Posted February 16, 200619 yr This is the official UrbanOhio meet that will perhaps take place in May or June, but clearly after the Cincinnati and Cleveland regional meets. This meeting will take place in the State Capitol Rotunda and EVERYBODY in the state of Ohio on this forum (and your fellow urbanist friends) along with out-of-state guests are invited. And yes, ColDayMan will be handing out chocolate buckeye candies (like the past UrbanOhio MegaMeet a couple years ago) and I'll be in charge of this event (along with my fellow Columbus forumers). This is the time when people can get together from all parts of the state and meet, laugh, dine, and tour around our capital city. Where: Ohio State Capitol Building, Rotunda, downtown Columbus When: Saturday, June 10th What time: Noon What are we doing?: The tour consists of starting with a walking tour of downtown, Short North, Victorian Village, Dennison Place, Ohio State, and finally the German Village. Lunch will be at the North Market and dinner in the German Village. Driving Directions: Get to downtown Columbus (junction of I-71 and I-70) and park in City Center Mall ($1.00 all day) at Main Street. Be sure to bring $3 for the bus.

February 16, 200619 yr i have no idea if my schedule will be open on any specific date, or whether i can make it available on any said date.
February 16, 200619 yr My availibility will be determined by whether I have some kind of scheduled commitment over the summer (such as a job), but if not I can probably make the trip to Ohio whenever.
April 19, 200619 yr Sorry all, niether will work for me. I'll just have to miss it this year. I am in a wedding that day. I knew I was in the wedding, I just forgot which day it was. Bummer
April 25, 200619 yr I'll be there! (10th) Looking forward to meeting everyone that I do not already know! Here is what I have off: The UrbanOhio Cincinnati Meet - May 20th The UrbanOhio Cleveland Meet - June 3rd The Official All-Ohio, Urban Ohio Meet: Columbus - June 10th
May 3, 200619 yr Pencil me in. I'm a Michigander considering a move to Columbus, and who knows; by June 10, I may be an Ohioan. It's Ohioan, right? Sleepless in Hamtramck
May 30, 200619 yr So, I'm wanting ALL URBAN OHIO MEMBERS TO COME TO THIS MEET. To meet each other, for those from far and wide. We all gotta come together and form THE UrbanOhio Meet! So if you will be attending, say so in this thread! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
May 30, 200619 yr So, I'm wanting ALL URBAN OHIO MEMBERS TO COME TO THIS MEET. To meet each other, for those from far and wide. You need to try harder to get me to "come back home."
May 30, 200619 yr I'm there. Making the trip from Wisconsin AGAIN just for UrbanOhio! So, I'm wanting ALL URBAN OHIO MEMBERS TO COME TO THIS MEET. To meet each other, for those from far and wide. You need to try harder to get me to "come back home." If we pretend it's another Geography convention will you come? :wink:

You need to try harder to get me to "come back home." If we pretend it's another Geography convention will you come? :wink: Only if we can figure out some way to finagle some $$$ from LSU to pay for my trip. Have to laugh, a friend of mine is going to be in Columbus the weekend of your meet for a Climatalogy conference @ OSU (I think he's part of 3 presentations). Alas, I can't tag along with him.
May 30, 200619 yr June 10th looks like it might work out for me. I'm not making any promises but I just might be able to work it into my schedule. :-D
May 31, 200619 yr ALL YA'LL BETTER BE COMMIN' TO THIS MEET!!! Or you're banned. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
May 31, 200619 yr ALL YA'LL BETTER BE COMMIN' TO THIS MEET!!! Or you're banned. Been nice knowing you then. :-P
May 31, 200619 yr i might be able to swing down for a little bit but i can't stay too much later than noon...
June 1, 200619 yr 85% attending "Actually" attending or "stealthly following everyone else around" attending?
June 1, 200619 yr Again, EVERYBODY SHOULD BE COMING TO THIS MEET. This is not a long drive for ANYBODY in this state (okay, fine Ashtabula forumers...). Come one and all to meet each other, drink, eat, and enjoy a day in the Buckeye state!

June 1, 200619 yr Again, EVERYBODY SHOULD BE COMING TO THIS MEET. This is not a long drive for ANYBODY in this state (okay, fine Ashtabula forumers...). You mean Conneaut forumers. Or Louisiana forumers. :-)
June 2, 200619 yr I'm coming. Though I said that about Cincinnati. :) Really, I am, even if just for the day.
June 2, 200619 yr BAH! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 2, 200619 yr [sycophant] Hey, at least some of us loyal out-of-staters are coming, CDM! [/sycophant]
June 6, 200619 yr ^What he said. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 6, 200619 yr Not a long drive for anyone in the state... Is Toledo part of Ohio? :lol: Oh Jesus Christ. What is with this Michigan thing?
June 7, 200619 yr I'm now 95% coming and 75% that I will have two guests. They are two of my best friends from my high school and both attend Capital in Bexley. I've been pushing them to do things in Cbus, but they seem to be more of the Easton crowd. Hopefully the tour will give them an idea of some things to do in the city. I hope this isn't a problem. Edit: 99%, 95%
June 7, 200619 yr The more, the merrier! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 8, 200619 yr From Noon to 7ish (dinner-time). If you have to leave early, that's fine, but that is typically the timeframe. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 8, 200619 yr hey chris, the bus fare is 3.50 for a day pass... But last time, we only used the bus to go from Campus back to the Arena District. (Yes we meandered from the statehouse up to OSU, by foot, at the 2003 C-bus meet)
June 8, 200619 yr Yeah, we might be using the bus just twice. Thus, why waste 0.50 cents? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 8, 200619 yr ^ Hey, that's my job to harp on them about that (but thanks for the back up X)! Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend since we don't have trains between Cleveland and Columbus (at least ones that you can legally ride!). I will be at a meeting in Cleveland on that very subject on Saturday. A fellow UrbanOhioan from Columbus will be at the meeting, too. I hope to attend next year's.

June 8, 200619 yr Unfortunately I can't go because I work on weekends :( I'd love to go to future meets though.
June 9, 200619 yr I hope to attend next year's. Who said there's going to be one next year? It's been almost 3 years since the last Columbus meet.
June 9, 200619 yr Yeah, we might be using the bus just twice. Thus, why waste 0.50 cents? I'm not quite sure what you are saying.
June 9, 200619 yr Who said there's going to be one next year? It's been almost 3 years since the last Columbus meet. That's too bad. Do things change in Columbus that slowly? Ducking for cover now.... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 9, 200619 yr I know some of you people. Some of you I don't. I'll sort you out when I get there.
June 9, 200619 yr ALL YA'LL BETTER BE COMMIN' TO THIS MEET!!! Or you're banned. I can't come to the meet due to work obligations. Sorry, guys. Also, could you please wait until tomorrow to ban me? I got some shit to post tonight.
June 9, 200619 yr Maybe if there was a stop at COSI along the way, I might make an exception and call off work to go :-D. I love that bicycle thing that you ride on the tight rope.
June 10, 200619 yr Although I'm not exactly a regular on this board I may show up just out of curiosity.
