January 14, 2019 at 11:09 amOkay, looks like the meetup is between 6 and 6:30 at Slatts Pub in downtown Blue Ash.
Just have to let Slatts know we’re coming and get a couple o green balloons. Crossing my fingers all goes as planned…
ETA: Arrival time is 6-6:30. Don’t know how long Steve in the ATL stays up.
Remember, guys: Pics, or it didn’t happen!

I love the name Blue Ash. Have fun and send photos so we can see what the globe-trotting Steve in Place-Name-Herw really looks like.

1. I tend to stay up late, but I will definitely be up still at 6-6:30; and
2. I was in at least three photos from the San Fran meetup last year!

Unfortunately my wife is sick with an ear and sinus infection. I’d love to attend, but can’t abandon her to the tender mercies of the 6 year old: a fate worse than death.
Enjoy the dinner, folks!

I’m coming down from Kettering and should be there on time. See you all then!

BTW, I’m thrilled that the green balloon tradition has stuck.

This is pretty much how I see Harris’ position in the primary.
Add in the advantage of an early CA primary, and I expect she’ll be the early favorite.

You kids have fun now!

@Martin: I’m really hoping there aren’t just three (or so) top contenders right out of the gate. I’d like to see some good discussions of positions on the issues and also get a feel for how everybody does once they are in the spotlight and in contention for the nomination.
That said, Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke are my favorites at this point, not necessarily in that order.

@EveryDayIHaveTheBlues: We will miss you! I hope your
bosswife feels better quickly. Mark your calendar for when SD comes to town on her road trip. One meet up absence per local Juicer please.Ohio Mom
@EveryDayIHaveTheBlues: Oh dear. We’ll miss you but certainly understand. Here’s to you and the six year old not catching the big and a quick recovery to Mrs. EDIHTB.
Ohio Mom
@Selius: I think you are number three coming down from Dayton that I know of.
@Another Scott: Learning how to spell my adopted city’s name was a challenge. There are so many ways to combine those four letters.
@Alternative Fax, a hip hop artist from Idaho: Yes, it’s a good thing Steve is providing us with a practice run for the SD meet-up.
@Martin: OMG. I will never be able to look at green balloon the same way ever again.Thanks, I guess.

Friday night in Seattle, Pike Brewing?

@Mike J: Hey Mike J, I have been keeping an eye out for you, and have a question I am hoping to ask you offline. If that is agreeable, I imagine Adam would be wiling to put us in touch.

@Mary G:
Blue Ash was named after all the Blue Ash trees that used to be there before being decimated by the emerald ash borer.
Quite sickening to be honest.
I used to hang out there a lot in the 90’s. I had a very good friend living there.

@Alternative Fax, a hip hop artist from Idaho: @Ohio Mom: Thank you very much! I will pass on the good wishes. At this point, she is on her 3rd round of antibiotics, and will need to see an ENT guy.
The spawn passed it on to us. We’re still suffering, almost 6 weeks later. Meanwhile, he’s busy burning the house down, while mom and dad are too busy trying to breathe…

@Mike J: Unemployment is still being an ass, so can’t make it, But I’m in town the weekend after until Tuesday morning.

@WaterGirl: I’m all ears. If you’re on twitter you could DM me, or if not, I’ve never used my real email address here, but I sent it to DougJ on twitter (with permission to give it to you), so you could email him.
Ohio Mom
It’s 6:03. I’m seated at Slatts with two green balloons floating above me. I guess everyone else is going to be fashionably late.
@EveryDayIHaveTheBlues: There is no disease vector like a young child. It gets better by high school, by then all the bugs have been around the school system twice.
WaterGirl
@Mike J: I am not on twitter, so I’ll email DougJ. thanks.
edit: Just used Contact Us and sent him an email. I have no idea how often he check that account, but at least I have started the process on my end.

Love Cincinnati. Went there for the first time as a lawyer/volunteer for the Clinton campaign in November 2016. Changed my return flight to spend some time exploring the city. Totally underrated destination. The great museums, chili and craft beer took the edge of my incipient post-election depression.

@cintibud: I’m sitting right next to you! (Almost…)
Steve in the ATL
Glad you could make it!

@Peppermint Patrick: Whoa, I also went to Cincinnati to serve as a lawyer volunteer for the 2016 election! Sounds like we both used some of the same self-care techniques to get through the next day; I spent the morning at the Underground Railroad Museum, which was amazing. Then Skyline chili before heading off to the airport. The entire experience was surreal.

@Ohio Mom: Thanks, Ohio Mom, for organizing this. It was so much fun to have dinner with people who get references to Adam Schiff and cheer the news that Steve King was stripped of his chairmanships. Very different from everyday life for me. :D
