Cincinnati meetup?

Cincinnati meetup? It is all about the food. And the drinks. And the sarcasm. We are MeFi Cincinnati... and we need to meet! I know there has to be at least...4 or 5 of you out there, right? Anyone up for a meetup night in Feb?

Oh man, would that you asked this in early 2007 rather than early 2008. As it is, I hope you get some folks to show up.

I could be convinced

How does either February 28th (Thursday) or the 29th (Friday) sound?

Any suggestions for the locale? I can throw out a handful:

Guru India (Northern, KY in Crescent Springs off of the Buttermilk Pike exit on 75 -- Indian/Pakistani, This is a new place opened by Ambar India's owners over in Clifton. REALLY great Indian food w/o the crowd. For now.)

Dewey's Pizza (3 locations -- Awesome Pizza)

Shanghai Mama's (Downtown -- Chinese that is the best I have had)

Chez Nora's (Covington -- Varied menu)

Nicholson's (Downtown -- Scottish pub, rad berrs and authentic food)

Slims (Northside -- gour-comfort food at it's finest. Great atmosphere)

Cock & Bull Pub (Covington -- The best Wings around, Great selection of beer)

I am looking forward to this!

opps! I left out:

Universal Grille (Downtown -- Great grille fare - Plus the only place I have found that serves 'Chicken and Waffles' since I left California!)

i'm in columbus, but might be convinced

By: caveat empress

caveat empress — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:17:35 -0800

OK, to expand the potential headcount...and for those of you would are willing to be convinced (begged even)! to make the journey:

How about going with Friday Feb 29th?

It will be a rad way to celebrate Leap Year!

Now ... to pick the place. Any thoughts on the suggestions folks?

Additionally - We are near Turfway Park, a thoroughbred racetrack ... we could do dinner, catch a few races (I have connections!) and then head to a local pub. For you out of towners, I can provide a list of local hotels w/good rates.

Feedback?

Alert any MeFites you can think of in Louisville, Lexington, Columbus and of course, Cincinnati! Bring along spouses, friends... Lets have a blast!

PS- Is anyone out there good at Photo Journaling? We need a Photo Master for the meetup!

tizzie — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:58:37 -0800

I'll come and bring a camera - not sure I'm worthy of the "Photo Master" (Mistress?) designation, though. And while I like all of your suggestions, I'd also add The Oriental Wok. They are really nice folks and would spoil us rotten.

Caveat empress, should we firm up the 29th as the date and pick a venue so we can get this in the upcoming meetups list on the front page of MeTa? You're in charge here!
