From commenter OhioMom:
Steve in the ATL is coming to the CVG on Monday, January 14 and Tuesday, January 15. How about welcoming him with a Cincinnati meet-up?
Steve will be in Blue Ash and Ohio Mom suggests we meet at Slatts Pub on Cooper near Kenwood because it’s relatively quiet for a bar restaurant. But any and all other suggestions welcomed. Leave your preferred day, time and location in the comments.
You all know what to do.
Open thread!

Would love to but can’t make Tuesday evening – That’s our food pantry night. Monday would work though.

my moms and sis lived for years in Cincy.
I tried but didn’t stick.
have a great meet up guys!

Obama and baby Paisley!

@cintibud: Which food pantry?
I don’t have s preference, Monday is as good as Tuesday to me.
P.S. Thanks again Adam

@lamh36: I miss him so much. I was like, yes, Paisley is adorable, but why does he have bandaids on two fingers? I suppose it’s some golf thing, but I went right into being bad at hanging pictures.

@lamh36:
I hadn’t seen it. Thank you. I miss him so much.
We’re reading Becoming — it is fantastic.
Adam L Silverman
@Ohio Mom: You’re welcome.
Ohio Mom
@debbie: I dunno. If was carrying my baby, or was with someone who was carrying a baby, and Obama came up to us, I’d be more likely to drop the phone or accidentally turn it off than get actual footage as good as that terrible camera work was.
Cincinnati has a reputation as Dullsville. Considering that most of the local jackals seem to have logged off, maybe it’s so.
Jackie
@Ohio Mom: Why not both/either or nights?? I’m in eastern WA, so I can’t make it, but…?
A Ghost To Most
I try not to travel to the occupied territories.

@cintibud: Mt. Airy, that’s a far piece from Blue Ash. If this meet up doesn’t materialize, our paths may never cross.

When I saw him (before he was Pres), I almost fainted. I think I terrified him, I was smiling so hard.

LOL! We all want and expect him to be perfect!
“Can’t hang pictures straight? Fuck that, no way I’m voting for him!”

@Ohio Mom:
I’d be more likely to drop the baby.

Good advice always, but has something happened to prompt that comment? Hope you and yours are okay. Please let us know.

Wife is a former national local union officer — can we bring a baseball bat???
Kidding !! Steve in the ATL seems to be a good guy, his job doesn’t kill that off at all. People working for the Trump, on the other hand…..!!!

@debbie: You’re in Columbus, right? Only a 90 minutes drive…
Ohio Mom
@Selius: Great!

Somebody on FB just posted a TUNE OUT TUESDAY! thing telling people to spread the word NOT to listen to whatever shit spews from Dump’s anus-mouth tomorrow evening on the major news networks.
I’m like, this is your rallying cry — spread the word to tune out?? You couldn’t pay me to tune in.

How about Monday? I have a card that we can all sign and send to the granddaughter of the Juicer (whose nym I’ve forgotten!) from Beavercreek who was at the last meet up here. The card says:
like it’s a campaign button with stars and bunting at the top/bottom and the inside says
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
I’d enjoy it if I were a kid!

“Gimme Paisley.”
Such a mensch. Such a good man.

@Keith P.: I had to mute. QUICKLY. UGH

@Alternative Fax, a hip hop artist from Idaho:
What a great idea! Wish I could sign it virtually.

@Keith P.: Just gonna say that a wailing Steve and an autotuned lil Wayne be be difficult to disambiguate.

@Alternative Fax, a hip hop artist from Idaho: Looks like Monday, between you and cintibud. Now if Steve in Nowheresville, Alabama would turn his attention away from the football game…

@J R in WV: I’m bargaining 4 and 6 year contracts right now, so are expecting to be doing business with unions for a long time!

@cintibud: When I moved to Cincinnati as a VISTA worker, one of my coworkers was driving me to a meeting I don’t remember where, maybe Bridgetown? When we got to Cheviot, Maxine said, “This is Cheviot. People who are born here, die here.”
Which I grew to learn, was never quite true, even when it was more likely to be true. But Maxine’s words have stayed with me for 40 years.

I hope posting this works this time. Flaky router.
cintibud
@Ohio Mom: LOL, more true than not. Something I learned when I first moved down here in 1978, although I was on the East side at the time.
Here in Cincy when they ask what school you went to, they mean High School, not college – as you no doubt learned

@CarolDuhart2: The minute SITATL said Blue Ash, I thought…hmmm, that’s not going to be easy for Carol. I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.

@cintibud: Yes, just last month I was somewhere off my beaten paths, saw this woman looking at me, looked back at her. We agreed we look familiar to one another, then she asked, “Did you go to Walnut?”

Aww I hope y’all have a great time! I don’t know if anything happened with Rue, but as far as I’m concerned I’ll be over in the Seattle are from January 26th through the 29th. My appointment is Tuesday morning and I might squeeze in a couple of other things with friends but otherwise my schedule is wide open.
Adam/AL I can e-mail this to either one of you if you need it.

@CarolDuhart2: We should meet closer to you! I wish I remembered where that was; I know Kathleen is more western. What about something in Oakley? Steve in Demopolis and Ohio Mom and I could hop down 71. At least there’s time to plan!
I’m off to the hay now, but will check tomorrow at some point.

WTF?
This shit is unAmerican as fuck.
stinger
@lamh36: I do feel a little bad for the guy because, from now until he breathes his last, he’ll never be able to just play a game of golf. Surely sometimes he would prefer to be left alone. It seemed that what called him over to this group of admirers was the chance to hold a baby!

@lamh36:
(raises hand) I am familiar with the works of Neal Adams and George Perez…
(looks at Netflix link) It’s not a major comic series… (does research) It looks like it started as a webcomic and got pick up by Dark Horse, so the pedigree is good.

@Alternative Fax, a hip hop artist from Idaho: I’m off to bed too, I’m pretty good with wherever we decide. I expect Ms. Cintibud will be coming as well

But when the cat’s away…Mads will do?? ?

OK, I’m warming up to this woman:
The amount of tut-tutting over her playing fast and loose with facts in the media has me wanting to slap someone. STILL so many misogynists around DC and NY media.

Oh, hell, we’re not talking about Trump’s package again are we?
Clemson, thank you.

@Adam L Silverman: Can do. Faxed over some requested info to unemployment today so hoping that bottleneck unsticks, I know I’m okay through the end of the month right now, but I do need that UI money to start flowing soon. Or I’m going to be a hurting unit.

I was just in Cincinnati last week, staying at the Hampton on Creek Road in Blue Ash, visiting my parents in Montgomery. All in the timing.

@Mustang Bobby: merde!
Ohio Mom
@CarolDuhart2: I am wondering if we can ask @cintibud: to give you a lift — since he is coming from the west side, and Northside (I think I remember correctly that’s where you live) is on the way to points east.
But I haven’t the faintest idea how to make this happen.
cintibud
@Ohio Mom: We are close to Northside and could give a lift. Let me know at blogreply AT spamex period com

It’s Friday night — don’t know if anyone is checking this thread or not. I just sent an email to Anne Laurie asking for another thread so we can finish hashing the details out and get this thing started (ifwe’re not all still snowed in Monday).
