[UPDATE:] Let's plan on Friday, September 27 at 5:30. I will suggest Masthead at 1261 Superior Avenue, but I'm still open to other suggestions. (It looks like Forest City is having a ticketed event that night, so I don't think that will be a good option. It's an Octoberfest event that sounds fun, but it's $40 a ticket!)

See you there!

*********

Let's have a Cleveland September Happy Hour UO Meet Up! Use the poll and mark your preferred dates and location. We're going to do this one on a weekend so that if anyone wants to visit from another part of the state they can do so. Feel free to make location recommendations - keep in mind that we will only go to a place that is well served by transit, serves food, and has relatively open seating.

Updated w event details

Selected Other but I'm honestly open for wherever haha FC has always been the best- they might have music in their big room but I'm sure we could find room in the garden!

Sidenote, if anyone would be interested in a bike ride from either location on 9/6-9/7 let me know. I can plan out some routes and we could actually ride this time! lol

 

9/7 is also WRUW studio-a-rama over at Case.

Let's plan on Friday, September 27 at 5:30. The vote was tied, but some people who voted for 9/6 can't make it anymore; I figure picking September 27 gives people more time to plan. It looks like Forest City is having a ticketed event that night, so I don't think that will be a good option. (It's an Octoberfest event that sounds fun, but it's $40 a ticket!) I will suggest Masthead at 1261 Superior Avenue (but I'm still open to other suggestions).

 

People who voted for Sept 27 so I'm expecting to see: @urb-a-saurus @ColDayMan @Growth Mindset @infrafreak @Geowizical @Henke @WindyBuckeye

 

Meeting on a Friday night is to make it more convenient for others around the state to join us - I hope you can make it a fun Cleveland mini-vacation.

 

All are welcome! Sorry if the date doesn't work for you. I'm going to DM people I think I can convince to come - apologies in advance for being annoying, but I know it helps turnout.

I’m in with the missus! Will likely stay that night in a hotel nearby if anyone has any recommendations. Would not want to make a 4 hour drive home after the meet. 

Details are still a tad murky but I should hopefully be setting off on a bike tour that day. I'll be at the next one!

Awesome! Crowne Plaza at Playhouse Square is probably the best combo of proximity and price. The Schofield and the Nine are reasonably close, and the next closest would be Drury (which is beautiful, in the old school board building on the Mall), Weston, and Hilton. 

Intend to be there.

On my calendar ... sounds good for myself and the hubby!

Wish I could attend, but I’ll be in Vegas for the Browns game.

There is a small possibility that I can make this. I was actually planning to drive up from Cbus the next day to attend the Grape Jamboree in Geneva and see my mother-in-law in Ashtabula. I've always wanted to visit Masthead too. There pumpkin ale tastes almost exactly like the one I used to make!

Ah I got a work event where we're going to the guards game that evening so likely won't be making it. But I can try and swing by beforehand since this is starting earlier. 

Fridays are iffy because that's peak Uber time for Kelly.   I'll make it if I can but won't know until that week at the earliest.

Also FYI, IngenuityFest kicks off that Friday if folks need something to do after the meetup.

I thought that said "musky." ☝🏻

And yes, I am still around.

I think I can make this one.

I’ll be out of town on vacation - thanks for organizing @Boomerang_Brian and everyone enjoy!

The UrbanOhio northeast Happy Hour is this Friday, September 27 at 5:30. See you at Masthead Brewing at 1261 Superior Avenue. There are long tables just across from the bar - I'm hoping we'll be able to grab one. Both @richNcincy and @ColDayMan are planning to make the journey northeast to join us. I heard yes or supporting votes from: @urb-a-saurus @Geowizical @Henke @Growth Mindset @WindyBuckeye @infrafreak @Paul in Cleveland @Oldmanladyluck (and some private confirmations)

And 'maybes' from: @GISguy @TMart  @dwolfi01 @E Rocc @musky @marty15 @HugeMilkshake @Foraker @w28th 

 

Who else will be able to make it?

All are welcome. Let's make sure we have a good showing so we can thank our generous online hosts, Rich and Chris. Hope to see you there!

 

 

Musky better show up...or he's BANNED!!!

Gotta watch kids, no can do.

Turns out my niece is coming in for her first sleepover with my kids.  I'll need a drink, but I sadly won't be able to join the group for one.

Sorry, we've had something come up Friday and I'm very sad that we can't attend after all. 😔

One last bump. Tonight’s the night - see you at Masthead!

Still hoping to make it, but had some work deadlines come up with quarter end.

With the strong winds and heavy rain hitting us, I am going to have to take a rain check. It was a last minute decision and I’m bummed we can’t make it. 

I hope everyone else is able to attend safely!

I know this is encroaching on MyTwoSense's lane but if the stiletto fits...

 

Just kidding - stay safe and hopefully you can make it to a future meetup!

That’s a bummer, but very understandable. I also now feel less bad that my wife isn’t going to be able to join us. I look forward to seeing everyone else in a few hours. 

Yeah, I just stepped outside and...no, just no.  Sorry, I can't make it with these winds.  Enjoy the meet and hopefully next time there isn't a hurricane ripping through Ohio.

Oh come on now, I drove over the Main Avenue bridge when the outer bands of Hurricane Sandy hit the lakefront at 70mph. Where's your sense of adventure? 

Weather isn't real! lol not looking forward to driving my windsail Fit later today.

Unfortunately I think I'm in the same boat as ColDayMan. Cbus traffic is terrible right now and I don't think I can make it up safely leaving right after work in speedy time for the event :/

I’m on my way.  Traffic looks miserable so it’ll probably 5:45 when I get there. 

Great to see everyone tonight! It was a pleasure to meet @musky , @Robuu (welcome to Cleveland!) and Alex, who works for the Metroparks. Also in attendance: @Growth Mindset @MayDay and George, Jason, and @infrafreak , Hopefully next time the weather and health cooperate. Masthead is a nice venue. 

Fine, @musky isn't going to be banned after all.  Ugh.
