Hey guys - I'm in Dayton for 2 weeks for work, and wondered if there's anyone around who would like to get together for dinner one evening. I know I'm not a big poster, but thought I'd throw it out anyways.
Feel free to email me at swampjedi at hotmail dot com.

I'll be in Springboro this weekend, just south of Dayton. I'm not actually allowed to go to Dayton by myself, but I may be able to bring a friend, say... late Friday evening or early Saturday evening(late lunch/early dinner?). There's a Bravo! by the Dayton Mall in miamisburg, we could meet there. I can't do anything late Saturday or Sunday, cuz I'm going to a party and then I have to come back to Columbus for school(but if you're in Columbus, I'd be mroe than happy to meet you on campus). Email me at fortner.34@osu.edu if you;re interested in Bravo(Italian food, if you've never had it before).

That sounds cool - Saturday works best for me, since I'm in class on weekdays. I'll email you to set something up.

Awesome. Is it okay if I have a couple friends with me? Forgive me for being paranoid, but I don't like meeting strange people by myself.

Okie dokie. A couple of my friends need a ride to the party that night anyway, so they'll be with me. I'm thinking we'd have to do something around 2- Bravo, at least, takes a little bit to get the food, and they're kidna crowded most saturdays. If that's okay, we can meet there(or another area restaurant of your choice, such as Friday's or PF Chang's)around that time. I have a hair appointment at 8:30 that morning(and since it's a full color, I'm not sure how long it'l take) and the prty starts at 7, and I have to get in costume before that. So... just let me know. Also, any way I can get your name and a picture so I know who I'm looking for? ^.^

Correction, upon search, he posted earlier today. Maybe he just hasn't gotten online since this thread was started. But hopefully he'll be able to join us.

I'm pretty sure something is wrong with his computer. And he can see hatrack from work, but I could be wrong.

I hadn't checked back here since I'd gotten off work (breyerchic is right that my computer died, but I've replaced it).
I'd love to meet you, Swampjedi! I'm free either Thursday or Friday night of this week, and the latter half of next week as well. When works for you? Also, what kind of food do you like? Dayton has surprisingly good Thai and Indian food.

Noemon, I do love Thai food, though I'm somewhat of a neophyte.
I think I'm going to have to say next week, as I feel a bit off today. I think the airport food made me sick. Too bad I have to get to class.
Next Friday is a federal holiday, if I'm not mistaken, so I'll have a long weekend of zero to do but lurk on Hatrack. Posts: 1069 | Registered: Feb 2005

No problem, next week it is. Hope you feel better! What kind of classes are you in Dayton for, out of curiosity? When do you plan to go back to...::checks profile:: Atlanta?

I'm at AFIT for a logistics management class. It's an 80 hour class, just short of being long enough to have to sign a continuing service agreement. It's not but tangentially related to my job, but it was enough for my unit to fund me.
I head back to Georgia on 17 Nov.
Next Friday sounds smashing.

I wasn't legal or around for ornerycon... but I'm 18 now! yay!
msquared, you are more than welcome to join us at Bravo Saturday. I assume, living in Centerville, you know how to get there.

Yeah, anyone who wants to come to Bravos is more than welcome to. We can have a minicon, hehe. THe idea is 2pm, if I'm not mistaken.

I'd say MiamiCon - first, this is the Miami valley, and second, it'll cause doubletakes.
One bit of (to me) humor - I actually live in Centerville... Georgia. I can't seem to get away from the place, hehe.

Dayton's not unheard of, but Springboro certainly is, and Miamisburg is pretty unheard of too. There are too many Centervilles in the world for anyone to care about the one in Ohio.

I will see what I can do. The oldest has a marching band competition that day and there are projects around the house that we need to get done before winter hits.

I'm half Real at the moment... hopefully I can change that soon.
For the record, three of my friends are coming with me, two girls and a guy. Just to let you know. If you get there before me, wait up, or put you name in as SwampJedi. If I get there before you, I'll wait for you, or in case of a long wait, I'll put my name in as "Fortner."

Completely understandable. My friends are a little more than a bit crazy. I swear, most of the time they behave(except Julia, who I have to forcibly shut up sometimes in order to get a word in edgewise). Sorry about them. They take some getting used to.

Noemon, what day works best for you this weekend? Personally, I want to try to make it to the AF Museum sometime. I don't know what that means, though.

It's been a while since I've been to the Air Force Museum; I'd be up for another trip. Want to have lunch on Saturday and then head over there? Mark, any interest in joining us?

It sounds like a lot of fun. I've been meaning to get back there for a while now. Any particular time work better for you than any other? If not, let's just plan on meeting at, say, noon.
Food options include: Vietnamese - good but not fantastic, has the advantage of being very close to the museum
Greek - fast foodish, but decent for that kind of thing. Also close to the museum
Indian - further from the museum, but there are several very good places to choose from
Thai - 20 minutes or so from the museum, probably the best Thai food I've had in the US
Burgers -Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers and the Oasis Cafe are both close, and both make good burgers. Oasis has decent sandwiches of other types as well.
Breakfast type stuff - Sunrise Cafe in Yellow springs is going to be about a half an hour from the museum, but it features the best pancakes I've ever had, period, and very good omlettes. Their lunch menu is really good too.
