Let's do a March Happy Hour. Use the poll and mark your preferred dates and location. (Sorry, lunch won't work for me in March). Hey @ColDayMan @MayDay @KJP @GISguy @X @tykaps @PoshSteve @Cleburger @KFM44107 @Luke_S @Growth Mindset @Kurtis @YABO713 @Gramarye @mack34 @urbanetics_ @mrclifton88 @MuRrAy HiLL @richNcincy @LlamaLawyer @Htsguy @Oldmanladyluck @mu2010 @Dblcut3 @TBideon @infrafreak @urb-a-saurus @LibertyBlvd @LifeLongClevelander @E Rocc @Clefan98 @ASP1984 @marty15 @freefourur @MyPhoneDead @TotalTransit@mermaidlindsay @MyTwoSense

Wednesday and Thursdays are no these days for kid related reasons.   

Monday and Wednesdays are no for me due to kid-related reasons. 

OK let's do this! UrbanOhio Cleveland Happy Hour on Thursday, March 9 - top date choice by a slight margin. Tentatively at Saucy Brew Works (Detroit and W29th). I'll call them in the next few days and either make a reservation or just confirm there will be plenty of seating. I'll plan to be there by 5:30. Get there when you can get there. Sorry to those that this time doesn't work for - hope to catch you at a future meet-up.

 

So far we're expecting: @Oldmanladyluck @ColDayMan @Luke_S @KJP @WindyBuckeye @infrafreak @Growth Mindset and of course ALL are welcome. Please reply below if you can make it.

 

Hey Chris - can we get the headline treatment?

 

Who else can join us? @Ethan @MayDay @GISguy @X @tykaps @PoshSteve @Cleburger @KFM44107 @Luke_S @Kurtis @YABO713 @Gramarye @mack34 @urbanetics_ @mrclifton88 @MuRrAy HiLL @richNcincy @LlamaLawyer @Htsguy @Dblcut3 @TBideon@TotalTransit @mermaidlindsay @MyTwoSense @urb-a-saurus @LibertyBlvd @LifeLongClevelander @E Rocc (sorry the day doesn't work for you!) @Clefan98 @ASP1984 @freefourur @MyPhoneDead   @OldEnough @yanni_gogolak @marty15 @Milkshake1 @dwolfi01 @Silent Matt @Sapper Daddy @Whipjacka @BoomerangCleRes @ASPhotoman @Geowizical @mu2010 @Ineffable_Matt @DO_Summers @Mendo  @nammoumj @Blimp City

Yeah horse class is Ardyn's favorite thing to do, I don't like to miss it and she might yell at me.   You all have fun.

I've got a BikeCle meeting at 6, but it's in the right neighborhood to head over after..

I'll plan to be there, see you guys there. Probably closer to 6 for me.

Done.

I think I can make it

On my calendar with a big red flag 

Drats, have an event that evening.

Tentative :) 

 

I'm saying there's a chance !

Thank you @Boomerang_Brianfor including me in the list of invitees.  I'm a former native Clevelander living near Philly who spends an inordinate amount of time on this site because ... well, I'm fully vested in NE Ohio's and all of Ohio's success.  Soon i will be erecting a backyard tower and high power telescope I once stole from a shed behind the Warner and Swasey Observatory to watch the progress of the present and future downtown Cleveland construction boom.   

 

Finally, i very much appreciate the dedication of many, many posters to making UO such an enjoyable and informative site.

As for now I see no reason why I can't make it. Looking forward to it!

Oh yeah, like I had suggested before: can we wear name tags with our UO names on them? 🤣

Yes, I brought some labels on @GISguy’s nametag suggestion last time, and we labeled up.  @ColDayMan didn’t follow the rules and hilarity ensued. I’ll do my best to remember to bring the labels again. 

SNITCH!!!

At least your secret (identity) is safe with @Gramarye

We're all doomed.

Won't be able to make it, but have a good time, everybody!

I won't either--on the road for work.  Enjoy!

BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys, but my job moved me to DC

Not going to be able to make this one. 🙁  Got another event with the kids.

 

At least I've been to Saucy Brew Works a few weeks ago so I'm not missing a golden opportunity to check another Cleveland brewery off my bucket list.

Sometimes it's more fun to guess.   :)

Hope to be there.

Tomorrow (Thursday, March 9) is the day! I look forward to seeing many of you at Saucy Brew Works. I plan to get there by 5:30. I called and emailed Saucy and never heard back, so I'm assuming it's just a "show up" situation and no reservations are required. If the area behind the fireplace is available, I'll try to grab that.

 

I'm currently expecting: @Oldmanladyluck @ColDayMan @KJP  @Luke_S @infrafreak @WindyBuckeye @Growth Mindset @GREGinPARMA  @GISguy (but late)

And I heard "maybes" from: @urb-a-saurus @marty15  @MuRrAy HiLL and  @MayDay 

I'm sure we'll get a couple lurkers to show up too.

Can we talk anybody else into joining us? @tykaps @PoshSteve @KFM44107 @YABO713 downtown mayor @mack34 @urbanetics_ @mrclifton88 @LlamaLawyer @Htsguy @mu2010 @Dblcut3 @TBideon  @LibertyBlvd @LifeLongClevelander @Clefan98 @ASP1984 @freefourur @MyPhoneDead @TotalTransit @mermaidlindsay @MyTwoSense

I’m in!

You better bring an UrbanOhio sign this time!!!  WE ARE A PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE, not TWITTER!!!

Hope to show up to one of these, but I’m not available tomorrow. Everybody have fun!

I will be there- but I’ll be late 😩. One meeting in Euclid that I have to be at and then I’ll be on the way!

I should be able to get there around 6. Maybe a little earlier.

Unfortunately not going to be able to make this one. Have fun, and thanks again @Boomerang_Brianfor coordinating!

I should still be able to make it, but work is having other thoughts. Auditors driving me crazy.

I’m sure we’ll be there a while - come on over whenever you can make it. 

The more I've thought it over I'm going to be a game time decision - getting ready to drive down to FL tomorrow and have done zero packing or planning or anything other than "drive south". If anything I wouldn't mind setting up a little bike ride or something before our next meetup. 

 

PS- anyone have any banned books they want me to leave around down there?

Edited March 9, 20232 yr by GISguy

So, unfortunately, I'm stuck in WORK HELL right now and will not be able to attend.  Of course they pile all of this one me the DAY OF HIS MEET so yeah, this sucks.  I'll be at the next meet you all setup.  Have fun!

Thanks everyone - but with the newborn and my parents coming down for dinner I don't think I'll be able to make it

Welp...I really thought I could manage priorities and work / life balance...but unfortunately cannot make it tonight.  

 

Everyone enjoy the beautiful evening.

DRIVING to Florida? I figured you'd ride your bike. And now how am I going to give you are hard time about becoming the main character on CLE Twitter for like 15 minutes? Thank goodness we have Elmo's idiocy to distract the masses.

CONGRATULATIONS! I was hoping to hear an official update on that situation soon. I hope everything is going well and the three of you are getting situated nicely. Good luck getting sleep.

I'll be a bit late but I'll be there!

Terdoff definitely did not show up. 

It was so great seeing so many of you this evening! Thanks @Growth Mindset @Luke_S Joe Schwarten, an anonymous lurker who definitely isn’t Terdoff, @KJP @GISguy @mermaidlindsay @marty15  @urb-a-saurus  @infrafreak @Blimp City   @tykaps . Sorry if I missed anyone! We’ll see you all again soon. And Saucy was a great venue, but I definitely should have grabbed two tables. 

 

Oh boy, I didn’t do a good job with the camera on this first one. 

 

 

The red arrow is pointing to our new friend who definitely isn’t Terdoff. 

 

Where'd everyone go?!?! Seriously great seeing everyone and thanks to Brian for setting it up.
