Posted April 16, 200817 yr Hi all, I have created a new website/online community called NEOphytes for those new to Northeast Ohio. I have not officially launched or announced the site anywhere yet, but MayDay is graciously letting me use some photos and KJP allowed me to reproduce his relocation thread, although I split it up into three sections and I'm continuing to add to it. I just wanted to make sure it is okay with some of you here that I copied that thread, because I know that some of the photos in that thread are not his, so if I used anyone's photo and you do NOT want it used on NEOphytes, please let me know and I will remove it, or I can just credit you for it if you prefer. I hope some of you will visit the site from time to time to share your wealth of knowledge. I am looking for moderators, if anyone is interested please let me know, I would love to have some UOers on there. I'm still doing some tweaking but I hope to launch the site in the next week or so, and keep an eye out for upcoming NEOphyte events. http://www.neo-phytes.com.
May 25, 200817 yr I would really love to have some UOers at this event. Whether you can or cannot attend, if you would post something, anything on the forum, it would really help me to have as many registered members, posts, welcomes and activity on the site as possible as I start to spread the word over the next few weeks and people start finding the site. (It's that chicken and egg thing that makes it hard to start something new like this, no one wants to post anything if there is no activity on the site, and there won't be any activity on the site until people start posting. Same thing for the first event - no one wants to RSVP unless they know others are going, but the others won't go if no one RSVPs...) Announcing the first NEOphytes event! Whether you are new to Cleveland or a passionate local who wants to help welcome those who are, mark your calendars for the first NEOphytes Meet & Mingle on Tuesday, June 17. Meet other new Clevelanders, discuss and share ideas about the future and mission of NEOphytes, and enjoy beer, wine, light appetizers and live music at this MOCA Mix event. RSVPs are not required, but it would help us to plan if you respond to this thread so we can get an idea of how many will be coming. Event details: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm MOCA Mix: sounds: Vialka Members FREE / $6 Non-members (this refers to MOCA members, not NEOphytes members) Cash bar / appetizers complimentary provided by NEOphytes (Map below) “Vialka can switch styles in seconds... in one exhilarating piece. My face hurts. I can’t stop smiling. Four stars!” Stewart Lee / The Sunday Times (London/GB) The traveling husband and wife duo, Eric Boros (guitar & voice) and Marylise Frecheville (percussion & voice), Vialka combines medieval tropes, with the ferocity of a power punk trio. Yet somehow they manage to make beautiful songs, full of fairy tale-like endings, sad turns, and tragic young lovers.

June 6, 200817 yr FYI, this MOCA event has been cancelled, some problem with the musicians' schedule, so the NEOphytes event has been cancelled as well. Stay tuned, we should have a new date and event picked shortly.
