I propose a meeting of the Cleveland stripcreator regulars in Cleveland on Sunday, January 13, 2002. I would love to meet as many of you as are game to attend, along with significant others. It can be a wholesome, family fun type thing, or a night of drinking and (mild) debauchery. I'm up for either. I just want to meet and hang out.

Any takers?

Sunday.... hmmm...

I probably wont be doing much. E-mail me before you come into town and let me know where you'll be. Maybe Gabe and I can use that weekend to whomp up a vat of jambalaya and we can sit around and get stuffed, so to speak.

:- )

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

I doubt I can get someone to drive me to cleavland... sorry ;)

I assume there aren't any SF Bay Stripcreator regulars besides me. Just wondering, because if there were, it'd be cool.

Me and Lara were planning to come up for that sci-fi marathon at CWRU the weekend of the 19-21 cause she said you'd be in town that weekend, does this mean you're on a two-weekend engagement in Cleveland?

Indeed.

I will be at the marathon. You will know which one I am, because I will be one of the few people who doesn't smell bad because she cares enough to bring a washcloth and use it when needed.

the 13th I work til 5pm, so it'd have to be a later thing (lemur and I could get there around 7:30pm or so) - are you thinking evening rather than afternoon?

I think I may skip the scifi marathon- remember how I said I'd go if I was in the state? well, I'll be leaving the state in about 2-6 weeks from then, and I really need as much time as possible to pack pack pack. taking off 2 days to see films may not be the best use of my time.

Please everyone* come to Cleveland- the month after, I'll be in Washington State** working on the top secret "Clippy XP" project, and I'd like to meet as many of ya'll as possible before I split.

*everyone does not apply to everyone. Use as directed.

**Yes, I'm moving to the Seattle area. Nyah Nyah!

The two times I stayed at hotels in the Cleveland area, they provided washcloths.

Though both of those places were closer to Akron.

Hmmm, maybe you should set up the get-together closer to the City of Rubber.

I meant at the marathon. I bring toiletries and freshen up at some point. Most of the people who'll be there are smelly geeks in everyday life, and see no reason to change just because they'll be spending 36 hours shoulder to shoulder with other people.

Evening would be fine, as long as people don't start pleading age and early mornings, and wuss out too early. :)

Seeee, that's exactly the kind of fun-killing responsibility that I am talking about. Wuss.

Alas, I can't make it. We're going to New Orleans in February (no, not for the SuperBowl) and that pretty much uses up our discretionary travel income for the next quarter.

If you care, this is our anniversary trip that we were planning for Sept. 30th that we delayed because of the 9/11 attacks.

Gave up on the idea of Scotland, hu?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. We're a little short on cash right now and travel would be pretty expensive.

My bad. I missed the Cleveland part. I thought you said Argentina.

Cleveland shouldn't be an issue, seeing as how I live here.

Come to think of it, I'm not strapped for cash either. I've got money coming out of my ears.

I just found another one of those manilla envelopes stuffed with thousand dollar bills. I have no idea how it ended up under the couch, but c'est la vie.

I'm still, however, a skinflint bastard so don't think this means I'll be buying any of you lowlifes drinks.

Except maybe bunner. I think I still owe him one.

Don't think I have any reservations about beating up a senior citizen.

Good, just as long as it's nowhere near western NC... That way I can flake out with the convenient excuse of "I can't travel that far" so that I don't have to end up attending, only to sit alone in the corner and brood.

No, that was going to be our summer vacation. Though if my wife gets into the program to get a teaching certificate, there will probably be no vacation at all. Still, I hope she gets in.

I still might come for that, unlike no-fun

If you drive too fast on the highway, do the disks start to fly off your car? Has one of them ever spun around, ninja throwing star style, and killed anyone?

That just reminded me... I saw my first art car live and in person last night driving around downtown Athens GA.

yes to both questions.

Hey, where's Nate live again?heh heh
