Northeast (and other) Ohio DUers! We're due for a meetup!

[EstimatedProphet]

See the thread "Dinner at the Prophets'" in the Lounge for the idea origin...http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4076291
So, howzabout a potluck? Hedges says he's in if we do a chili cookoff, and I wouldn't mind doing a pot of chili myself. When is a good weekend? and where would be a good location? What say you?

[johnnie]

1. I might be able to do it here

I don't have a huge house, but it is ok. I guess we can see how many people are going to want to be involved. You and Hedges can do chili and we can have other dishes. I guess we'll see who replies here.

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Sounds good

[Kolesar]

3. Yeah, you're right. We can plot Dewine's Demise

Pot luck would save some moola over getting a restaurant bill.

[EstimatedProphet]

4. And it would potentially be more fun too

[Kolesar]

5. We should be holding house-party fundraisers for state-wide candidates

Paulie, do you hear us calling?

[BillORightsMan]

6. Count me in!

Right now I'm working in COL OH, but I come home to CLE OH every weekend. So weekends would work best for me. Send me a msg via DU Mail when you have a firm date! And I make GREAT potato salad! :P

:patriot:

[WCGreen]

7. I would love to do this, meet some of the folks from DU face to face..

And, I can cook.....

[asthmaticeog]

8. I'm game, the last one was a hoot.

Sunday afternoons are pretty much always good for me, FWIW.

[EstimatedProphet]

9. Do we have any suggestions for a date for the meetup?

If it's a Saturday, any day but Sweetest Day until Thanksgiving works for us.

[WCGreen]

10. Oct 22 is my BDay......

I will be out of town....

Any other day......

[EstimatedProphet]

11. How does November 5th sound?

How will this work for everybody? First Saturday in November.

[WCGreen]

12. Cool....... for me.....

[johnnie]

13. That might work

I am not quite sure about my place though now. Not because I don't want the fine people of DU there, but there has been some recent things that might prevent me from having it there.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. No problem-keep me posted

If we can't do it there, we'll come up with something.
I am going to put the date up in the Lounge, unless anyone has a disagreement...?

[OhioChick]

15. I don't venture over here that often

but this sounds fun. Has this meet-up already happened? I'll check back.

[Kolesar]

16. nobody's kicked this thread in a while, so I don't think you missed it

I think Estimated Prophet would have PM'ed everybody on the thread since he is the "instigator".

[OhioChick]

17. Thanks! n/t

[OzarkDem]

18. I don't mind hosting

I've got room and have hosted a number of MoveOn, etc. meet-ups.

[Kolesar]

19. Thank you for offering

Where would this be? I am East of Cle.

[OzarkDem]

21. Southern Cuy Co

between Cleveland and Akron. Anyone who wants to attend can send me a PM and I'll give you the address.

We can do it on Sat. Nov. 5, 7 pm. Potluck is ok.

[LaurenG]

20. I would love to meet others as well

Cleveland? First Saturday in November? I'll bring whatever is needed.

[EstimatedProphet]

22. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT- DU meetup

When: Sunday, November 6th at 5 pm

Where: at the home of OzarkDem, between Akron and Cleveland OH.

This will be a potluck and chili cook-off. I'm bringing my Hannibal Lechter's chili. Anyone else who wantys to bring chili, or if you'd rather bring another dish, feel free to sign up here and say what you're planning to bring.

Keep this kicked!

[BillORightsMan]

26. Can I come, too?

I don't know where anybody lives, so could you send out DU mail to my inbox w/ directions, phone no, etc.? I'd very much like to meet the NE Ohio DU crowd. Sounds like fun!

btw, did I mention I make a GREAT potato salad? :9

[EstimatedProphet]

27. Absolutely

PM OzarkDem for directions

[EstimatedProphet]

23. So who's coming?

So we have some idea how much food to make...
PM OzarkDem for directions.

[Kolesar]

24. I will probably be our canvassing for RON again on Saturday

I hate to say this late that I am still on the fence. Got a big list of things to do. If I don't have time to cook to bring a dish, can you feed me? I am a vegetarian.

[EstimatedProphet]

25. OK, but it's Sunday, in case you got the dates mixed up

And the Beastpeople are bringing veggie pizza...:9
