans that far in advance?!? :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear Lady President!

We wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible....

Please come, and get aquainted!

It will be fun for all........:hi:

[nascar55]

[KitchenWitch]

19. Wish I could make it

But I will have just gotten done moving.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear KitchenWitch!

Sorry to have missed your post earlier.....

I'm sorry too that you can't be there!

But there will be others in the future, you can count on that...

And of course, we will have some out in sunny Kalifornia!

:hug:

[WCGreen]

23. If we get say 50 or so people....

We could probably get a candidate or two to stop by....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Absolutely!

Always thinking politics, huh?

J/K!

How about Sherrod Brown? Or maybe even ...damn, I can't think of his name...your old friend?

Didja check your PM...


:hi:

Edited to add: Dennis Kucinich.....that's the old friend.....

[lizziegrace]

26. I can contact the Delaware and Franklin county Dems

See if we can get a rally going in conjunction with the meetup. The party will last long after then candidate leaves...

:)

[WCGreen]

28. No kidding....

We could probably get some statewide candidates...

We might even get Chris Redfern...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Which office is he running for?

[lizziegrace]

shhhhhh.....

(I have no idea...)

Don't tell Chris.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. No worries......He won't see this!

It'll be our little secret! :rofl: :rofl:

[WCGreen]

39. He is the chairman of the state party....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. Now that would be something else!

:woohoo:

[TOhioLiberal]

30. I'm looking into it...

...not sure if the car will make the trip. I'll know more in a couple of weeks, when I have to road trip up to Detroit Metro. If that trip goes off without a hitch, I think I'll be able to go. If not, maybe a DU'er will be passing through here...:shrug:

[lizziegrace]

31. As we get closer

I'll email everyone a list of who's interested and their locations. I'm sure we can get you here somehow!

:hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

33. All Right!!!

:woohoo::woohoo:!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear TOhioLiberal!

Oh, I so hope that your car will be OK....

And that you can come to the party!

It promises to be a terrific time! :woohoo:

[TOhioLiberal]

34. I hope so...

...as lizziegrace pointed out, there should be someone going my way, so to speak!

[lizziegrace]

41. Kick for the daytime crowd

:kick:

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. If it were going to be MI, or maybe Chicago, I could be there.

Sorry I'll miss out, but have a Blast!!! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. My dear MrsGrumpy!

How I wish you could make it......:cry:

I know this will be no end of fun for all...

Perhaps one fine day, there will be a meet-up in your neck of the woods, and I can be there for that!

:hug:

[redqueen]

43. Early August?

You have no idea how much I'd like to be there... but I don't know if I can make it at that time... I'll certainly try!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Well....THAT'S quite a list you have there!

First off....I do not stink!

Secondly...I have many many friends in Ohio, and as I said, young lady...

This meet-up is NOT restricted to the residents of that state!

So I'm there to meet whoever can make it, OK?

Are we clear on this?

I hope so!

Any other questions?

I'm helping with a fund raiser for Jennifer Brunner for Secretary of State in Mansfield Aug. 12, but should be available the first week of Aug.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

62. My dear OhioBlue!

I sure do hope you can come too!

It promises to be a heck of a party!

Good for you, helping Jennifer Brunner! Ohio must turn blue once more...

:applause: :applause:

[gmoney]

57. Should be able to make it, if we pick a weekend soon...

Most of my weekends get crowded with shoots, but if I know pretty soon, I can set the day aside to be there. I'm in Dayton area, probably about 2 hours from Delaware. Could probably give someone a lift from Dayton or a point along the way.

Sounds like fun... Peggy, any chance you could pack Fleabert in your carry-on and bring her with ya?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. My dear gmoney!

I do hope you can make it! I'm not sure just when we will settle on a date......

I do think Fleabert might object to being packed in my carry-on!

:rofl:

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

58. I'm going through Ohio to Indiana in Early August

Though we won't be there on a weekend. Out family is getting together for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We'll probably be stopping about 70 miles NW of Columbus where I grew up.

:hi:

[Maccagirl]

59. I would love to come

I live on the east side of Columbus so this will be fantastic. Any Saturday in August willbe fine with me-just let me know.
