May 10, 200619 yr I'm still in. I even made a hotel reservation, and I hope I don't have to murder any family members in order to make this trip.
May 10, 200619 yr I'd like to meet as well. However I will leave the group about 1:30 as I am giving an "Architreks" architectural tour at 2:00 (until 4:00) from the Contemporary Arts Center. But I'd like to go to the top of the Carew, etc. with the UrbanOhio group if that's ok.
May 10, 200619 yr BallHatGuy, how much is it, is the tour filled up? Maybe we can tie our forum meet in with Architreks? ColDayMan, we need one of these for your famous neighborhood tours:
May 10, 200619 yr Everyone is of course welcome. It is $10. And while I know he have some people signed up, no RSVP is required and there usually is always room. However the reason I didn't offer is that it would tie up everyone for two hours as I describe buildings downtown in the area generally bounded by 6th, Plum, Court, & Broadway. (Some other tour guide is giving the 4th & 5th Streets "South" Tour at the same time I give the "North" Tour.) The pace might be a little slow for everyone esp. if you want to make it to OTR, Prospect Hill, Mt. Adams, etc. all in the day.
May 10, 200619 yr I intend to be there unless the weather is really bad. So count me in for two people- myself plus my husband, (I hope that's okay. He just mentioned today that he wants to come. He works in the I.T. industry as a Firewall/Network Security Administrator so I figure he'll fit right in with you geeks and nerds)! :wink:
May 10, 200619 yr BallHatGuy, that sounds great. ColDay - what do you think? I think tieing into the Architreks tour is a great especially since we would be doing much of that anyway. Do you remember how much the trolley above costs for 2 hours?
May 11, 200619 yr Well, it's up to the people who show up if they want to go on the tour or not. I say we spend 2ish hours downtown/Mt Auburn/OTR and then see what everybody wants to do. Then some can do the Starkitect tour, some can do the driving tour, and we all meet at a restaurant for dinner.

May 11, 200619 yr The trolley for the Brewery tour was paid by Merchants on Main and we couldn't have done it without it and them. (I thought it was expensive but I don't know for sure) Keep in mind - The Architreks tour this weekend is a walking tour.
May 16, 200619 yr I'm busy in the morning but should be able to make it in the afternoon. Can someone PM me a cell phone number so I can find you guys? Thank You.
May 16, 200619 yr I'm coming for sure (requested off work). I also believe that UCPlanner will be coming along. Just to make sure I'm going to the right place to meet and have all of the info...could one of the admins PM me and let me know the info in case I dont get back to this board.....Thx!! :-D
May 17, 200619 yr I've been keeping an eye on the weather, and it looks like this week-long malaise is going to lift just in time for the weekend. Saturday's forecast: Channel 5: Partly cloudy, 68 Channel 9: Partly cloudy, 70 Channel 12: Partly cloudy, 68 Channel 19: Partly cloudy, 68 Weather Channel: Partly cloudy, 68 Accuweather: Partly cloudy, 69 So there's some agreement there. Looks like great walkin' around weather!
May 17, 200619 yr I dont know exactly what is normally included during these meets. But UC's Mainstreet grand opening is the 19-20. If we were to venture Uptown that would be a great event to swing by during our meet. Just a thought :wave:
May 17, 200619 yr I will miss the meet because I am attending the ELCA Southern Ohio Synod Conference at the Netherland Hilton downtown on Saturday.
May 17, 200619 yr ^ Sounds like another event for the group to crash. And so close! You'd better come to the Columbus meet, ink... we need proof that you exist!
May 18, 200619 yr My wife's out of town for a business conference the rest of the week, so I went out to eat with a friend at Nicola's tonight, and sat at the bar next to Jim Tarbell. I told him about CincinnatiRoads.com, and I gushed about UrbanOhio.com, and invited him to the meet on Saturday. He asked me to call his assistant and have her remind him about it...I told him we were meeting in Carew by the entrance to the observation deck on the first floor at noon, and he said he didn't know if he could, but he'd try to make it - woo hoo! We could have a Vice-Mayoral escort for the meet!
May 18, 200619 yr I will miss the meet because I am attending the ELCA Southern Ohio Synod Conference at the Netherland Hilton downtown on Saturday. oh cmon, ink, that's just gonna be so much "preachin to the choir" stuff. There's plenty of cool Luthie churches up in OTR.
May 18, 200619 yr I will miss the meet because I am attending the ELCA Southern Ohio Synod Conference at the Netherland Hilton downtown on Saturday. This is not a valid enough excuse, please try again.
May 18, 200619 yr Just spoke with the Vice Mayor's assistant, and she put the meet on his calendar, Carew Tower at noon on Saturday...he's still a maybe, but it's a far firmer maybe than it was before!
May 18, 200619 yr sorry, count me out for this one. Ich kann nicht zu Zinzinnati am Samstag gekommen. Viel Gluck und macht Spass!
May 18, 200619 yr colday was kind enough to call and let me know about the meetup, but unfortunately, i'm in DC until june. have fun everyone!
May 18, 200619 yr Can't come now :-( I'm not happy about this. Hope all of you have a wonderful time! Wish I could finally see Cincy and meet many of you. Hopefully I can get out to Columbus or Cleveland meet.
May 18, 200619 yr I will miss the meet because I am attending the ELCA Southern Ohio Synod Conference at the Netherland Hilton downtown on Saturday. This is not a valid enough excuse, please try again. I'm allergic to PigBoys?
May 19, 200619 yr Add Paradox21 to that list. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
May 19, 200619 yr Monte, since you have a question mark- LaMichelle's name is Lauren. (I hope she doesn't mind my announcing that.) I will miss the meet because I am attending the ELCA Southern Ohio Synod Conference at the Netherland Hilton downtown on Saturday. This is not a valid enough excuse, please try again. I'm allergic to PigBoys? Aw, c'mon... you can put up with just one, can't you? :-D
May 19, 200619 yr Two dozen youngish male urbanite dorks with cameras around their necks ought to stand out at least a little!
May 19, 200619 yr ... and one old fart with a camera and probably a knapsack and a tan Tractor Supply cap. :-D
May 19, 200619 yr It looks like I will be going solo - my husband is home sick today. I'm starting to feel feeling my throat getting scratchy today too..... but I still plan to be there tomorrow. -New Orleans Lady (Mandy)
