Posted June 12, 200619 yr First of all, the timing of this meet is (for reasons not worth mentioning) causing me to take more time away from my Wisconsin activities than I would like, and I'd just like to complain about that one last time. (My Wisconsin pals have heard enough of it.) I barely got to speak to most of you at the meet, and rest assured this is because I hate you all. And it was damp and dismal. So here are my crappy pictures of this crapfest. I mean, does this look like good forum meet weather? Even LeVeque can't help us now. God, Columbus is so tacky An elevator on the side... welcome to the 20th Century! THE URBANOHIO COLUMBUS MEET Starring COLDAYMAN as "The World's Worst Tour Guide" and THE POPE as "A chimney" Don't smile at what he says; it will only encourage him! Bricks, how classy Columbus can't even properly tear down a train station in the name of progress, what with all the preservationist hooligans running around taking arches. It's standing right here! Finish the job! Wow, skyscrapers... I'm SOOOO impressed. What an ugly day! That's it, buy your yuppie food... Uh, same deal SOMEBODY had to arrive late, so we all wait while he finishes eating These people again! Short North. Not short enough. Dead fish in this water. Victorian Village? WTF? Victoria is DEAD, people! Rounding the corner... More of this How patriotic. Doesn't look like a mirror to me. By the way, there were dead fish in this one, too! Outta my way, people! Thanks, ColDay, for showing us where people come to die. Ugh. Poor ColDay has to be stuck in this piece of crap. To help fatten all those college students... German Village. We fought them in two world wars for this? What a beautiful building Rhodes Tower is! I don't know Now where the hell did the brick sidewalk go! Be consistent! The Book Loft, which has the nerve to claim the largest selection of jigsaw puzzles in the Midwest, a claim which I can assure you is false. It pales in comparison to my parents' store, Puzzles Plus in Beavercreek. Oh, there's the brick sidewalk. Sheesh. Looks like some kind of SUV. How urban. 3rd Street. Bah. More brick! Evergrey says this place needs more vinyl. Come on, this is 2006! Yeah, we could put some lovely siding on that. So the top of the tower is supposed to be like the houses in German Village? Too bad the rest of the tower is supposed to look like a PILE OF CRAP. Well, looks like the one bit of sidewalk in German Village without deadly undulations. Worth two pictures, apparently. Well, at least this park is decent. Hey, people eat on that! St. Mary's School, eh? Probably lots of indoctrination! FINALLY we're getting a blue sky! Too bad the meet's practically over. Once again The other side of the Book Loft. Bastards. Back in the Short North, I snap a photo while we wait for ColDay's slow ass to arrive where he said to meet him. Meanwhile, the rest of us are being accosted by a pesky incoherent drunk muttering things about Rob's camera. The oldest existing White Castle, according to ColDay. LAME! POS non-functioning arch lights, and as if blue lighting could make that Nationwide shit pretty! All right, these people are getting blurry. Time to get out of this hellhole and back toward Dayton. Good night, Columbus, from a time when I might have said you actually looked nice. :wink: It was fun.
June 12, 200619 yr ouch, not quite sure what to say. Columbus always looks beautiful, no matter what the weather. looks like there was a decent turn out, I'm sorry I couldn't make it.
June 12, 200619 yr Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 12, 200619 yr Geez Pigboy.... too much caffiene? Wish I could have made the gathering, but had a weekend full of "honey-do's" to catch up on. Nice pix of C-bus.
June 12, 200619 yr wish I could have made it to the meet... damn exams... :cry: The amount of times your name came up ... it was like you were practically there! ;) Andy, payback is a bitch! ;) THESE KICK A$$!!!
June 12, 200619 yr Sheesh! What a grouch! :x Despite your best efforts to run the place down, Columbus looks great in your photos. :wink:
June 12, 200619 yr Heh... well, at least some people have picked up on the over-the-top sarcasm. :wink: Seriously, it was a good time. No gloomy weather--and not even ColDayMan's death march--can spoil the wonderful neighborhoods of Columbus!
June 13, 200619 yr Heh... well, at least some people have picked up on the over-the-top sarcasm. :wink: Seriously, it was a good time. No gloomy weather--and not even ColDayMan's death march--can spoil the wonderful neighborhoods of Columbus! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whip:
June 15, 200619 yr Hey, people eat on that! I'm sorry. Don't make me cry. It was all in the name of art, namely this photo:
June 17, 200618 yr Trash. You are all trash. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 19, 200618 yr Was Cincy-Rise late to another Urban Ohio Meet? LOL It looks like ColDay did a rehash of the same Columbus Tour I was on in 2003. Please tell me you guys didn't eat at Chipotle during a Columbus Meet. Doesn't Columbus have local restaurants? That is disappointing... Nice photos as always Andy.
June 19, 200618 yr We ate at all local joints, Mr. Deerfield. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 19, 200618 yr Was Cincy-Rise late to another Urban Ohio Meet? LOL That's my trademark. Even if I'm running early for something, I'll wait or sit around and kill some time ... No, you will not catch me early for anything.
June 19, 200618 yr Someone should label one of the pictures with forumers...it would be cool to know who everyone is.
June 21, 200618 yr Now I don't feel so bad about missing the meet. Clearly Columbus is a trumped up cesspool. I'm just going to cut my losses and go back to Detroit. KF P.S. Pigboy: what did you use to shoot these? I'm in the market. My camera, which had been stumbling along for several months, finally bit it while snapping pix in Italian Village. Hmmm. Nah. Just a crazy conicidence... Or was it?
June 21, 200618 yr ^ Cesspool? I wish! :-D My camera is a FujiFilm Finepix S5100 or something... although there is probably a newer model now. It's the same camera ColDayMan has, by the way, and I'm pretty sure I saw one or two more at the meet. It's a popular choice!
